- Each station has a theme?
- Main screen demos in the lab, with a projector.
- Food is important
- Show stuff that's new and cool. Show off the release.
- For prep, watch and learn from the Windows 7 release party video. Very informative. :D
Demos
5-15 minutes on tools, toys and gadgets. Shorter the better. Focus on general desktop user, and things a hacker can use to make cool stuff. Introductory developer demos welcome.
- Wubi
- Compiz (Ooh, pretty)
- Pulse Audio
- Ubuntu One
- gPodder for podcasts
- version control with git
- Bazaar + Launchpad
- Rails zero to website in 5 minutes
- Writing a quick python GTK app
- GnuCash
- The Gimp
- Blender
- Tomboy Notes
- Running Windows in VirtualBox
- Command line fu
- Ubuntu on netbooks - UNR
- Gnome Shell
- ...
Talks
Again, the shorter the better...
- What's new in 9.10?
- Contributing to Ubuntu (and upstream and OSS in general)
- Ubuntu Canada LoCo
Install fest
- need volunteers.
- Is anyone interested?
Swag
- System76
- T-shirt screening?
- Stickers?
- Buttons?
Food
- Pizza/pop
-
Coffee/tea(unless someone wants to volunteer to deal with it). - Cake!
- Going to order a sheet cake from Sobeys.
- Covering costs:
- Pass the hat/request donations?
- Charge for food ($2/slice, etc.)
- Need plates, cutlery, etc.
Money
If we collect money for food, any profit should be either put into the Kwartzlab Project Fund (which I probably just created) and/or donated to the Ubuntu project (or Debian.
Local Repo
Eric arranged for a repo mirror. Will figure out how to set it up so that people can use it for upgrades (hopefully without messing with apt/sources.list).
Notes
- It's Open Source Week!
- Put out an announcement at the KWLUG, and there's quite a bit of interest there.
- Have posters. Will start posting. Posting help appreciated.
