Is this something we could set up before the summer? How's the Fedora Cloud SIG progress on this front? It'd be nice to be able to (theoretically) solve all our problems in one fell swoop. Fallback: since we'll have all the POSSE attendees on a mailing list at least a month before their session, and plan on sending out pre-session resources anyhow, we'll have the opportunity to give people "howto installfest" resources well ahead of time. I'd rather have something that Just Works, though. I'd like to hear from the other potential-POSSEs-in-progress on what they're thinking for their IT setup - RIT's got a laptop cart that's going to come pre-set-up (which is about as close to the ideal case as you can get), Worcester sounds like it's leaning in the "bring your own" direction - what's the situation at other schools like? --Mel _______________________________________________ tos mailing list tos@teachingopensource.org http://teachingopensource.org/mailman/listinfo/tos
