Hi,
I assume that we will have an instaparty (details are later in this
email), so I relate my replies to this "fact" as well. Everywhere I
haven't replied, is totally accetable by me.

Non technical: second lecture - why linux. FOSS, money, ideology issues.
Technical: second lecture - install + network
Should be around 2.5 hours. 1-1.5 hours about installing the distribution
that we chose (please see this "booklet"/lecture
http://vipe.technion.ac.il/~adir/lectures/MandrakeInstLect.pdf for
example), and the rest about net installation - general and specific.
Lectures: 2 X 45/50 min. with 10-15 minute break.
Except for the 2nd lecture, which should be combined from two lectures.
Don't forget that after this lecture, people actually can try to install
the distribution and to use it with the net.
PR: We need slogan. something catchy good and useful.
"Linux - the free choice generation" ?
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).
I'll help with forums, and Technion internals. I'll think about more
later.
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.
I am robbed, but, YES! This is the only (last?) oppurtunity to check if
good PR & Instaparty can come together, and the answer is big yes!
2. Distro - which distro to work with?
If nobody is against - let me do the final decision like last year.
I'll dig my email from last year, giving the exact requests, etc. The more
people who join the effort and say how a specific distribution is good for
a *beginner* user, we will have a better choice. Please seperate in your
mind between a distribution that you love, and between a distribution that
fits to a beginner and a beginner would love to: install, try, have no
hard work. Assume that the person IS technically-challenge (or real-life
non-challenged? :), and simply wants to install everything, as easy as
possible. I'll give a list of up-to-date distros later.
3. People - volunteering to do stuff...
Instaparty stuff? I'll try to dig them. People - please join this mission.
If we're going to have good PR, this will be like a very big bonus to the
event.
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)
Not only I agree, but also a big Yes. Let the designers attract people.
- Lectures making & lecturers - needed: someone to manager this aspect.
I can hold this if needed.
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).
- Sponsoring: I think hamakor can really help with that, especially with
national sponsors (those sponsoring all three clubs). Volunteer to handle
this?
We also need to get "real" sponsors too.
Regards,
Adir.
