Tech Updates:
Over the break we will be updating the rest of the Ubuntu Linux netbooks with the latest version of Ubermix. Also we'll be doing a Wireless Survey. This will help us deploy additional WiFi Access Points in the best locations, with less guessing. This will help evolve our WiFi network from a maximum coverage with the least amount of AP's to a high density/maximum availability WiFi network. Certain areas will get an additional AP over the break, due to poor coverage. Particularly the basement at Lee HSMS.
