Re: [Ubuntu-ch] OpenExpo Bern 2009 and Jaunty Jackalope Release Party planning
Hi Myriam, I've asked my wife is she could manage to be in town on the 2nd and take my son to school in the morning, so I could get an early train to Bern and be there for most of the day (leave in time to pick him up) to help with the booth. I'll let you know what she says (she is travelling these two weeks, so we talk sporadically). take care, Randy --- Randy Earl randy.e...@gmail.com +41 79 776 9414 On Wednesday 14 January 2009 20:15:50 Myriam Schweingruber wrote: > Hi all, > > Happy New Year everybody! > > Let's hope everybody has refueled their batteries as there is a lot of > work waiting for us this year again :) > > 1.

When (re)installing please read this (http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Category:W500) before starting as it saves some trouble with the gfx-card. If you do this ub8.10 works like a charm. And another tip: If you have the cash to spare, get a (Intel-)SSD for this. No more waiting for apps to start. Ever!

I would love to, but I think we should first of all be very realistic: organising two parties on the same day with the same people can't work. Also there is double work for the locations, posters, fliers, sponsors, etc. Unless we are sure to have enough people who can give a hand and find confirmed locations soon it's a no go for me. I rememer how it went last time... > Hope you all had a happy new year and a good rest! Yes, I did, only my good old laptop has a broken HD and I have to work with a live CD and external disks since a week or so, but my new Lenovo W500 is due any day now so I'm already in the starting blocks, waiting impatiently with CDs and backups in both hands to get this pretty new toy to work :) Greets Myriam -- Protect your freedom and join the Fellowship of FSFE for 2009: http://www.fsfeurope.org/2009 Please don't send me proprietary file formats, use ISO standard ODF instead (ISO/IEC 26300) -- Ubuntu-ch mailing list Ubuntu-ch@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-ch

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi all! Cool to see already some items up on the schedule! Seems like every year the planning starts earlier (thanks to you, Myriam)! I will try to attend OpenExpo this time (I missed the last one), however as you all know I'm having a tough time with the German language. I am working on that however. So if you feel an English / French speaking Ubuntero can be of some help, I'll pre-book the date (need to make sure work+school scedules don't conflict). Regarding the release party, I'm also full of good will and am more than willing to lend a hand :) Straight to the hot topic: should we schedule two release parties this year as well? One in the German-speaking part and one in the French-speaking one? :) Hope you all had a happy new year and a good rest! - - Trib' Myriam Schweingruber wrote: > Hi all, > > Happy New Year everybody! > > Let's hope everybody has refueled their batteries as there is a lot of > work waiting for us this year again :) > > 1.

[Ubuntu-ch] OpenExpo Bern 2009 and Jaunty Jackalope Release Party planning
Hi all, Happy New Year everybody! Let's hope everybody has refueled their batteries as there is a lot of work waiting for us this year again :) 1. OpenExpo I registered a booth for the OpenExpo fair in Bern. It will be held on 1. + 2. April 2009 in the BEA expo halls and I would love to have some company at the booth during these two days. I set up a page for this event: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SwissTeam/OpenExpo/Bern09, so please join the party and tell me ASAP if you will be amongst the booth people. FYI, Canonical Marketing Director Andrew Rodaway will be at OpenExpo with a talk, so it's also a great occasion to get in touch with people from the firm behind Ubuntu :) If you still hesitate, the catering during this fair is well worth a trip to Bern on these dates :) 2. Jaunty Jackalope Release Party The next K/X/Ubuntu release 9.04, codename Jaunty Jackalope, is planned for release on 23. April 2009. So of course there is another party to throw! Please, all interested, join us on IRC on * Monday, 26. January 2009, in #ubuntu-ch on IRC* I already set up a wiki page for the planning, please have a look and make your suggestions. Please be realistic in your propositions and for those with a lot of ideas: keep in mind that ideas are always welcome, but we would also have people who realise these ideas, and this is hardly possible with volunteers. We need suggestions for: * Dates: 2-3 weeks after release has proven to be a good choice * Location(s): everybody who comes up with a location suggestion is asked to kindly provide some additional work in further organisation, i.e. if you want to suggest a party in one particular place, make sure you are able to attend and help with the organisation too, else it's simply a loss of time, as we simply can't be everywhere at the same time, and those great, enthusiastic, but unfortunately also very few people who have been organising parties till now know what we are talking about... * Posters: I will ask our artist from last time if she could provide us again with a great poster and flyer design, but these posters and flyers have to be printed and spread, so volunteers will be needed for that. * Sponsors: if you have an idea about companies we could ask, hot connections in FOSS companies or work in such a marvelous place, step forward and help us with getting "some monnies" needed for catering, printing, location, etc. We do not need much, but these three points are essential. Of course they will have their place set on the posters and flyers and of course the wiki page of the party. * Manpower: the more we are the merrier! This also means less work for the individuals as we can share tasks and of course we can have even more fun :) Looking forward to see you on Monday 26th!
