This is OT, but is adelie still doing Gentoo stuff? I haven't heard |
14 |
much since LWE 2 years ago.. |

I think that is where the take-home documentation is crucial. We can |
23 |
give specifics about our distribution (what makes it unique) that the |
24 |
person may not catch on the floor, or may not have time to talk to the |
25 |
devs about. If this has to take up more than one page, then that's |
26 |
fine (a front/back page might do it). We've got a couple of people in |
27 |
our publications office who might be willing to help out with a flashy |
28 |
design too. (they did the side banners for our LWE-SF display, we can |
29 |
reuse those this year as well) |

Cool. Yeah, I think what we had over a year ago now is too outdated |
40 |
even if we found it, so why not start from scratch on this? |
41 |
|
42 |
FYI, here is a link to the slideshow that we had running on a pedestal |
43 |
at SF. We asked for content from all of the sub-projects, only hardened |
44 |
responded, so that's why there are a couple of slides that focus on that |
45 |
project. (content by me, design by blackace) |
