This past weekend can probably be considered the start of real work for us. I met with more staff from #euskalencounter and we spend some days at the storage place for our gear.

Our main goal was to reinstall the server stack. Up until now we were using Gentoo, and we have decided to migrate to Fedora. These servers spend most of the time offline between Euskal editions, and the effort of upgrading Gentoo after months was too high (for those familiar with Gentoo, think of almost every update becoming a walk down the "upgrading a very old system" path). Nothing guarantees that we won't run with a similar problem with Fedora, but I expect our journey to be a bit smoother.

The other important part: we have upgraded the networking layer on ours server cabinet, adding two Dell SP4810 sfp+ and qsfp+ switches. Thanks to this we have been able to multiply our network capacity on the server stack for the event, which will allow us to implement some improvements related to video streaming.

Overall a very fun weekend on which we also planned a lot of stuff for this year's edition :) Looking forward to it!
