Saturday 24 August - UCOL Workshop
by Jan Burch 23 Aug '19

23 Aug '19

3pm-5pm this Saturday (yep, tomorrow!) we have another workshop. This time we'll be getting down to the nitty gritty of our body corp rules. Format similar to the last one. Afternoon tea to start, followed by some small group and some whole group discussion about a selection of the topics from the Body Corp that could do with some more work. Those who are free for the evening are highly likely to form a group to head out to a local establishment for a meal at the conclusion of the workshop. We can organise that over afternoon tea. I'm bringing some milk (it's become kind of a tradition that I leave it behind in the Sustainability Centre fridge) and tea, but I'm counting on one or more of our coffee drinkers to ensure we have ability to keep everyone happy. Liz has already volunteered a cake, but I'm sure any other contributions for afternoon tea will be well received. See you soon Jan

Fwd: Alternate data cabling
by Alex King 22 Aug '19

22 Aug '19

For discussion tonight. -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Alternate data cabling Date: Thu, 22 Aug 2019 16:21:00 +1200 From: wayne(a)earthlight.co.nz <wayne(a)earthlight.co.nz> To: alex(a)king.net.nz <alex(a)king.net.nz> Hello Alex Thank you for the opportunity to contribute. The situation summary is:- - A Chorus option for Fibre has been signed - An option also to provide a shared Internet Access is sought - One delivery option may be alongside Chorus fibre - Another delivery option to be explored is WiFi Since meeting onsite the other week I have been doing some more research. I am waiting to hear from my contacts in Chorus to clarify sharing of the 20mm duct which is running in through the concrete slab. In talking with colleagues, and having visited some other new build sites, I believe the build for High Street runs as follows:- Ducting will run 3m out from the buildings. This presents to the hand holds Richard of Aotea was referring to. There is most likely an External Termination Point affixed to the wall. There will be one ETP per dwelling. This is a plastic box, about 10cm X 20cm and 3cm deep. Fibre for each dwelling is drawn from a central point, probably the garage or thereabouts feeds the ground ducting, through the handhold, the ETP and into the dwelling. When I hear back from the right person in Chorus I will be able to confirm this design to you, along with confirmation whether the slab duct can be used out to the ETP. Depending on what you want to do however, this pathway may be of limited value as the ETP will probably be positioned quite low. The group has signed with Chorus for UFB (UltraFast Broadband) service to be provided, and Earthlight can provide UFB service directly to dwellings that require it. Exploring a shared offering for dwellings with lower bandwidth requirements - a lead-in from outside needs to be determined. An example is the 'alongside Chorus' pathway above. As construction is underway, now is the time for any additional lead-ins to be provided. We do not recommend a WiFi solution comprising just outside aerial(s) which then attempt to 'beam' into dwellings for service. Due to the level of build WiFi signal may not reach indoors. We have been exploring a shared service based around 60GHz WiFi technology. This comprises three pieces; a central WiFi node, visible from all dwellings seeking service, an outdoor dwelling WiFi pickup from the central WiFi, and an indoor router/wifi. When we met onsite Tim Ross indicated that a duct for a network cable could be provided for in the ceiling of the dwellings. Naturally there is some cost to this, but this will be offset by carrying it out during construction. A suitable box outside (similar to ETP from Chorus) will encase a network cable which can be built upon later if the dwelling signs up to access a shared service. I have worked out a pricing estimate of $40.00 per month including GST for each dwelling for access to a shared service based around a 60GHz WiFi implementation. We would need at least 5 dwellings to take up the offering. At that level of uptake a one-off establishment fee of $100 + GST per dwelling would be needed. If 10 or more dwellings signed up on day one then the one-off fee would not be charged to these users. Dwellings joining afterwards will be charged an establishment fee. I have set out a summary of what Earthlight can provide. This will come through as a PDF from office(a)earthlight.co.nz If the general outline is of appeal then we will proceed with developing further detail such as mounting options, getting a WiFi node you can see and so on. Naturally if the group has any questions I am happy to field them. Regards, Wayne Wayne Rodgers Manager 0-27-433 3283 We are now operating from our new location at Invermay Data Centre.

Purchase of "Demo Set" appliances for the kitchen joinery team
by sara ferreira 15 Aug '19

15 Aug '19

Hi everyone, as you might know, we have been asked to provide one appliance of each kind to the joinery team so they know how to fit them in our new kitchens.Fortunately we are only needing to provide one of each cooktop, wall built oven or microwave and telescopic range hood. So nothing else is required to be purchased at this stage.I've made a list of each of the appliances that we would need to provide, and already had some people volunteering to purchase some of those appliances. I however need more volunteers, so emailing all of you. Just to be clear, I'm seeking people who have signed up to purchase a type of appliance to purchase their own appliance in advance.Those of us that will be purchasing these types of appliances (cooktop, built in oven, built in microwave, built in rangehood) outside the F&P list will have to provide them to the joinery team. So, I need volunteers for the purchasing of: | F&P telescopic powerpack HS60LXW4 $218 | Alex, Catherine, Warren, Jan, Tim & Pip, Anne & Ian, Susan & Kristin, Sara, Sander & Karen, Claire, James & Jess, Frances & Sandy, Liz, Pauline | | | F&P Built in Oven OB60SC5CEX1 $597 | | Sander & Karen, Alex, Catherine, Warren, Sue, Jan, Liz, Pauline, Rainer & Marianne, | | | | F&P gas cooktop CG604DX1 $720 | Claire, Dennis & Adelyn, Sara | | | F&P electric cooktop CE604CBX2 $448 | Pauline | | | F&P electric cooktop CE604DTB1 $720 | Donald & Miriam, Anne & Ian, Susan & Kristin, Gay | | | F&P Built in Microwave OM25BLCX1 $265 | Sue, Pauline, Dennis & Adelyn | | Could you reply to the UCOL shareholders email address, so I don't get people volunteering for the same thing?I am still to hear from Anne and Anthony at this stage.Kind regards, Sara
