Hello all, I'm a student of the Ramrao Adik Institute of Technology[RAIT] located in the DY Patil University Campus at Nerul in Navi Mumbai.I intend to hold a demonstration and installfest of Ubuntu on 27th and 28th respectively.
Demonstration: On 27th,I plan to set up 4-5 machines with Ubuntu 8.04[LTS] installed with eye candy and requisite non-free codecs and to attract people with compiz effects [as bait to get them looking at the machines] and natural curiosity.Allow them to play with the machines and explain to them the various replacements for applications they use on Windows.Planning to spout philosophy for the really curious. :) Explain the features vis-a-vis Windows,career possibilities and use of GNU/Linux in universities and companies abroad.I plan organize an install fest next day for those interested who will sign up in a registration book of sorts. Installfest: I have 28 odd Ubuntu 8.04 32 bit CDs.I plan to install for those who bring their boxes and hand them a CD.If people can't bring their machines,ask them to check out the installation procedure,and hand out CDs. If I run out of CDs(which would be known by the number of people who sign up for the installfest the previous day),I ask them to bring their flash stick and create a bootable image on them,provided their boxes have USB boot capabilities.Also planning to keep a CD Writer handy. Where I need help in this plan is to arrange for the machines for the first day.Ideally,I plan to have a range of specifications from low power to highly powered rigs. I also need experienced people to lend their expertise in framing how to speak to people who drop in to check out the machines on the first day and points to be covered while speaking.And,last but not least,I need to be pointed out holes in the plan,and help with patching them.
