Figure out what to do about cases + power supplies for extra Opsis boards #21

Closed mithro closed 7 years ago

mithro commented 7 years ago

Currently https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1uc_QICAHcZtQpQxt8bpTy2hKk7BN11h375hLQG0wcoA/edit#gid=441420403 says we need 17 opsis boards.

I think we have ~10 with cases + power supplies....

xfxf commented 7 years ago

@mithro we have 10 in cases, 2 extra cases, and that's it. Can you propose what you want done? Buying cases + PSU's from a local computer retailer in Hobart isn't going to be cheap... would you be OK running the extra Opsis's without a case?

xfxf commented 7 years ago

PSU's we might be OK with, I have extras and there's a bunch of LCA PSU's. I'll check now...

xfxf commented 7 years ago

I can count 14 of them right now around the place + in bags, there's 4x Netgear switches we're not using with compatible power supplies, I'm probably missing a few too (there are LCA ones somewhere, possibly in the van, will check), plus do you have any? We probably have enough PSU's.

mithro commented 7 years ago

I'm too tired to figure out the solution right now but other random thoughts....

I would rather not run Opsis boards in public locations without cases. Probably okay if they are hidden inside podiums.

xfxf commented 7 years ago

I agree, I just don't see us getting hold of small cases in Hobart in the next day.

xfxf commented 7 years ago

I can count 24x USB cables. We need 5x for the Yamaha soundcards, ~17 for the Opsis's, and a few spares. Assuming a few of us also have some spares, think OK here.

mithro commented 7 years ago

I brought redmere cables + usb cables for my Opsis boards - just no power supplies or cases...

xfxf commented 7 years ago

I don't think buying ~6 tiny cases is an option - we have one business day before the conference opens. It'd need to be ordered from interstate.

mithro commented 7 years ago

We might be able to mount them in the cardboard boxes in some way

xfxf commented 7 years ago

Closing - nothing we can action here before deploy time.

mithro commented 7 years ago

This problem still needs to be solved. Closing it doesn't make it go away.

xfxf commented 7 years ago

I disagree with re-opening this; this is self evident during deploy time (there's nothing we can do between now and deploy time), and having many 'in progress' tasks in our Kanban board makes project management / task progress visibility difficult as the noise is too high (we should be making tasks small and actionable, and progressing/closing them as we move through things). But I'll leave it open but in the 'after things are working' column.
