Also, I would suggest (unlike previous times) to make the Blitz a 2 hour lecture (maybe with a little break in the middle). Lots of info, and two hours are not too much to handle. I second this. I think the power-users so to speak can handle a two-hours lecture. One hour is not enough. Regards, Shlomi Fish Ez.

They will get two lectures: intro. where someone will stand and show them Linux, and in the end they could buy/get Kazix which will be configured to be similar to the distro installed in the Linux Day. This lecture will be given twice. Another lecture to this track is FOSS philosophy and other similar stuff. This lecture is for them to understand that FOSS is good, and even if they don't switch to Linux, they can enjoy it in their Windows environment. They will be encouraged to arrive to the Linux day where they'll get a machine installed. The advanced track will start with a Blitz lecture (1 hour, just like the introduction) where we show them how powerful Linux can be. Then there is going to be an Installation lecture, which will be given on Wed., so people could buy/get the distro of the LinuxDay and try to install at home (note that these people are considered power users, so we can tell them to re-partition). On the Monday afterwards we will have a QA session (followed with another QA section) which is actually a session of problems and showing them how to identify/even fix the problem in general terms. Next week - Linux Day: 1. Installation 2. Configruation 3. Lectures 4. Presentations? Maybe having few Linux stands so people could play. Afterwards both tracks become one - we shall give them basic admin lecture (gui and command line tools). I suggest also adding a concentrated version of Guy's SiL lectures (groups, permissions, file system, process, etc.) Also it is worth to think about a bash lecture (SiL, by Eli Billauer). Delicate issues: 1. sorting the people to track A or B 2. if we can have demo station during the first lecture - that might be nice. 3. Installation lecture - should be done live. 4. Installation - last time the idea of having the installers meet before seemed good. If we will do this right this time, we can have a better LinuxDay (the gurues will solve problems, not install). I might forgot something, but please comment all, so we could know what we have in hand... Thanks!
