To Do

  • upgrade notebook to 7.04
  • upload pgp key
  • sign CoC
  • lots of other stuff

Ideas

Folding@Home

Ask To get folding@Home made into a deb.

  • To increase the use of folding@home by adding it to the repository and making it easier for less technical to install and contribute to the Folding@home project, also look at a gui to start and stop the service. [:../FoldingAtHome:current installation instructions]

Ubuntu Stall

Get a ubuntu stall at the computer markets [http://www.computermarkets.com/]

  • Costs
    • $70 amount charged to vendors for a stall at Computer markets
    • CD's will need CD's to hand out (money for blanks or for shipit)
    • Promotional material
  • Needs
    • Volunteers
    • Demo Computer Something that shows off Ubuntu
    • Computer to do new net installs
    • Monitors keyboards and mice (for doing fresh installs on towers)
  • Promotional Material
    • List of local LUGs
    • How to get help (Wiki, Irc , Screencasts, forums and lugs)
    • Hardware Recommendations (Maybe just a Hardware blacklist *cough* SIS)
    • Information for other vendors on why they should ship new systems with ubuntu
  • Todo
    • Email Computer markets and see if we can get discounted rates
    • Propose the idea to the [:../AustralianTeam: Australian Ubuntu Team ]

I can't take full credit for this idea and i doubt I'm the first to think about it. Keith Suggested we put up posters to promote our Lug at the computer markets and the idea move from there. While the Computer Market moves around the state, I would like the first place we try this to be Newcastle.

Wishlist: Internet access, Ubuntu Employee.
