Do you know what time it is? It's "Welcome to Linux" time! Well, we're getting closer to "Welcome to Linux". Here are my thoughts on the matter as a pre-planning thing:
1. We'd better schedule a cross-club co-ordination meeting or two to talk about it face-to-face. Eddie, can you reserve Schreiber 007 or 006 for this sometimes soon? 2. We'd better see what lectures each club want to give. Speaking on behalf of myself (representing Telux), I believe the previous year's Telux format was a good one, and I'd like to repeat it again this year. As opposed to last year, I hope the clubs will consolidate the efforts of updating the material. So for example, I don't want to see the old "Linux for the Technion student" presentation used instead of the newer http://www.shlomifish.org/lecture/W2L/Development/ . If a certain club has problems with any presentation just shout and we'll try to prepare a format that will be suitable for everybody. 3. The BIUX site has some serious issues, such as: * Horizontal scrollbar on http://www.cs.biu.ac.il/biux/where.html and elsewhere. * The front page contains a picture of a Haredi Tux family that may invoke some antagonism. * The first link in the text links is not the home page. * The site code ( http://www.cs.biu.ac.il/biux/about.html ) just directs to the Haifux' code which is different. Plus, the URL reads "about.html". * No links to the other clubs and to other Israeli sites on http://www.cs.biu.ac.il/biux/links.html * The tables' columns are ordered visually instead of logically. These need to be fixed. I can fix them, if I'll be give the site's source code. 4. The site is http://welcome.linux.org.il/ and needs to be updated once the schedule is final. Some people suggested that we use Joomla or a different CMS instead of the web-meta-language-generated pages that we have now. However, there is already a lot of logic implemented in WML from the previous years, and if we switch to a CMS, we'll lose a lot of it. 5. What we need from Hamakor? Just thinking out loud: * CDs. * Stickers. * Postcards. * Other stuff - ? 6. Linux Day - in Telux last year we decided to forego the Instaparty because we figured out it was no longer a popular event or a necessary one. The sky did not fall. I recommend other clubs to do the same. An concentrated Linuxday with some activities like presentations, etc. could be a good idea, though. 7. Preparing for the presentations - the club's contact at the university should make sure that he's ready before the time, has his cell-phone on, etc. All the material should be locally installed on the presentor's laptop, so presentor's should prepare archive of what they prepared.
