EA doesn't have general purpose wireless in its conference rooms, so I stayed up late last night borrowing wireless access points from family and friends and reconfiguring them for general public access. Still testing, but it is looking like most of the conference rooms that we are using will now have wireless public internet access.
Two notes:
1 - Remember, there won't be a bunch of power outlets, especially in our main meeting room, so use you battery power wisely.
2 - Assuming I can get the wireless to work there won't be any "wired" access. There won't be any public Internet accessing Ethernet jacks. And my IT department will boil me in palm oil (mmmmm.... palm oil) if I let people jack into our internal network. So wireless will be the only way to get out on your laptops.
See you all soon.
