Hi everyone, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I got the confirmation of the availability of a gentoo stand at the |
| 4 |
Fosdem conference (http://www.fosdem.org). Of course I will be there, |
| 5 |
together with Verwilst, and 2 other guys (whose irc nicks I seems to |
| 6 |
have forgotten) that are members of the LugWV. Hallski has expressed his |
| 7 |
interest to attend too. I will bring my portable computer with the most |
| 8 |
up-to-date gentoo installed and another P200 machine that will be setup |
| 9 |
of as an ibiblio mirror. The latter machine will also contain a 12x |
| 10 |
cd-writer to create gentoo build cd's on-demand at the conference. I |
| 11 |
will buy a few Maxell CDR spindles for that purpose. |
| 12 |
The guys from LugWV are also planning to bring a few computers. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
It would be nice to prepare a pre-binary install cd that we could use to |
| 15 |
install gentoo on people's machines without having to wait for the |
| 16 |
entire 'bootstrapping' and 'emerge system' to finish. (Drobbins ????) |
| 17 |
If no 'official' binary cd will be available, I'll just create all |
| 18 |
binary packages for a complete emerge system with no architecture |
| 19 |
optimizations whatshowever during the compilation. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
I've also inquired about the prices and possibilities for colour A3+ |
| 22 |
posters and they will definately be available since the cost is really |
| 23 |
not that considerable. Besides that I'd like to create a number of |
| 24 |
'gentoo trading cards' with the fontheads of the site on it and some |
| 25 |
funny catch phrases. I like this since it's quite original as approach |
| 26 |
and might be funny to hand out. Anyone willing to contribute to this, |
| 27 |
please feel free. We already had an initial discussion about it on IRC |
| 28 |
and I put an edited log of it at http://www.theleaf.be/fosdem.txt |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
The guys from LugWV have also inquired about T-Shirt and are contacting |
| 31 |
Drobbins about it. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
That's it for the moment, please spew out any wild ideas or comments |
| 34 |
about this promotional event ! Anyone willing to also help out at the |
| 35 |
stand, confirm it through this mailinglist. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
Best regards, |
| 38 |
