Hey Laurens,
>- Presentation. Several groups and users can show off new products
>(software
>AND hardware), products in development or special things like a system
>configuration or so. Ofcourse it is useful to prepare a (short) speech.
You're talking about the marathon right now ? Speeching amidst the crowds of
a normal fair is somewhat impossible, but if you prepare some time and
attention, ofcourse we (Sargon) are willing to give a speech... Might be
some drastical changes within the Sargon-team, so we just might have some
news...
>- Music / Drawing competition. Should we give the composers priority access
>to the PCs, so they can rip samples from MOD-CDs or sample new ones etc???
>Who will be the jury??? A few selected ones or all people available?
I think ripping samples isn't needed. As most composers use their own
wavekits that contain every sample they should want to use, I guess MOD-CD's
aren't needed at all. I do think that you should allow every composer to use
his/her own wavekit... About the jury, that's a difficult one. The persons
who would probably fit best for jury sometimes also might be wanting to join
the contest themselves. Though ofcourse I'm not sure of that... By the way,
is it your intention that the music for this contest is composed DURING the
fair or is it also allowed to bring own compositions in advance ? If you ask
me, the first option is more fun for visitors... They can watch people
making music...
>I have no further ideas at the moment. As said: suggestions are welcome.
A game contest might be interesting. Thought you would've made up that one
by yourself, but just in case... Games like Puyo Puyo or F1-Spirit might do,
but it also might be interesting to organise some RPG-contest or so. If you
do so, the point is getting to some particular point in the game or
finishing it in as little time as possible.
>And ps, if you want to present something or have any new products, I'd like
>to know in advance, so we can put it on the MSX Fair homepage, publicize
>it,
>etc... That will probably attract more visitors...
We just might finally be able to release Defender 6, though I can't say that
for sure... We also would like to have some kind of auction, like Fony did
at the Tilburg-fair. Robert and I have some original Japanese MSX-stuff for
sale and Robert said the auction in Tilburg was fun. So we'd like to try
something like that in Bussum.
>Also, if you go to the Marathon: BRING YOUR COMPUTER!!! Without 24 hours
>might become a little long... Anyways, for sure is that it will be a lot
>more fun if you have your MSX with you... There will be plenty of tables
What exactly is the thing you expect from this marathon ? Is everybody just
busy with their own things on MSX or will the visitors be entertained ?
Bye
Rieks (just returned from Japan this sunday)
