Does anyone have contacts at NZX (NZ Stock Exchange)?

Karen at Citylink said that they don't have network into the building that Mac's is in (and are unlikely to sponsor th 10k+ needed to get it there). But that they do have network into NZX (Stock exchange) next door, and she thinks they can probably arrange something for us to there. We would need to put in our own backhaul – either cabled or wireless – from there to Mac's. It would be fine to install and and uninstall at the beginning of each day. And we can probably count on good weather in mid-January, so a really long low-inteference cable might even do. But we need access to the building and someone who will collaborate with us there.

As for the website; Dan has updated a bunch of things, and I reviewed it and made some more changes. Please proof-read and review it so that we can announce it as soon as possible; http://wellington2010.drupalsouth.net.nz/.

Post your notes/edits here, or ask me for admin access. There is also a todo list at http://groups.drupal.org/node/26786

I have not pursued more sponsorship yet – I want the website live, public and announced first.

Venue (Brewery Bar) is booked, paid and confirmed. We need to announce it – ideally together with the website.

Not sure where you are at with this, but stumbled across a couple of web pages that may help.

World-leading Broadband Capability
Bus and pedestrians on Lambton Quay

Wellington has arguably one of the world’s best connected central business district’s (CBD) in terms of broadband connectivity. This environment has played a key role in attracting and retaining many creative and innovative businesses.

Wellington’s CBD offers four high-capacity, fibre-optic networks for high-speed data transmission, provided in two competitive business models.

New Zealand’s biggest telecommunications companies, TelstraClear and Telecom, offer a competitive choice using the traditional, vertically integrated service provision model. CityLink and Vector provide an alternate model of ‘open-access networks’. These companies cater particularly to businesses that require symmetrical broadband at speeds of up to 1 Gigabit per second for intra-city connectivity.
