Kettering Kickoff Attendees - Please Read

[Nate Smith]

To all Kettering Kickoff Attendees:
At this year's event, we will be testing a new system known as EventLink, which will provide real-time event information directly to the teams over a specially configured network. The system is still under development, but attached to this post is a screen shot of the main information screen as it is now. If you are interested in using this system, the following requirements apply:
-laptop running Windows 2000 or Windows XP
-Functioning wireless network adaptor, using either 802.11b or 802.11g protocol.
-Windows Installer 3.1 preinstalled (will also be available on site, but please pre-install from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en to save on network traffic on site.)

More information will be available the morning of the event on site.

DISCLAIMER: At this point, EventLink is still a "work in progress." No guarantees are being made as to the availability of the service, or which features it will include. Unforseen circumstances may prevent us from deploying the system as planned. If it appears that this will be the case, a post will be made in this thread as soon as possible. This post is only meant to make attending teams aware of the availability of such a system, and allow them to plan accordingly when preparing for the event. Also, due to the nature of 802.11 wireless communication, the service may not be available in all areas of the venue. No guarantees are made as to 100% coverage inside the venue. The wireless access point will be located at the scoring table near the field. If anyone attending has access to a 802.11 repeater that they would be willing to provide to ensure access in the pit area, please contact me at crazynate@provide.net (not using the e-mail button here, that goes to my gMail account) as soon as possible. The main access point(for compatibility purposes) will be a D-Link DI-524.
