Time for my favorite talk of #39c3, the infrastructure review. It truly shows the scale and effort evolved to put the congress together, from networking, communication, video recoding / streaming, power co-ordination, angels and much more. It demonstrates the saying "it takes a village" to put a community event together.

The power is actively monitored and the team gets alerts if the power goes out. Grafana monitors the stagesmart boxes and can be mapped to the various assemblies as the team knows where everyone is. #39c3
