I wouldn't say I'm responsible for the network. I just wanted to make
sure we had some data points around the room that went back through the
trunking.

The cable, faceplates and patch panel that are already in the space are
donations.

We're short on cable to finish the job, and we are also missing the
distribution rack to install the patch panel into. This would be (very
roughly) 100gbp to finish for cabling the main room and getting the
wall-mount rack. Given enough time this would probably appear as a
donation from me, but if someone else is more enthusiastic then they can
go ahead.

The lighting and cabling that I've installed are all donated to the
space, not loaned.

I'm not sure yet if there was more cable appearing. I wasn't able to get
to the space on Tuesday due to injury. I would like to get the last two
data points installed before we start filling the shelves in the main
room, etc. so it's easier to get the cable in the trunking.

I don't think it's that important to get the distribution rack up yet
though.

Thanks,
Iain.
