I did a hack a thon a few months back in Palo Alto a few blocks down from PAIX. I used 6 of the Xirrius high density access points. About a 1000 attendees scattered over about 1/2 city block. 6 access points was overkill. Doing the same for a film festival here in a couple of weeks as well. -mike Sent from my iPhone On Sep 13, 2012, at 7:38, Jeroen Massar <jeroen@unfix.org> wrote:

If not, do any of the people who've already done have 5 minutes to chime in on what they did and what they learned?
You might want to go through the network presentations given for IETF, NANOG/ARIN and last but definitely not least: CCC congress + camps.
eg: http://events.ccc.de/camp/2007/Fahrplan/events/2043.en.html
Typically though it requires people who have done it before with proper equipment to get a network up and running properly ;)
