Revision as of 15:15, 15 July 2013

Current

We are located at:

Vadaring 80 6702 EB Wageningen

See: http://g.co/maps/p5vse

New

Bewaakt & Bewoond ended the agreement per 1-9-2013. This forced us to look for a new space, and we've found it. See the project page for details, status and planning.

Diedenoort

Status

See the project page for moving to Diedenoort

Specs

  • Bigger than our current space
  • 220eu/month rent
  • Lots of power sockets
  • No own entrance, but 24/7 accessible
  • Located here
  • Patch panel in 19" rack on the 2nd floor, all rooms have their own UTP sockets
  • We could put all our servers there
  • No internet connection active, so we need to either move our BIT account of try to get SURFnet access
  • Probably 7 to 10 other tenants (students) that we could supply internet access to, either wired or with our large collection of PoE access points
  • We can start renting it "soon" (read: starting August)
  • Unclear for how long we can rent it, but probably for quite a while as the 2nd phase of Mouterijnoort hasn't even begun yet. The Diedenoort building is on the lot for the 3rd phase.
  • No smoking inside, but shelter on the courtyard for smokers

Questions and answers

Q: Can we use other spaces temporarily (for events (lectures, workshops, presentations))?
A: Yes, within reasonable limits: make sure we don't bother other tenants, don't ruin the building, don't cause trouble etc. And always in consultation with Interim

Q: Can we rent other spaces permanently if we can afford it?
A: Yes, this can be negotiated with the account manager.

Q: Do's and don'ts of the building
A: None really, just use common sense and obey the law.

Q: Noise (regarding other tenants, neighbours)
A: Shouldn't be a problem within reasonable limits. It's a former school building, and has all the characteristics one would expect.

Q: Lockable? (regarding valuable equipment)
A: Yes. We can get keys to the front door and the 2 doors leading to the space. Also, we can get locks fitted on the space doors with a knob on the inside so we can hook up mechanics (space lock).

Q: Lockable server room on 2nd floor? (regarding servers not being tampered with)
A: Yes

Q: AirCo in the server room?
A: Yes!

Q: How many people are allowed for a second viewing? And when? (soon!)
A: Not an issue anymore.

Q: Power included in rent?
A: Yes, within reason. If we start to use too much we'll have to pay up or cut back. It is preferred if we let Interim know in advance if we expect to exceed regular usage.

Q: How many groups are on the countless wall sockets? How many amps per group?
A: Plenty. There's a huge fusebox in the room.

Q: Available power in server room?
A: Yep, plenty.

Q: Cooking? BBQ? Deepfryer?
A: Ping cuisine shouldn't be a problem. Deepfrying and BBQ outside.

Q: Can we paint walls, drill in the wall etc, modifications to the space?
A: Yes, within reason: it needs to be fixable/repairable with ease. Any permanent modifications can be negotiated with Interim.

Q: Can we copy the key(s)? Can we play with the locks for automation?
A: Yes.

Q: Room for tenants available? (read: buZz)
A: Possibly, though not for whole families.

Q: Heating / cooling / ventilation?
A: All taken care of. There's some kind of sensor outside that makes sure the building's temperature stays fine.

Q: Is there a Fiber cable to the building, could we recycle it?
A: There is fiber, but it might only lead to other server rooms inside the building. Also, there might be a KPN-owned fiber inside. This needs to be looked into, as it might be more interesting than the ADSL we get sponsored from BIT.

Q: Water connection / bathrooms?
A: All present and working. Hot water not checked.

Q: Garbage collection?
A: Big container outside.

Bonus answers

A: We're very wanted to hook up an internet connection for the other tenants ASAP.

A: We can start the contract on any day.

A: Exit notification term is 28 days, and can be any day. In our current space the contract can end on the 1st or 15th of the month.

SURFNet Requirements

Spoke to Jasper Distelbroek(?) at SURFnet: Would need to be affiliated with some element at Wageningen University - the Diedenoort facility is likely connected by a 'branch' to SURFnet through the university facilities.

Before anything could be organised, because SURFnet is picky about NWO-funded facilities, would need to mail jasper@surfnet.nl with:

  • A description of the organisation using SURFnet (Website?)
  • Who to contact about Financial+Organisational matters
  • How many people are involved
  • Goals and aims of the organisation
  • Any connections with any NWO-funded organisations

In order to get things organised before mid-August, he informed me it's probably a good idea to go via WUR.

Disadvantages

  • No guarantees on how long we can stay: 28 day cancellation term is all we know.
  • Some tricky points in the "bruikleen overeenkomst" to be addressed in a chat with the account manager
  • We'd have to clean the toilets ourselves
  • No hot water spotted yet
  • Lots of research to be done regarding wiring for LAN/internet
