IGadget:

A list of common interview questions. Most likely used for interviewing members to profile them for the blog ... or whatever.

* What is a hackerspace to you?
* What's the biggest failure of your hacker career?
* Would you rather fight a horse sized robotic duck or 100 duck sized robotic horses?
* Why haven't you built that that cool gadget you keep talking about?
* What coolness could happen with $100K in funding for the space?
* What is you proudest achievement?
* What would you like to learn?
* What would you like to teach?
* If a chicken and a half could lay an egg and a half in a day and a half, then how long will it take a monkey with one wooden leg to knock all of the seeds out of a dill pickle?
* Are you an Amateur Radio Operator or would you like to be?

This is an attempt at just before the three year mark, to organize a history of Interlock. For new members or other hacker spaces this is where you can learn from our trials and our tribulations. It gives a reminder of where we have been and how much we have grown. [[User:IGadget|IGadget]]

== Founding - May 2009 ==
As far as I know the 4 initial founding members were AntiTree, Beardicus, Adam and Ashley. In May of 2009 the ball was rolling enough that a hackerspaces.org entry was placed.

It would be nice if someone would pass me some details on the following: How you initially got together, Panera Bread Meetings, Meetup, deciding to create a hacker space, how may people there were when the need of a location was decided, and how fast the location was well located. That all happened before I arrived.

== Temp Space October 2009 ==
Two rooms - the front, about 300sq.ft. and rear 225sq.ft. This small closet of an area was located across the hall from where our first space was being prepped. October 2009 we moved in.
Building management was working on segmenting off our space to be, removing a bunch of junk and clearing out a pile of pipeage from the ceiling. We were clearing things off too.

The move date slipped a few times because of delays on their end and scope changes on ours. We discussed the types of meetings we would hold and how memberships would work. Safety issues and the or the lack of safety measures were discussed and a military issue personal field trauma kit was hung on the wall for future need.

A sink and small hot water tank were added to the planned kitchen area. A couple of minifridges showed up to keep necessary things cold.

Planning for what would be where in the new space was a regular discussion point at meetings. An Electrical Diagram was drawn up for the space and a group of people took it upon themselves to put together a well provisioned network. What is Hacker Space without a network? Boring, but more on that later. A member donated cable from a work upgrade so plenty was on hand. It was decided to hang too much rather than have to string wire later. A six drop box would be installed at every 4 gang duplex outlet the kitchen had three drops. Overkill. Some tool-less install jacks were used which while cheap, were touchy to install. With some confusion and much testing there was a working internal network when we officially opened the doors.

During the following months the number of people in the group exploded. Our first Lightening Talks were scheduled in , . Remey from RIT started bringing in students to collaborate on projects. The Temp Space was getting cozy.

== [[Space_One|First Space]] March 2010 ==

At the beginning of March 2010 we finally moved into our first space. Its 1100 sq.ft. size was just about double the Temp Space and felt huge with possibilities. It was also clean and painted white the floor was painted grey, it was bright, very bright. Right away we started changing things. Beardicus put in place the Keyless door system and it was operational 4-6-2010. Plans were discussed to attach it to the yet un-built LDAP server.

The brightness was addressed by taking out half the florescent tubes and a mostly four person crew of Adam, Ashly, Nick and Steve started painting pipes all different colors. One night after some drinking a couch was painted as well.

The two mini-fridges from the temporary space were upgraded to a regular fridge which turned up from an unused area of the building. It turns out that a full sized fridge uses less electricity over a couple of days than a single dorm fridge does. It has better insulation so it cycles on fewer times once it is at temp. The full size unit holds more 'beverage of choice' too.

This led to some chaos and stubbed toes and a surprise mannequin placed just inside the door in such a way to scare some life into the next person to open the space. Later to become Mannequin Ceiling-Hanger.

Network provider - aka The Trouble with Tribbles
Choosing a network provider turned out to be harder than we thought. TWTC wanted an arm, a leg, and the first born child. That wouldn't work on our fledgling Non Profit budget. Frontier, the LEC, was willing to work on the price point for a three year contract. We had two POTS lines and a DSL carrier on the secondary line. The first DSL Bridge bit the dust because it wasn't attached to the DeMARC well, A random person moving stuff bumped into it knocking it off.

Later to get us the speed they promised they ended up adding a second DSL line in on a third circuit (blind or naked DSL). A special two circuit bridge was installed which no one at their support knew existed or how to troubleshoot. Only 2 field techs in the area knew how it worked. You don't want to be a guinea pig for your internet provider unless they give you a tech support number for the people running the tests. It kept mysteriously failing. Internet service would still be there, both DSL lights would be active, but only few percent of packets would go though.

After many months we were finally given a way to troubleshoot/test it when it was failing and to get it half operational. The problem turned out to be that the unit didn't handle it well when one of the circuits became noisy, but didn't fail completely. The phone board was rewired so that anyone with a pair of pliers could hard fail either circuit to restore partial functionality to internet access. Neither circuit would remain clean for more than a few weeks. This wasn't working out and we were beginning to look at expanding. The search was opened up for a new space and a new internet provider.

== what we do ==
We generally hang out on the Xerox repeater, KE2MK/R, as it is one of the few repeaters we are able to work on 2M/440 from rubber duck antennas on HTs from inside Interlock. We also occasionally use the Harris repeater.

As of late the XARC repeater has been having some difficulties and so we are hanging out on MCARES/N2MPE (146.61) until the issues are resolved.

=== Xerox ARC Repeater ===
* Output: 145.29 (you listen on this frequency)
* Input: 144.69 (you transmit on this frequency) - negative offset
* Output: 444.825
* Input: 449.825 - positive offset
* No PL tone required (RX PL 110.9 works to cut down intermod)
* Echolink node #44856

=== MCARES Repeater ===
* Output: 146.610
* Input: 146.010 (negative offset)
* TX PL 110.9 (no RX PL)
* No Echolink / IRLP but does have multiple receivers around Monroe County
* Call sign is N2MPE, only IDs in morse. No roger beep. Control Op is Tony DiLettera from Radio Center.

=== Interlock Simplex ===
* Frequency: 442.420 (110.9 PL TX/RX)
* Note: this frequency is outside the normal step for 70cm, so you make have to do something funky to get your radio to tune it (like change your step for 70cm to 5Hz)
* Ben will occasionally crossband repeat to/from one of the local repeaters (usually MCARES, see above) on this frequency so that those in the space can take advantage of the higher power transmitter. Please be careful to make sure this is not the case before attempting to use this as a simplex frequency.

Xerox used to be Echolink enabled but is no longer. JD used to run Echolink on it over RF and may allow Interlock to run a similar setup, once we have an antenna. Information is flowing slowly on this though.

None of our official unofficial repeaters support IRLP. Some of the other local repeaters do. If you are interested in IRLP, check out this site for a brief introduction on how to use it: http://k3bay.com/html/irlp.php

== projects ==
=== antenna building ===
We have ordered the parts needed to build [http://home.comcast.net/~buck0/ll_coolj.html 2-meter j-pole antennas]. We will be assembling them next Make Night, Thursday July 8th.
Update: Antenna make night was a success. Thanks to all who attended. Please watch for similar events in the future!

=== [[roof antenna]] ===
We have permission from Maguire to install an antenna on the roof as long as it is free-standing (ie, we don't bolt it to the roof). Also, the feed line can't whip in the wind or whack up against the building (so it needs to be secured somehow -- conduit?).

Roof antenna

2010-10-31T04:00:27Z

IGadget: /* Construction */

We would like to install a 2M/400 antenna (and possibly others) on the roof of the Hungerford building, where Interlock is in the basement. We have the go-ahead from the building owners. We are in desperate need of contributions in order to make this project possible! If we are going to do it, we want to do it right. Ideally we will use LMR400 feed-line and build a free-standing tower that is capable of hosting multiple antennas for future expansion

== Bill of Materials ==
* 2m/70cm J-Pole (donated by Alvaro)
* 200ft LMR-400-DB $192.00 (we're not burying it, but DB is waterproof, and given our aggressive freeze-thaw cycles, a must)
* 3 pcs EZ-400-UM Connectors $45 (need 3 in case we screw up the crimping? They're $15 apiece; it'd be a shame to not use one of them though...)

== Things to figure out ==
* What do we use for a tower?
* What do we use to attach the cable to the building? Industrial velcro?
* Would schedule 40 be a good choice for constructing the tower itself?
* Do we need to put a strobe on top? Even if we don't have to, should we?

== Finances ==
* Ben / Bill have each pledged $50
* Steve has pledged $75
* Beardy: $50

Total: $225 of estimated $300

Will Interlock match our contributions, even partially?

WePay link: [https://www.wepay.com/public/view/35059]

K2FX's preferred vendor: [http://www.rfparts.com/]

== Construction ==
* Based on a site survey by Rowan & Steve, we need approximately 160-170 feet of cable. We're going to buy 200 feet to be safe.
* We are planning on mounting the antenna on a pole that would extend approximately 20-30 feet above the highest point of the roof. This is the stair tower where the north-facing elements of the Nextel cell tower are attached. We would be on the opposite side of these antennae.
* The pole would be attached in such a way that <del>one person</del> two people could tip it over for servicing
* Paul K2FX has agreed to come over and terminate our connectors with his special $400 tool. We just need to give him a call when we're ready.

** @Joshpalley: What do you think about wiring some department-store-style speakers into the ceiling? That way we can easily jack into them from a variety of things, including a microphone or projector... --[[User:Fvox13|Fvox13]] 21:44, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
*** @Fvox13: I am against them. Those speakers are best suited for paging (in dept stores, like you said). Using them for anything other than marginal quality voice will sound cheap and unprofessional. I can't give any recommendations until I see the space.. --[[User:Joshshua|Joshshua]] 19:31, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
** @Joshpalley: I'll be glad to help out with A/V, naturally. Might be fun to build a DIY set of speakers as a project that would benefit the space... --[[User:pk|pk]] 00:05, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

Please feel free to claim ownership of any empty spots above, or add yourself to the members list.
We need a decision on power needs sooner rather than later.

''' NOTE''': This page contains information with regard to network/server setup for the final space, not the temporary one. For the temp space, power distribution can be done with extension cords, while network access will be ad-hoc in nature.

=Power=
Overhead cord reels are a solution, but they must not remain plugged in at their source when not in use in order to comply with fire code. Cable trays are not a good solution for power. (They are a pain in the ass.)

=Environmental=
The space will need to have environmental controls in the event that servers will be kept in location. The general operating temperature of servers and network equipment should be around 75F. In order to ensure this, the purchase of an AC system may be necessary depending on what projects we approve.

'''Things we may need to acquire:'''
*<s>Heater</s> <-- Heat is included
*Air Conditioner
*Dehumidifier
*<s>Thermostat/Thermometer</s> <-- Usually bundled with AC

==Recycling==
We don't want to horde a bunch of stuff that will never get used, but things that are likely to get recycled (especially scraps of raw materials) we should hold on to. This not only potentially benefits the environment, it's in our best interest from a costs perspective as well.

=Network=

See [[Phase 0 Networking]]

UPDATES:
* 1/27/10: Despite some difficulties with Frontier that will have to be worked out, the internet and phone lines were installed today. The router is ready to be dropped into place, as soon as we move the rack in. We did get the rack, and it is being stored for us until we are able to move it into #42.

The network infrastructure group will create and maintain the [[network acceptable use policy]]. The policy will be approved by the board of directors and then signed by every member who wants access to any of the following networks.

In order to meet the demands of the group over time, the network will be segregated into 3 main segments:
(in order of priority for setup)
* Production [http://www.interlockroc.org/wiki/index.php?title=Infrastructure#Production >]
* Project [http://www.interlockroc.org/wiki/index.php?title=Infrastructure#Project_.2F_Project >]
* Warzone [http://www.interlockroc.org/wiki/index.php?title=Infrastructure#Warzone >]

Each main segment will have an associated color code for its jacks (as is seen above), both on the walls, as well as near the network equipment. Category 6 cabling would be preferred for the environment. Each wall plate should be 6 feet apart, and should contain at least 1 of each colored jacks. Every jack should had 2 drops associated with it.

--[[User:Antitree|Antitree]] 12:34, 25 January 2010 (UTC) NOTE: Update this so that the warzone is at least [http://wiki.hamburg.ccc.de/index.php/ChaosVPN::IPRanges 10.100.42.0/23]. May want to update all ip schemes

== Internet ==

We have decided on Frontier Business DSL for our internet connection. The contract has been signed.

==Production==
The production network will be the main segment and will provide network access to Interlock's members. This network will be subdivided into 5 separate subnets, to help manage IP growth, and secure vital systems. The production network will not be used to perform penetration testing or other white hat hacking (port scans, IP sweeps, DoS, etc). The production network must have reliable uptime, as that other members will be dependent on it.

=== Change Control ===
The infrastructure group will need to determine a method to log changes to the network. A consensus must be reached within the group before any change can be done on the production network. Change management will ''loosely'' follow [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Change_Management_%28ITSM%29 ITIL Recommendations].

=== Access ===
Access to core network equipment and topology will be restricted to those in the infrastructure group.

=== Services ===
* RADIUS/LDAP Server
** Central Authentication repository
** Should be linked with Google Apps

* Web Server
** Host the wiki, website, etc

* CoLo Boxes
** Not intended to host production/high bandwidth websites
** Used for offsite backup

* DHCP Server
** IP addresses will only be given out to know and trusted network adapters.
** A device registration system, like RIT's start.rit.edu, would be useful

* DNS Server

* File Server
** Access via SFTP, SMB, or WebDAV possibly

* VPN Server
** Provide VPN access to the network. This needs to be decided as to whether this will be implemented, and the scope of the build.

* Streaming Music Server
** Use a AirPort Extreme AP to play music via AirTunes

* Image Server
** RIS or Ghost

==Project==
* 172.25.x.y
** Each project should claim an address space (ie 172.25.15.y) so we can tell what traffic is coming from which projects
* Temporary, dynamic, but more static and stable than the warzone
* Change management much more loose than production network but there should be some expectation of reliability so please at least check with someone unless you're very sure of what you're doing
* Access to the internet
* Area to play with an test new technologies (for example, play with VOIP/SIP)

==Warzone==
* 172.30.x.y
* No expectation of reliability
* Relatively open access to equipment / no change management
* No expectation of structure, very dynamic depending on project use etc, may use different IP address schemes
* Expect to have equipment probed / pen tested
* ChaosVPN endpoint/node (link to other hackerspaces)
* "Rogue" access points allowed (maybe include DHCP message that states you'd better be sure you want to connect to this network - want to be friendly with our neighbors)

=Audio-Visual System=

'''Audio'''
*[http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/541197-REG/Bogen_Communications_S810T725PG8W_Ceiling_Speaker_Assembly_with.html Public Address] system array across the ceiling
*Two speakers rigged to the top corners of the room
*Surround sound rigged to the top of the room (low priority)
*Inputs to an audio mixer/home receiver
*Sources: Microphone, CD/DVD, computers

'''Video'''
*Ceiling mounted projection
*Screen
*Sources: DVD, computers

IGadget: /* General Comments */ network

==General Comments==
* The door will be somewhere on one of the thin walls, so furniture cannot be placed against all of them.--[[User:MadScientist|MadScientist]] 14:31, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
* Are we really going to have a TV and an area dedicated to such? Could the TV instead be a white screen and the currently non-existent interlock projector? Then it could be dual use for meetings and presentations etc (admittedly, a TV could be used for presentations). If we did this, I'd like to see the big meeting/working table also oriented to look in on the screen and the loungey area (option b does this). Then people can work and keep track of the lounging or meeting or whatever. --[[User:Berticus|Berticus]] 01:48, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
** I used a TV icon because it was easier to differentiate from a long rectangle representing a screen. I actually envisioned it as having a projector there. As for couches, people have mentioned comfortable space to just relax and watch a movie, so I've tried in many cases to keep the couches and main meeting table together so that they can both use the projector. --[[User:MadScientist|MadScientist]] 19:06, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
* I'd like to see one big long table, capable of seating at least ten people working. I'd rather work at a table with other people, facing them, instead of having my back to the room all the time (I do like the tables along the wall as well, but I'm thinking mainly for meetings and classes, a larger table we can all gather around would be ideal) --[[User:Berticus|Berticus]] 01:48, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
** Good point, I'll take this into consideration as I develop new revisions. I'll re-orient the desks so that they face each other instead. I use desks because steel secretaries desks are easy to acquire, incredibly durable, and offer a lot of storage in the drawers.--[[User:MadScientist|MadScientist]] 19:06, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
** [http://www.nycresistor.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/CRW_6560.jpg This] is what I have in my mind when I'm blabbering about a superbiglong workbench. This is at NYC Resistor. --[[User:Berticus|Berticus]] 13:38, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
** I see what you're getting at. I like the large central table with a few work areas off to the sides that they have. Do you have a preference for something 4'x16' like theirs or 8'x8' as in "option C"?--[[User:MadScientist|MadScientist]] 07:53, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
*** Guess it depends on what fits the space best. I imagine an 8x8 square would have more "wasted" space in the middle, and less perimeter space to seat people (per square foot of floor space).--[[User:Berticus|Berticus]] 15:10, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
* Do we want a real stove/oven? I bet it could be scrounged pretty easily. We'd have to communicate with Felix about this. I was just envisioning a hot plate on the counter myself... depends on if people want to bake or heat more than one or two pots at a time. --[[User:Berticus|Berticus]] 01:48, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
** I think hot plate is where we will be for a while. (Though yes, a stove would be easy to acquire) I added a real stove because it had been mentioned on IRC and would make for a nice addition.--[[User:MadScientist|MadScientist]] 19:06, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
* We should explore building desks or shelves or even just wee standing-height table/elbow-receptacles on the columns. I'm thinking bar/cafe eating-on-the-run standup tables (there's gotta be a better name). It'd be super-easy to run power down the column to the center of any such structures. --[[User:Berticus|Berticus]] 01:48, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
** "Elbow-Recepticals" - Awesome. You're right, this would be quite easy. Let me know what size surface you are thinking of and I'll add it into a revision.--[[User:MadScientist|MadScientist]] 19:06, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
* I share Ashumz's concern that the couch area is pretty disproportionately large. These layouts also don't leave any room for floor-standing equipment. Whoo... too much negativity! Sorry. Obviously things will sort of fill the space organically when we get there, and these are a really good start for general guidance. I quite like option A thus far. If the big table was elongated a bit it'd be pretty perfect. I'm thinking we can come up with some sort of soft wall system for differentiating the storage area... we could string up cables and drape some old truck tarps with our logo vinyl cut and sewed into it. Inside the "kitchen" area is pretty tall (slightly taller ceiling / lower floor, plus less gunky pipes in the way) so we should explore going vertical and maximizing storage up in there. --[[User:Berticus|Berticus]] 01:48, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
** The actual size of the furniture will depend on what we can get...I'll be sure to stretch the icon for the meeting table in the next revision. As for storage, if we're not a bunch of slobs, we don't need a separate room. I suggested the delineation with a line on the floor, that if we pass, means we need to clear out some junk as a way to keep from filling the space with "trash"--[[User:MadScientist|MadScientist]] 19:06, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

* Nothing in the layouts lists anything for network support, servers etc. I would also suggest building the door locations into the space ideas so that we can take all of the non-moveable things into account. In fact nothing telecom is mentioned. I would think ideally the production servers, switches and routers should all be located where the DEMARK is. Do we know where that is yet? [[User:IGadget|IGadget]] 19:55, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
** Once that has been decided we can work out how to most efficiently wire the space as well. If we have the wire, I'd like to put a pair of drops on the poles as well, opposite of the power. [[User:IGadget|IGadget]] 20:05, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

==Comments on A==
* This has very distinctly separate areas for work, relaxing, storage, and fooding.--[[User:MadScientist|MadScientist]] 14:31, 2 January 2010 (UTC
* This one is my personal favorite, but I am hesitant to say we should have such a huge area dedicated to couches. I'd say, to start, we can fit the furniture we have in that back room and use more of the open space to line the walls with workbenches and computer desk type areas. Maybe another large sitting area like in the 'meeting' area (upper left) where the couch area is. We'll have to see how much seating area we can fit in that back room, but I have a hunch what we have right now will fit in there OK for the time being, and we can add comfy stuff as needed (and maybe we could keep that area as close to the back room as possible since thats food'ish area, and we want to keep that area consolidated probably. Maybe a couch right outside that room also?
** I will look at swapping some areas to reduce the size of the lounge space and increase meeting space. I didn't put couches in the back room because I didn't want it to feel secluded. I put the appliances in there because that's where the utilities are currently.--[[User:MadScientist|MadScientist]] 19:06, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

==Comments on B==
* Why does this one have a piano?--[[User:MadScientist|MadScientist]] 14:31, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
* I think we shouldn't "use up" one of the windows illuminating a storage space, especially if that space is to be walled off (visually at least) from the rest of the space. --[[User:Berticus|Berticus]] 01:48, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
** I reiterate that we may not need to wall off the space, but I agree and will keep storage off the window wall.--[[User:MadScientist|MadScientist]] 19:06, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
* The back wall has a pipe that I think would be too low for the lockers you've put there (I *think* those are lockers at least). --[[User:Berticus|Berticus]] 01:48, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

==Comments on C==

** Exactly what I was thinking. 2x4s and two sheets of plywood could make a good bench fast and easy. This design method would also work for the really long bench that Berticus was asking for.--[[User:MadScientist|MadScientist]] 07:50, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

IGadget: /* General Comments */

==General Comments==
* The door will be somewhere on one of the thin walls, so furniture cannot be placed against all of them.--[[User:MadScientist|MadScientist]] 14:31, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
* Are we really going to have a TV and an area dedicated to such? Could the TV instead be a white screen and the currently non-existent interlock projector? Then it could be dual use for meetings and presentations etc (admittedly, a TV could be used for presentations). If we did this, I'd like to see the big meeting/working table also oriented to look in on the screen and the loungey area (option b does this). Then people can work and keep track of the lounging or meeting or whatever. --[[User:Berticus|Berticus]] 01:48, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
** I used a TV icon because it was easier to differentiate from a long rectangle representing a screen. I actually envisioned it as having a projector there. As for couches, people have mentioned comfortable space to just relax and watch a movie, so I've tried in many cases to keep the couches and main meeting table together so that they can both use the projector. --[[User:MadScientist|MadScientist]] 19:06, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
* I'd like to see one big long table, capable of seating at least ten people working. I'd rather work at a table with other people, facing them, instead of having my back to the room all the time (I do like the tables along the wall as well, but I'm thinking mainly for meetings and classes, a larger table we can all gather around would be ideal) --[[User:Berticus|Berticus]] 01:48, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
** Good point, I'll take this into consideration as I develop new revisions. I'll re-orient the desks so that they face each other instead. I use desks because steel secretaries desks are easy to acquire, incredibly durable, and offer a lot of storage in the drawers.--[[User:MadScientist|MadScientist]] 19:06, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
** [http://www.nycresistor.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/CRW_6560.jpg This] is what I have in my mind when I'm blabbering about a superbiglong workbench. This is at NYC Resistor. --[[User:Berticus|Berticus]] 13:38, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
** I see what you're getting at. I like the large central table with a few work areas off to the sides that they have. Do you have a preference for something 4'x16' like theirs or 8'x8' as in "option C"?--[[User:MadScientist|MadScientist]] 07:53, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
*** Guess it depends on what fits the space best. I imagine an 8x8 square would have more "wasted" space in the middle, and less perimeter space to seat people (per square foot of floor space).--[[User:Berticus|Berticus]] 15:10, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
* Do we want a real stove/oven? I bet it could be scrounged pretty easily. We'd have to communicate with Felix about this. I was just envisioning a hot plate on the counter myself... depends on if people want to bake or heat more than one or two pots at a time. --[[User:Berticus|Berticus]] 01:48, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
** I think hot plate is where we will be for a while. (Though yes, a stove would be easy to acquire) I added a real stove because it had been mentioned on IRC and would make for a nice addition.--[[User:MadScientist|MadScientist]] 19:06, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
* We should explore building desks or shelves or even just wee standing-height table/elbow-receptacles on the columns. I'm thinking bar/cafe eating-on-the-run standup tables (there's gotta be a better name). It'd be super-easy to run power down the column to the center of any such structures. --[[User:Berticus|Berticus]] 01:48, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
** "Elbow-Recepticals" - Awesome. You're right, this would be quite easy. Let me know what size surface you are thinking of and I'll add it into a revision.--[[User:MadScientist|MadScientist]] 19:06, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
* I share Ashumz's concern that the couch area is pretty disproportionately large. These layouts also don't leave any room for floor-standing equipment. Whoo... too much negativity! Sorry. Obviously things will sort of fill the space organically when we get there, and these are a really good start for general guidance. I quite like option A thus far. If the big table was elongated a bit it'd be pretty perfect. I'm thinking we can come up with some sort of soft wall system for differentiating the storage area... we could string up cables and drape some old truck tarps with our logo vinyl cut and sewed into it. Inside the "kitchen" area is pretty tall (slightly taller ceiling / lower floor, plus less gunky pipes in the way) so we should explore going vertical and maximizing storage up in there. --[[User:Berticus|Berticus]] 01:48, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
** The actual size of the furniture will depend on what we can get...I'll be sure to stretch the icon for the meeting table in the next revision. As for storage, if we're not a bunch of slobs, we don't need a separate room. I suggested the delineation with a line on the floor, that if we pass, means we need to clear out some junk as a way to keep from filling the space with "trash"--[[User:MadScientist|MadScientist]] 19:06, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

* Nothing in the layouts lists anything for network support, servers etc. I would also suggest building the door locations into the space ideas so that we can take all of the non-moveable things into account. [[User:IGadget|IGadget]] 19:55, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

==Comments on A==
* This has very distinctly separate areas for work, relaxing, storage, and fooding.--[[User:MadScientist|MadScientist]] 14:31, 2 January 2010 (UTC
* This one is my personal favorite, but I am hesitant to say we should have such a huge area dedicated to couches. I'd say, to start, we can fit the furniture we have in that back room and use more of the open space to line the walls with workbenches and computer desk type areas. Maybe another large sitting area like in the 'meeting' area (upper left) where the couch area is. We'll have to see how much seating area we can fit in that back room, but I have a hunch what we have right now will fit in there OK for the time being, and we can add comfy stuff as needed (and maybe we could keep that area as close to the back room as possible since thats food'ish area, and we want to keep that area consolidated probably. Maybe a couch right outside that room also?
** I will look at swapping some areas to reduce the size of the lounge space and increase meeting space. I didn't put couches in the back room because I didn't want it to feel secluded. I put the appliances in there because that's where the utilities are currently.--[[User:MadScientist|MadScientist]] 19:06, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

==Comments on B==
* Why does this one have a piano?--[[User:MadScientist|MadScientist]] 14:31, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
* I think we shouldn't "use up" one of the windows illuminating a storage space, especially if that space is to be walled off (visually at least) from the rest of the space. --[[User:Berticus|Berticus]] 01:48, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
** I reiterate that we may not need to wall off the space, but I agree and will keep storage off the window wall.--[[User:MadScientist|MadScientist]] 19:06, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
* The back wall has a pipe that I think would be too low for the lockers you've put there (I *think* those are lockers at least). --[[User:Berticus|Berticus]] 01:48, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

==Comments on C==
* The big work bench is nice, but the desks end up more scattered.--[[User:MadScientist|MadScientist]] 14:31, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

* Can we actually fit an 8x8 bench down the stairs and through the door? --[[User:Alvarop|Alvarop]] 02:59, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

''' NOTE''': This page contains information with regard to network/server setup for the final space, not the temporary one. For the temp space, power distribution can be done with extension cords, while network access will be ad-hoc in nature.

=Power=
Overhead cord reels are a solution, but they must not remain plugged in at their source when not in use in order to comply with fire code. Cable trays are not a good solution for power. (They are a pain in the ass.)

=Environmental=
The space will need to have environmental controls in the event that servers will be kept in location. The general operating temperature of servers and network equipment should be around 75F. In order to ensure this, the purchase of an AC system may be necessary depending on what projects we approve.

'''Things we may need to acquire:'''
*<s>Heater</s> <-- Heat is included
*Air Conditioner
*Dehumidifier
*<s>Thermostat/Thermometer</s> <-- Usually bundled with AC

==Recycling==
We don't want to horde a bunch of stuff that will never get used, but things that are likely to get recycled (especially scraps of raw materials) we should hold on to. This not only potentially benefits the environment, it's in our best interest from a costs perspective as well.

=Network=

The network infrastructure group will create and maintain the [[network acceptable use policy]]. The policy will be approved by the board of directors and then signed by every member who wants access to any of the following networks.

In order to meet the demands of the group over time, the network will be segregated into 3 main segments:
(in order of priority for setup)
* Production [http://www.interlockroc.org/wiki/index.php?title=Infrastructure#Production >]
* Playground / Project [http://www.interlockroc.org/wiki/index.php?title=Infrastructure#Playground_.2F_Project >]
* Warzone [http://www.interlockroc.org/wiki/index.php?title=Infrastructure#Warzone >]

Each main segment will have an associated color code for its jacks (as is seen above), both on the walls, as well as near the network equipment. Category 6 cabling would be preferred for the environment. Each wall plate should be 6 feet apart, and should contain at least 1 of each colored jacks. Every jack should had 2 drops associated with it.

===Other Options===
* We are in discussion with other ISPs, including Cogent, Fibertech, Frontier, AFS, Netsville, Paetec, and TW Telecom. [[Talk:Infrastructure#Internet_Access|Discussion]]

==Production==
The production network will be the main segment and will provide network access to Interlock's members. This network will be subdivided into 5 separate subnets, to help manage IP growth, and secure vital systems. The production network will not be used to perform penetration testing or other white hat hacking (port scans, IP sweeps, DoS, etc). The production network must have reliable uptime, as that other members will be dependent on it.

=== Change Control ===
The infrastructure group will need to determine a method to log changes to the network. A consensus must be reached within the group before any change can be done on the production network. Change management will ''loosely'' follow [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Change_Management_%28ITSM%29 ITIL Recommendations].

=== Access ===
Access to core network equipment and topology will be restricted to those in the infrastructure group.

=== Services ===
* RADIUS/LDAP Server
** Central Authentication repository
** Should be linked with Google Apps

* Web Server
** Host the wiki, website, etc

* CoLo Boxes
** Not intended to host production/high bandwidth websites
** Used for offsite backup

* DHCP Server
** IP addresses will only be given out to know and trusted network adapters.
** A device registration system, like RIT's start.rit.edu, would be useful

* DNS Server

* File Server
** Access via SFTP, SMB, or WebDAV possibly

* VPN Server
** Provide VPN access to the network. This needs to be decided as to whether this will be implemented, and the scope of the build.

* Streaming Music Server
** Use a AirPort Extreme AP to play music via AirTunes

* Image Server
** RIS or Ghost

==Playground / Project==

* No expectation of reliability
* Relatively open access to equipment / no change management
* No expectation of structure, very dynamic depending on project use etc, may use different IP address schemes if it doesn't connect to the other two networks in any way
* Expect to have equipment probed / pen tested
* No internet connectivity? Expect machines to be exploited / infected?

''' NOTE''': This page contains information with regard to network/server setup for the final space, not the temporary one. For the temp space, power distribution can be done with extension cords, while network access will be ad-hoc in nature.

=Power=
Overhead cord reels are a solution, but they must not remain plugged in at their source when not in use in order to comply with fire code. Cable trays are not a good solution for power. (They are a pain in the ass.)

=Environmental=
The space will need to have environmental controls in the event that servers will be kept in location. The general operating temperature of servers and network equipment should be around 75F. In order to ensure this, the purchase of an AC system may be necessary depending on what projects we approve.

'''Things we may need to acquire:'''
*<s>Heater</s> <-- Heat is included
*Air Conditioner
*Dehumidifier
*<s>Thermostat/Thermometer</s> <-- Usually bundled with AC

==Recycling==
We don't want to horde a bunch of stuff that will never get used, but things that are likely to get recycled (especially scraps of raw materials) we should hold on to. This not only potentially benefits the environment, it's in our best interest from a costs perspective as well.

=Network=

The network infrastructure group will create and maintain the [[network acceptable use policy]]. The policy will be approved by the board of directors and then signed by every member who wants access to any of the following networks.

In order to meet the demands of the group over time, the network will be segregated into 3 main segments:
(in order of priority for setup)
* Production [http://www.interlockroc.org/wiki/index.php?title=Infrastructure#Production >]
* Playground / Project [http://www.interlockroc.org/wiki/index.php?title=Infrastructure#Playground_.2F_Project >]
* Warzone [http://www.interlockroc.org/wiki/index.php?title=Infrastructure#Warzone >]

Each main segment will have an associated color code for its jacks (as is seen above), both on the walls, as well as near the network equipment. Category 6 cabling would be preferred for the environment. Each wall plate should be 6 feet apart, and should contain at least 1 of each colored jacks. Every jack should had 2 drops associated with it.

==Network Project==
I would like to take the lead on this. I want to ask at the next meeting what people's needs are for network(s) and bandwidth [I know personally I'd like to play with some high bandwidth VoIP stuff, so the more bandwidth we can afford the better, imo] and see if what we have outlined on the [[Infrastructure]] page meshes with what everyone else was thinking. --[[User:Ben Woodruff|-- BW]] 20:20, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

----

Care to tag-team this? --[[User:Fvox13|Fvox13]] 14:05, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

----

Help is always appreciated, Carl mentioned wanting to help as well. --[[User:Ben Woodruff|-- BW]] 15:04, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

----

Ben, looks like you've got a good handle on this. Nicely detailed proposals. Thanks for stepping up to lead this.

The chief thing that springs to mind with regard to the RFC1918 address space allocations is that consumer level devices, which I think it's safe to say we'll have on hand at one time or another, typically use at least two of those ranges preferentially. Apple Airport base stations tend to use addresses in the 10.0.0.0/8 range, and non-Apple devices often plop themselves down in the 192.168.0.0/16 range.

My suggestion, then, is to use 172.16.0.0/12 range for all of our private networks. That way, if something shows a 192.168.x.y or 10.x.y.z address, we'll know right away that it's coming from something other than our stuff.

In that light, I propose 172.20.x.y for the production network, partitioned further as you suggest (perhaps spacing things out by 10s in the third octet instead of by 1s, to give some room in between), 172.30.x.y for the warzone. The mnemonic I have in mind for this is that .20 is an "even" multiple of 10, even meaning "smooth" and smooth being what one wants from a production environment. In contrast, .30 is an "odd" multiple of 10, odd being exciting, unusual, or even dangerous, depending on one's perspective, but certainly what one would expect from a "warzone". In between these two we'd have 172.25.x.y, which would be the playground--not expected to be at all dangerous, but you must be this tall to enter this ride.

The 10.0.0.0/8 space is pretty big, even if Apple does use part of it. From what I recall and can tell from a quick search, they tend to use 10.0.1.x addresses. I think it might be a good convention to pick some portion of the 10.0.0.0/8 space and then to recommend that people use it for setting up their own independent test networks, eg, if they are building a private network on a single hardware host to use with a collection of virtual machines on that host. If their stuff stays on their own network, no big deal. If they screw up somehow and one of their devices ends up on our network, again, it'll be easy to tell because it is in this distinct 10.0.0.0 region. I think 10.100.0.0 would be easy to remember to use, and well away from Apple's use.

Within 192.168.0.0, I've seen use all over the range. Some devices I've had use 192.168.0.x range. Some 192.168.254.x. The Linksys NSLU2 "slugs" use 192.168.1.77. And those are just the ones I'm familiar with and can recall off the top of my head. So, I think we just leave this for use with those devices.

Anyway, that's my suggestion, based on my experience. You may have experience with devices that tend to default to 172.16.0.0 too, making this a less useful scheme, for instance.

[[User:Deejoe|Deejoe]] 16:07, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

----

Thanks much for the feedback Deejoe. I like your ideas. I don't know of any devices that are using the 172.x.x.x range by default so that all sounds good.

Also, Fvox13, good point about Cat6a. Lets shoot for Cat6 with the expectation that we will probably end up with a bunch of cat5e and limited cat6, which we'll probably want to use for core equipment that doesn't have other interconnects.
--[[User:Ben Woodruff|-- BW]] 00:37, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

----

I was looking at the subnetting layout and thought I'd chip in my two cents, for what it's worth. When addressing core devices (switches, routers, servers, and so on), I've found putting them on the subnet right before the broadcast more design-friendly. It makes writing ACLs much more easier and flexible, along with making adding new equipment to the core layer faster. Any thoughts on this? --[[User:BinaryMan|BinaryMan]]

I have heard of doing that BinaryMan but I wasn't sure what the benefits were. --[[User:Ben Woodruff|-- BW]] 14:37, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

If it is needed, I have both an 8-port and a 4-port KVM. Both are PS2/Serial/Video. The 4 port also has AT keyboard. These are electrical not mechanical switches.

AirPort Express wireless AP (connected to stereo system for streaming music via AirTunes?)

--[[User:Ben Woodruff|Ben Woodruff]] 06:19, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

Production network should have a more robust AP... maybe a Meru or Cisco?

----

I agree, the problem is cost. I didn't see any mentions of a better AP on the donations page, so we may be stuck with what I've got for the time being. We will also probably want to offer guest wireless access at some point, through a different SSID, which will require an additional/different AP (the new Apple equipment can do it, but this one can't)

Does anyone know of a "good" captive portal type system like start.rit.edu or BlueSocket?

--[[User:Ben Woodruff|-- BW]] 14:40, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

----

I can probably setup a freeradius instance pretty easily. Though I will need to learn how to integrate it against openLDAP, since I have usually just set it up against shadow. I'll setup a sample one at home as a VM for now. Any preferences as to what VM container I use? I currently can work with QEMU, VMWare, Xen, KVM and Solaris Zones.
--[[User:Cmd3187|Cmd3187]] 16:16, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

----

I think VMWare is sort of the de facto option. As long as we can eventually convert it in to a VMWare image eventually that'd be cool. But whatever works.
--[[User:Ben Woodruff|-- BW]] 17:51, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
----

On one of the systems it would probably be a good idea to setup SVN linked back into LDAP for group and project code storage.[[User:IGadget|IGadget]] 03:35, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

Another good thing would be a ticket tracking system for users to make requests of whatever IT staff there is. That way there can be a track of who resolved what problem, how and when. I've used and admin'd a RT(http://bestpractical.com/rt/) for that purpose in the past. It integrates with LDAP for the password as well to help with Single sign-on. you can also create local accounts allowing for people who may not have network logins to submit requests.
