Cool stuff!

For reference here are the blog for the tech-crew at the worlds second 
largest LAN-party, The Gathering:
http://technical.gathering.org/

A few highlights:
* Over 12,000 Gigabit ports, 500 * 10Gigabit ports, 50 * 40Gigabit ports 
(not all utilized of course).
* Gigabit to all participants.
* Dual-stack public IPv4 and IPv6 to all participants.
* 30Gbit internet connection (upgradeable if needed).
* Zero-touch provisioning of all edge switches.

Most of the NMS and provisioning systems are made in-house and are 
available on github (https://github.com/tech-server/) and all 
configuration files are released to the public after each event on 
ftp://ftp.gathering.org (seems to be down at the moment).
