Subject: [linux] Linux Kernel posters are coming soon!
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 Yes, it is a little outdated at the moment, I should update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
