*) Access for wirelessless laptops?

There'll definitely be wireless for everyone, but I'll look into this too (it shouldn't be much of a problem.)


*) Whiteboards, markers & erasers.

Lots of whiteboards for taking notes. At least one whiteboard just for projects being worked on, the "grid" at BarCamps is an example.

We'll have at least 5 rooms with whiteboards, in addition to lots of space to set up brownboards. We'll also have a dedicated area for managing and discussing schedule-related stuff and one or two quiet areas for those who need a break.


*) Index cards & pens

Both for taking notes and for anyone wanting to do XP.

Good point. I'll look into this.


*) Real-time comms.

We have #perl-qa on irc.perl.org. It might make sense to have a twitter account for broadcasts and cell phone messaging.

In addition, I'll add my contact info on the main hackathon wiki page (at the bottom), including cell phone number.


*) Caffeine and snacks

"Snacks" covering both the junk food and non-junk food kind. The latter being anything not covered in sugar and salt. :) Worse comes to worse, some sort of trail mix that's not covered in sugar and salt.

There's a coffee machine and a soft-drink box at the venue with free tea and coffe/hot chocolate. Not sure about the softdrinks, but they shouldn't be too expensive.


*) Food plans

A short list of convenient places to order food from. Also easy to get to places that can accommodate all of us. They must deal with varied dietary requirements (veggie, no-dairy?, no-wheat?, kosher? etc...). Have at least pizza and chinese as everyone knows how to deal with that.

There's at least three take-outs within walking distance (Pizza & Chinese, another Pizza place and a tiny Vietnamese place which I order a lot at). All have decent food, but only the Vietnamese one is "cheap".

Also, Linpro will be ordering food for all of us (pizza) on at least one of the days. We'll also have access to the company lunch cantina which they'll keep open especially for us on saturday and sunday.
