From michael.kallas at web.de Thu Oct 19 21:48:06 2006 From: michael.kallas at web.de (Michael Kallas) Date: Thu Oct 19 21:48:40 2006 Subject: [GNU]LinuxWorld Expo & Conference 2006 News #1 Message-ID: <4537D676.1080300@web.de> Hello everybody, GLWE will be happening in the not-so-far future. We'll have a booth in the ".org Pavillion". There exists a more or less actual plan of the hall [1], but the .org pavilion is not fixed yet. As of now, five people will be representing FSFE: Reinhard M?ller, team Austria - Wednesday until Thursday Rainer Kersten, office Germany - the whole show Bernhard Reiter, team Germany - doesn't know yet when he will be there G?ven Bay, volunteer - the whole show myself, volunteer - the whole show So, the goal of having always at least two people at the booth should be reachable. If your plans vary from the above, please drop me a line so I can update the (to-be-made) schedule. The whole pavilion will share an ADSL wire, so we'll have network but don't expect too much. Is anybody able to bring a small hub/switch? The same question for a representative PC (no Reiner, not that one...;) Please stay tuned for further news when I know about anything of interest.

What is on the TODO list? Message-ID: <1377542536@web.de> Hello to all, As one of the exhibitors at the FSF booth and because I couldn't find any information about the booth at the fsfeurope.org site I want to ask some questions here: *) What have you planned for the booth? **) What are you going to show the people? As I see from the last mailing from Markus at the booth we will have PCs or Laptops. **) What are going to show with these computers? I for one would load Debian GNU/Hurd on these. And if even there would be a big monitor so visitors could see Hurd in action from far away, this will be "big show". As I see from the mailing from Markus to the FSF German list we will also have some flyers, informational papers and so on. **) Are these already written, drawn, layouted, printed etc.? ***) May I look at these info papers/flyers, please? Also in one of the mailing there was speak of T-shirts. **) In which "planning stage" are these T-shirts? **) Every booth have some posters which are pinned to the walls of the booth(I hope you understand what I mean). In which "planning stage" are these posters? *) Is it possible to make a web-page (nothing fancy) to show the "planning stage" of the booth? I am ready to help you with this. best regards Gueven Bay _____________________________________________________________________ Der WEB.DE SmartSurfer hilft bis zu 70% Ihrer Onlinekosten zu sparen! http://smartsurfer.web.de/?mc=100071&distributionid=000000000066 From michael.kallas at web.de Mon Oct 23 21:21:04 2006 From: michael.kallas at web.de (Michael Kallas) Date: Mon Oct 23 21:20:30 2006 Subject: LWE2006 Cologne: What are the plans?

Should I work some visualisation of Free Software out? Would this be okay with all the other responsibles of the booth? I could write a plan about which broad sectors Free Software is in use already and how we can show the sectors with installations of the Software at the booth. Then we can discuss the plan here after which I can go on to the actual installation of the software on the HW which we will have on the booth. But then I need some more Info: Which HW will we have there? Can I (can we) install any free software on it(would this be okay with the owners of each HW on the booth)? Should I plan to install and configure the HW at the booth (the day of the booth building) or can I plan to access the HW before the building of the booth? Unfortunately I don't get - even with this mail - any info. :-( And more unfortunately: No one is discussing here. > > I for one would load Debian GNU/Hurd on these.

Yes, it has many buggy sides but I ask if it is the time for "shyness" or do we want to show how far Hurd is (one of THE GNU projects)?

The main purpose of such a booth is to inform visitors, to explain Free Software and answer special questions to them. Some of visitors are new to Free Software, but some of them know the basics and come to ask special licensing questions, etc. > **) What are you going to show the people? - The Fellowship Crypto card incl. Smartcard reader and its functionality. > As I see from the last mailing from Markus at the booth we will have > PCs or Laptops. > **) What are going to show with these computers? At least one computer is useful to show the mentioned Crypto card, the FSFE and Fellowship web pages. Furthermore, it is useful to show several answers to questions of the visitors. In the past, it was often easier, to show them where they can find what directly on the screen. > I for one would load Debian GNU/Hurd on these.

We had GNU/Hurd on at least one System at GNU/LinuxtTag 2003 and 2004 if I remember correctly. IMHO, it depends on the event and the expected visitors if it makes sense to present GNU/Hurd or not. I'm not completely sure, but to my experience from the past I would say a GNU/Linux system is enough for an event like GNU/LWE. > As I see from the mailing from Markus to the FSF German list we will also > have some flyers, informational papers and so on. > **) Are these already written, drawn, layouted, printed etc.? > ***) May I look at these info papers/flyers, please? As far as I know, the new planed flyers are not printed or designed, yet. I think Rainer knows this, best. @Rainer, could you give some more informations, here?

A detail plan of the .org pavilion is now available. I have linked that and the actual plan of the whole hall at [1]. Also be careful that there are works ongoing in Cologne local traffic. It's not possible to get from main station (Hbf) to Deutz/Messe (where the fair will take place) by tram but only via S-Bahn. Best is to plan your arrival at Deutz/Messe directly. Detailed infos at [2].
