Pleasant surprises, Bright Futures?

I stand corrected on my assumptions about the hospital. Not only was the power still on, but a grate had been installed to lock the tower roof. I could be a cynic about why the grate was installed and who installed it, but equipment not getting stolen is equipment not getting stolen, so I digress.

The trouble with the link was an unassociated router on the big link STA, which was fixed by the simple calling of "wifi" at the command line. After fixing the link, I spent about an hour teaching two of the hospital IT staff all about the system and giving them login access for all the links vertically from their endpoint up to and including the tower end of the big link. One of the two learned very quickly and was excited to come to the FabLab to do more.

Having users acually excited about understanding FabFi fits nicely into the master plan, which is to create a community of users that rely on each other for IT support of the system. A big question for me at the moment is the community building aspect--what will be the best way to get all of these disparate people to talk to each other? Already we have a FabFi splash page in the works, but that's just a start...
