[AusNOG] NEXTDC Vending Machines

Mon Apr 14 13:14:58 EST 2014

Dear everyone,

Just an update on the NEXTDC vending machines on behalf of the company.

The vending machine project has had a number of challenges, it's certainly
a great idea and one we've been pushing to finalise. We apologise for any
inconvenience it may have caused.

Status of the machines in each facility.
B1 & P1 machines are installed. The credit card readers are being replaced
this week.
M1, S1 & C1 machines will arrive on site this week.

In the meantime our security concierge hold stock and can assist with
providing parts 24/7.

Everyone has been so passionate about the vending machines and we
appreciate the feedback.  We will be sending out a list of the parts that
are already on site and posting that on our blog this week. We welcome
your suggestions on what items we should carry, so please send us your
ideas.

Regards,

Adam
