The place in general is find. People tend to find it quite easily (it's not so far from the gate, and if I am not mistaken, we've had a map in the Linux-Day site - showing exactly where you have to walk to). > since some people might find it impossible to take their PC for a walk and > search for the event place around the technion while walking up and down > technion's "breathtaking" hills. > > We should try to arrange permission for cars.

I do see it as a problem, but I said that for events such as the Linux-Day, which happen once or twice a year - we can find a solution much in advance. If I am not mistaken - we've never dealt with the cars issue so it will be ordered. I've already raised a few idaes, such as cars registeration in advance. And ofcourse, we will talk with the kabat and/or with whomever needed regarding that, so there won't be any surprises in the entrance. If a person didn't register his details in advance, and didn't call us on the event's day until a hour before he arrives, he won't be allowed to get in (in our case - we won't help him if he surprises us with his car, and we don't know about it in advance and on the day of the event). > > > > CD burning > > burning the CDs on demand was a BAD BAD BAD idea.

The reason for the long timing is that the CDs did not fit the speed of the CDRW (which was at the maximum for a few hours). Bad quality CDs which are given a higher speed than they can bare, tend to make the CD "more difficult" to read and write from/to, which is why it didn't really work at x32 speed... > b.

He should have been assisted with other people, and to get burners from other people too. In addition to that, the stand was placed in a very inconvinient place. The burning should have been done inside the farm, in my opinion (I didn't think about it then, I admit). > c. There was only one cd-burner. > d. Some CD burns didn't came out right. > it's my guess is that some people won't be able to install from the new > CDs they bought. True. That was because we had to get the cheapest CDs, which was not a good idea in the first place. Next time we should consider what we did a year ago, which is getting copied CDs from a copying company, which their purpose is simply to multiply CDs.. this way we got responsibility, and they are ready for the event in advance. > f. it took lots of time !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
