I'm going to try every week to give an synopsis of what we did and how
many people. I'd like to get more people involved coming to the weekly
clinics and see Linux as a force in Eugene.
It would be great to get some major people involved in Linux to come here
and give a talk. Linus,Stallman, MadDog and all the others out there who
are making Linux a success. And I forgot our very own Bob Miller <kbob>
who's working behind the scenes. :-)
For the last two weeks we've been having around 30 people showing up.
If I can remember right there were 5-6 computers there. I don't know if
everyone's goal were accomplished. I know two of us were getting Debian
install/upgrades. I know I was busy on upgrading my box. I believe it was
John who was working on video problems. The other 2 computers I have no
idea what what going on there were 4-5 people around each.
Mike and Seth got a tower going with a cd-rom burner and they were in the
process of putting Debian to be used as a mirrored server in case the DSL
line goes down.
There was talk about getting some hardware donations from some of the
hardware companies. We could be a test for their products. It's not a
bad Idea. If we had one box set up for Demo's / howto Demo's. This would
be great. This way we could do a clinic every week. I'm sure this would
be great success.
There was also a discussion about a beuwolf cluster. If we had
the hardware this could be excelent to work on. Everyone could learn and
it would look good on a Resume. Set up a Beuwolf cluster. I don't know
how pc's we would need and this would take up space on the desk unless we
decided to put them under the bench.
I think it would be great if we could have some flyers or cards printed to
be put in some of the computer shops. I know a lot of people heard of
linux and this would give them an outlet to go and find their answers.
Plus it would be be good for all of the linux consultants who come to
help on thursday. We get more users at home which then find linux is a
much better OS which then they install it at work.
