AG DSN

Halloween steht vor der Tür und wir die AG DSN möchten eine alte Tradition wieder aufleben lassen: das Halloween-Kürbisschnitzen. Da ihr aber vielleicht am 31.10. eure eigene Feier veranstaltet, möchten wir euch am 30.10. ab 19 Uhr in unser Büro in die Borsbergstraße 34 einladen. Dort werden Kürbisse und weitere Leckereien bereitstehen. Aus den geschnitzten Kürbissen wird dann gemeinsam Kürbissuppe gemacht. Bringt gerne euer eigenes Schnitzwerkzeug mit. Wenn ihr technische Fragen habt, könnt ihr diese gerne mitbringen. Wir freuen uns auf euch!

Liebe Mitglieder, da wir nun den atemberaubenden Zuwachs von einer Person in unserem Supportteam verzeichnen konnten, können wir nun wieder unsere Öffnungszeiten erweitern.

Das Büro Wundtstraße 5 bleibt unverändert Montags und Donnerstags in geraden Kalenderwochen geöffnet.
Das Büro Hochschulstraße 50 ist nun wieder Montags und Donnerstags geöffnet.
Das Büro Borsbergstraße 34 ist nun jeden Donnerstag geöffnet.
Die Hotline ist weiterhin Montags und Donnerstags verfügbar.

Die vollständigen Details zur Sitzung inklusive der Tagesordnung sind für Mitglieder zugänglich in der Einladung zu finden.

Dear Members, MPSK WiFi client management is now available in your Usersuite. Now you can set up devices that do not support WPA Enterprise such as PS4, PS5, Smat TVs and other IoT devices. This is another step forward in eliminating the need for routers and making the wireless network faster for all users.

Future information: WLAN.

It's now possible to log in devices that don't support WPA2/WPA3 Enterprise via the WiFi called agdsn-mpsk. For this, the device needs to be activated by us. The best way to do this is to send an e-mail with the device's Wi-Fi MAC address to our Support or visit us in our office.

On 2024-12-04 at 7pm the next General Assembly of AG DSN will take place online.

We will vote on a budget for 2025, as well as an amendment to our articles of association, our team regulations and our contribution regulations.

Members of AG DSN can find the full details and agenda in the invitation, but unfortunately only in German.

On 16.10.2024 at 7PM the next general assembly of the AG DSN will take place.

Topic of the meeting is the election of a new executive board.

Full details of the meeting, including the agenda, are available to members in the invitation.

Just like last month, we'll report a few interesting events that happened to us. In case you missed the last post, you can read it here: https://agdsn.de/sipa/news/2024-05-01-april-at-agdsn

On 7th of May, after a meeting of our "Team Network", people sat down to update the software of our old core router. As you hopefully haven't noticed, no problems occured. Thanks to the fact we've migrated our uplink to the new core routers on March 16th, this've been much more relaxed than it would have before.

Some technical details: the old core router consists of three physical devices, united to to a single logical one. Therefore it's name, "Ianus". Each of the three devices is a FlexFabric 5900 from HPE.

The new routers are a group of three Omniswitch 6900-V72 from Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise, they remain seperated logically though.

We didn't only maintain our technical connections but also our social ones. For that purpose we held our "Jahresessen" (annual dinner) on 29th of May. Just like in past years, we've had vivid discussions with people doing research and teaching at TU Dresden, the Studentenwerk, the "Zentrum für Informationsdienste und Hochleistungsrechnen der TU Dresden (ZIH)" as well as with companies we are in contact with, e.g. for procurement of network hardware.

Last but not least, an addendum to last months post: as we received reports about issues with the WLAN coverage, we've installed one more wireless access point manufactured by Aruba in five levels of the International Guest House on the 24th of April.

And that's the end of this months post! You're in the mood organising our next Jahresessen or other events? Join our Team Festivities! Take a look at https://agdsn.de/sipa/meetingcal for the next meetings. Any questions left? Write an email to du-bist-gefragt@agdsn.de.

What does the AG DSN actually do? Below a few highlights from the past month April.

On April 7th, a few active members met at the NOC, our large office, for Tux sewing. Fabrics were bought the day before. The goal was to manufacture two penguins, a blue and a orange one.

Orange, that's the color of the student network „Selfnet“. On April 13th, it celebrated it's 25th anniversary, five active members of the AG DSN took part. During the event, the orange Tux found a new home.

Last but not least, a bit more technical topic: for internal communication, the AG DSN runs a Mattermost as well as a XMPP server, Prosŏdy. Starting from April 16th, a Coturn joined the Prosŏdy to provide STUN as well as TURN functionality. With these services in place, active members can now initiate audio and video calls via XMPP.

Not mentioned in this post are the numerous unspectecular tasks, being accomplished everyday: answering email tickets, providing support in person, bank imports and many more.
