Hi all, Warren Harding of JDA has kindly offered to conduct a brief tour of the colocation facility at the Sky Tower tomorrow afternoon at 1pm. A quick look round the communications deck up the tower may be possible (and may not be, depending on what work is going on up there at the time). [the main colo space is at ground level; for ISPs who would want to make use of wireless comms back to their base there is apparently plenty of fibre available up the tower to the comms deck] Each tour needs to be five people or less, due to the safety and security policies in place -- if there are more than five people interested, we will need to do the tour in shifts. If you are interested in this, could you let me know ASAP so I can give Warren some idea of numbers? Meeting point: in the atrium, through the front door to the casino; Time: 1pm, Thursday April 1. I will post details of the access/security/power arrangements in place tomorrow, for the benefit of those who can't come and look for themselves.
