Details
April 26th in Monroe Louisiana.
We have requested tables 1, 2, and 14 of section C. The floor plan can be viewed [http://www.ares-nela.org/hamfest/Floorplan2008.gif here]. Tables are $10 each plus $10 for power. We have received a [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuAtConferences LoCo Conference Pack] (pack B for non-approved teams) from Canonical. We should also be receiving some materials from System76.
At this point, our plan is to have 2 laptops on each table. One laptop will be showing a presentation, and the other will have either the liveCD up and running, or be booted into a full Ubuntu install.
To Do
- Make a list of supplies we need sample here
- Create/find suitable materials (fliers, cds, etc)
- Find volunteers to staff the booth
- Register for the booth, find out cost and ask about possible discount since we won't be selling anything
- Rehearse presentation
- Find information on HAM specific software
Ideas
- Pre-installed Ubuntu PC Give-Away
- Parts needed:
- Case
- Motherboard
- CPU
- RAM
- HDD
- Optical Drive
- Monitor
- Keyboard and Mouse
- Parts needed:
- CD of OSS Ham software for *nix and/or windows (Don't want to leave people out and it still promotes OSS)
- Would this possibly fit on the normal Ubuntu cd? How much free space is there?
- Considering the ISO's for Ubuntu are right at 700MB not much, and I think it would be best for there to be separate disks, for people that already use other distro's. Yes, we want to promote Ubuntu, but Linux in general as well.
- dzportwood - Have verizon ev-do card, PCMCIA mobile router with wifi (runs smoothwall linux), and 5 port small factor switch, can setup mobile
- internet access, spare cables might be a good idea, 2 laptops with wifi working, and accelerated gfx out of box. (MBP, Dell D630) also have 60 Ubuntu CD's all Gutsy (Desktop 32/64bit, small amount of Server 32/64bit).
