[ELECTRON] EC Room kit

[Martin McGrath]

I was in the room yesterday, helping to get it ready for an event running
this afternoon and I ran into a few problems.

The router configuration has changed. The address range it issues has been
changed.
The router login credentials (username/password) have been changed so I
couldn't get on to fix it.
This means that the LaserJet printer isn't accessible, attempts to manually
set the IP address via the archaic interface didn't work.

If anyone knows what the login details are please let me know off list,
it'll save someone the hassle of a factory reset.

The shuttle based PC had been upgraded to Ubuntu 11.04, the new 'Unity' UI
didn't respond at all, has some issues which require workarounds.
I've  switched this back to "Ubuntu Classic", the Gnome desktop, so that the
machine is at least usable.

If you notice problems with the kit or configuration please send a message
to the list so that someone can address problems as they arise.
This will ensure that the equipment in room is usable for people turning up
to make use of the facilities.

On visiting the room yesterday I noticed all the work Kenny has done over
the past couple of weeks sorting things out and tidying up.
The cataloged equipment is stacked up, it's quite socking when you see it
all in one place rather than scattered about the room.

Thanks again Kenny for all your hard work, much appreciated.

Nicky Bolland has the room booked for the next three Friday afternoons. They
will be leaving some kit (arts & crafting stuff I believe) in the room
between these sessions.
Nicky if you could please clearly label your kit and place under the tables
on the right hand side as you enter the room that would be great.

Lastly I noticed that the members list at the CCA reception is quite out of
date, I'll provide them with an updated list today.

Cheers

Martin
