the smökki is a very big room which we will rent 24/7 for the
duration of the event. since the absolute majority of the users
will come with wifi notebooks and we can expect most of them to
have 11g... smökki has room for 150 people, so we might need
several (8?) APs there. (will we use radius and WPA or WEP?)

at debconf4 we had all kinds of crappy APs that people brought
and actually got praise for the excellent coverage, roaming and
stability of the network.  p2-mate worked on that (with others)
and he will be there early, too. i would expect that we will be
able to achive as good results this year, with intel's APs...

the only thing i know is that they might be centrino based, and i
will ask for more details.

is mencoder (or whatever we will use) cabable of utilizing smp
machines? 

How much harddisk space should i ask for? debian-day, 14+ talks, ... ?
