Hi everybody,
As part of today's meeting we had the following series in mind:
Two tracks: Technical and non-technical.
First lecture: Joint lecture, the blitz lecture. Many dazzling demo's.
technically no slides, but mostly presentations. The list of things to
present TBD later.
Non technical: second lecture - why linux. FOSS, money, ideology issues.
Technical: second lecture - install + network
third lecture - basic admin + hebrew (+ little shell)
fourth lecture - How to move on - RTFM, asking questions,
solving problems, finishing stuff we didn't cover in third lecture.
In a nutshell: the technical people should understand a bit how things
work in Linux. We give mostly demoes, but have an ordered explaination and
"HOWTOs" in the website.
Lectures: 2 X 45/50 min. with 10-15 minute break.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
PR: We need slogan. something catchy good and useful.
Ayelet (EzAton's wife) has volunteered to help with design of posters
again. This time, posters are to have short text (up to 30 words). I guess
we'll add next to these posters, posters with the time tables and some
other data (which can be of much lesser quality, i.e., black-white and
non-color).
Shlomi Atar and Ayelet will design together a website (Shlomi is a
professional designer). Ohad Lotzky will make sure the website is w3c.
Open fronts:
- Posters: text + hanging
- Fliers: do we need them? if so, design+text+distribution
- Websites: banners, links, etc.
- Forums
- papers (especailly e-papers).
- blogs?
I need soliders. People willing to invest time in hanging (inside the
Technion this might be relatively easy, but we still need backups).
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Big issues still open:
1. InstaParty/Linux Day - do we take the effort? On one hand last times
were quite a fiasco. On the other, with enough PR - things may be much
better.
2. Distro - which distro to work with?
3. People - volunteering to do stuff...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Some dates & interfaces:
- New website design, operational on 23/AUG (content to be added later).
takes into consideration the fact that there are other LUGs. (shlomiA +
Ayelet, technical supervision - Ohad)
- Slogan - I need someone that handles the choosing of a slogan. Mainly:
asking for slogans, sorting them out, and finding the good one. First
volunteer, first deals with that.
- Posters & Fliers (if needed) - design + Text finished by 23/SEP.
Needed: someone to handle texts (I believe each LUG would need to add its
own text to the info posters). someone to handle the text on "ad" poster.
- Lectures making & lecturers - needed: someone to manager this aspect.
volunteers for managing this, please send me mail. Times: chosing
manager: 14/AUG. Writing the lectures: Alpha version - 14/SEP, Beta -
1/OCT, final - 15/OCT. Also responsible on manning the lectures (some of
them may need two lecturers, or more precisely - lecturer+ assistant).
- PR: Needed: people willing to put posters, talk with schools etc. I
suggest to divide this into 3 major categories:
* schools - needed a manager that motivates poeple to talk with schools,
etc.
* electronic PR - manager to deal with forums, websites, banners, etc.
* "regular" PR - manager to deal with hanging posters, prinitng, fiers,
etc.
- Sponsoring: I think hamakor can really help with that, especially with
national sponsors (those sponsoring all three clubs). Volunteer to handle
this?
- Finding other LUGs doing this - It'd be nice if Telux and JLC would tell
us soon whetehr they are with us or not. If other LUG wish to joing, it'd
be nice to locate them now.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
comments, flames, etc. - please shout now...
btw, if the nice people of hamakor can reinit the [EMAIL PROTECTED], that would
be nice.
also, it was suggested to try and get w2l.org.il.
