Invitation / Call For Help Debian Booth at SANE2006 Free Software Bazaar Delft, The Netherlands, TUDelft Aula Congress Centre Wednesday, May 17th 2006, 18:30 - 22:00 (local time = CEST) 25+ projects/communities represented; free entrance, free parking!
Hi all, Debian has been offered a booth at the Free Software Bazaar, which is part of the week-long System Administration and Network Engineering Conference (SANE), 2006 edition, in Delft, The Netherlands. So, we need.. YOU! to staff the booth, and.. YOU! to visit us. It's only a single evening, so you don't even need to take a day off. And it's free; also travel expenses of booth staff will be reimbursed. Debian developers AND users in the Netherlands and Belgium: please contact me if you are willing to help -- but also if you can _not_ be present. Otherwise I might just fail to resist the temptation and start pestering you personally ;-) Further things we need: * Equipment on which to show off our splendid distribution. Anything will do. The weirder, the better. Apart from your own things: - For anyone with some free time: there is a HP 9000 system offered for showing at the Bazaar, to be collected in Eindhoven. May or may not run, should have a Woody install, needs serial console (or minicom). - And to accompany the above: a nice original VGB11 serial terminal, to be collected in Papendrecht. Contact me if you're interested in playing around with these things. * Posters and flyers. Currently I don't have any available. * A WiFi to wired gateway. There will be 802.11b/g, but I'm still wired-only... * We have a video projector ("beamer"), but nothing special to show. We need either a dedicated system/laptop, or some (long) VGA cables (projector has VGA pass-through). [Or, in case someone happens to have a nice presentation in MPEG or DivX, I can hook up my DVD player.] * Ideas on _what_ to show on the equipment that you bring. Of course there's the "interesting" stuff like Firefox and OOo, but past experience has shown that "fun" stuff gives a much livelier booth. So, what (graphical!) games are playable with arrow keys only, have a learning curve <2sec and play time 1-5min, run on modest hardware, and are fun to show off?
