This is exactly the type of thing I would expect to see at a FIRST event!! Awesome! Not only is it convenient, it is also self policing.
GP will be expected and a
trust that the information information provided by the community will be accurate will also be in effect.
Because of my professional experience, I would also like to give this caveat. This Wireless environment can also be a huge open door to spreading virus's, worms, Trojan Horses and the like. This can happen without anyones intent or awareness.
If I am reading your comments correctly, users will have to bring their wireless devices by the RFAS to get Bonjour installed. If this is correct, that would be a great time to request/inspect each laptop/device to verify that some flavor of Anti Virus is installed and updated with the latest definitions. In addition, make certain that the device hosting rfas.local is protected as well.
It is my hope that all FIRSTers would practice safe computing without ever having to mention it. Sadly, we are all human and we all feel invulnerable to these types of infections at one time or another.......... until reality smacks us in the face, and all our precious data is lost.
