the most recent to-do list:
* setup a private file share between the admin machines
* build a permanent second admin machine from the parts available in the Action Room. maybe the Dell we found on the street will be a good start? also, set this up software wise and move it to the Admin Office.
* get all 4 glossy black tower machines in the Action Room running well. two have firewire and for potential video editing.
* setup a server box for file storage and more
* get 2 or 3 of the Sun boxes setup as basic web browsing machines
* setup a box to go next to in the café sound area for audio/video recording, streaming (ustream.tv or similar) and playback, karaoke and more.
from details of the above can be found here, there or in other BB threads.
