Sep 27 20:48:21 i don't believe anyone has contacted hte globe Sep 27 20:48:27 or any other newspapers Sep 27 20:48:44 We believe some OLPC guys will be joining us Sep 27 20:49:07 And rumor has it Mako is delivering a presentation on ???? Sep 27 20:50:21 if we could get one of the OLPC to make a presentation, that would make the whole installfest more newsworthy for the newspapers Sep 27 20:52:02 no one from OLPC wants to do an OLPC presentation Sep 27 20:53:07 but leftyfb enquired into it Sep 27 20:53:44 who is Mako and what is he delivering a presentation on? Sep 27 20:54:19 Mako: http://mako.cc/ Sep 27 20:54:20 mako is an important linux guy, i think he (used to be?) is an ubuntu developer Sep 27 20:54:25 he wants to speak on Ubuntu Sep 27 20:54:31 he also does stuff for debian Sep 27 20:54:35 goes to MIT methinks Sep 27 20:54:44 ok Sep 27 20:55:22 an interview about the state of linux + info about the installfest could be a neat thing to go in next week's science + technology section Sep 27 20:55:50 gutsy release party at The Globe: http://boston.citysearch.com/profile/4730129/boston_ma/globe_bar_cafe.html Sep 27 20:56:47 haha, not the globe i mentioned earlier, but is that our real decision?
