Sorry, I'll catch up soon! Don't mean to ignore everyone and their requests. And I have/had nothing to do with the website - that's someone else.

Steve- If you haven't already, can you coordinate DNS with enginehosting so they can get the content management system set up for the MICE website? Also, let us know when the graphics are ready to go. All, if someone would like to step up and get the ball rolling for some basic content on the website it would be great!

Fiber switch for CNS space
by Steve Howard 09 Aug '10

09 Aug '10

Hello, We are thinking about purchasing a Cisco Catalyst 3560-E 3560E-12D switch for the fiber switch for the MICE project. It has 12 x 10Gig ports. The 10 Gig ports support the TwinGig adapter which can be used to convert a 10Gig port to 2 x 1Gig (SFP). That should give us plenty of fiber connection options (for now). We use these at various locations and they have worked out pretty well (other than the silly 1000 multicast route limitation). Any thoughts or concerns with this switch?

Welcome everyone!
by Mike Horwath 02 Aug '10

02 Aug '10

Hiya and welcome to the mailing lists! Not much happening YET. Dan, Jay, and I will be meeting soon (possibly tomorrow, still working out schedules) and I think we are having the next big meeting around September 15th, 2010 but I don't think a venue has been aquired yet. Need space for 15-20 people (minimum, there are new people who now know of this group that didn't before), and refreshments of course. Mike of FWR took care of us last time (thanks pal!) over at Grumpy's. Other ideas? I am all down for Grumpy's again if someone can reserve the room for us once more time (cause I suck at that) - it worked out pretty well, and there is a staage we could easily abuse if we have enough people to warrant it. And unless someone in my office barks, I'll cover this round of the event via ipHouse. -- Mike Horwath ipHouse - Welcome home! drechsau(a)iphouse.net The universe is an island, surrounded by whatever it is that surrounds universes. - Berkeley Fortune ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the MICE-DISCUSS list, click the following link: http://lists.iphouse.net/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=MICE-DISCUSS&A=1
