-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi,
Welcome to the LinuxAsia2004 Early-Morning System! Another set of quick updates on what's happening, what you can do, and what's going to happen. - - The stall has been confirmed. We're getting a 3M x 3M space with 3 lights, one table, 2 chairs and one power point. Should do for the time being. Our stall will be next to the FSF stall, so we can have interesting figh^H^H^H^H discussions on whether it's Linux or GNU/Linux whenever the going gets a bit slow ;-) - - T-shirts: due to the vagaries of t-shirt vendors we may not be able to get T's in time for the event after all. Oops! Tarun and LinuxLingam are working their butts off to save the situation, but don't get your hopes up. Tarun is on the verge of being fired from his job, LL on the verge of divorce. Please keep alternative openings/wives ready for them if they actually manage to produce T's in time... if they don't we'll all get together and collectively make fun of them. <g,d&r> - - Kishore and Sirtaj (Kang, of KDE fame) are speaking at the event. - - CD burning and posters seem to be going on track. We'll have a fix by this evening (see next mail). - - Viksit has donned his solar topee, bush shirt and jungle boots and made an expedition into the wilds of India Habitat Centre to seek the source of the Nile and the layout of the Amphitheatre. According to him the Amphitheatre can easily seat some 60+ people, so having a Meet there should not be a problem. His compass wasn't working, so the directions to the Amphitheatre are still a bit vague (``Turn left at the funny-shaped mountain, ford the curving river 2 miles downstream from the crocodiles basking in the sun, LOOK OUT FOR THE CANNIBAL PYGMIES! give the lions on the savannah a wide berth, you'll see a man standing at a gate picking his nose, ask him `Bhai Saab, Amphitheatre kidhar hai?'''). - - Ghane, out of the generosity of his heart and the coffers of his company, has promised us 5 PCs, 3 of them with monitors. One would have at least 512MB RAM, the others would have 128MB each. Should be fine for LTSP and other demos. WHAT WE NEED NOW - ---------------- 1. Power strips and breakout boxes. Please bring as many as you can so that we can seriously overload the single power point that we are getting and bring the whole event to a shuddering halt. Ankur is doing his bit toward this end by providing 3 17" monitors, which will play a stalwart role in increasing the current flowing through the single-point of failure. 2. Ethernet hubs, switches and cables. We'd need at least one 8-port hub/switch and cables to go with it. Got a spare for 3 days? 3. Presence at the pre-event Meet this evening. Please see next mail.
