To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The time has finally come to submit the first order of kernel posters! To get an idea of what the posters look like, check out [1]some examples in the OSLUG gallery or check out the one hanging in the Penguin's Nest (Dearborn 401). Posters will be available in two sizes: 3×4ft and 6×8ft (4 3×4 pieces that the buyer is responsible for piecing together). Please note that the small text identifying file names and functions is not readable in the 3×4ft version, but is sometimes readable in the 6×8ft version. Prices are not set in stone and may change slightly, but currently the plan is: 3×4: $20.00 6×8: $58.00 The profits go to the Oregon State Linux Users Group to help with future events we do. Once the posters have been printed they will be be available from me (Michael Marineau) during the Hacking Socials and the next Installfest if they are done in time. If you are interested in buying a poster, please send an email with your name with the size and number of posters you want to kernelposters at lug.oregonstate.edu. If you cannot come and pick up your posters in person (i.e. if you don't live near Corvallis) please note that in the email so we can make the necessary arrangements. A bit of background on the posters themselves: The code that generates the posters was originally developed by Rusty Russell in the early days of the 2.4 kernel. Maintenance of the code was later taken over by Christian Reiniger. Then about two summers ago I updated the code to work with the 2.6 kernel. The 2.4.0 kernel posters that were sold for some time though ThinkGeek are the best known, and some of you probably still have one :-D These new posters are of the 2.6.11.8 kernel (aka Woozy Beaver) which is the kernel that Greg KH released during on of our own OSLUG [2]meetings last year. Also, a webified version of the poster is available on the [3]lug website. Yes, it is a little outdated at the moment, I should update that to 2.6.15 some time. :-P References 1. http://lug.oregonstate.edu/gallery/kernel-poster-examples 2. http://lug.oregonstate.edu/gallery/kernel-release 3. http://lug.oregonstate.edu/projects/kernelmap/ _______________________________________________ linux mailing list http://lug.oregonstate.edu/ http://lists.oregonstate.edu/mailman/listinfo/linux ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Bob Miller K<bob> [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ EUGLUG mailing list [email protected] http://www.euglug.org/mailman/listinfo/euglug
