Yesterday, I was approached by a Ubuntu representative and member of
OpenRheinRuhr e.V. who personally invited me to OpenRheinRuhr
http://openrheinruhr.de/ on 7./8. November.
I don't know if I have the energy to help organize this one, but he was
very eager to have us there and have at least a small lightning talk
about who we are and what we do. What do you think?
Also, Andy was talking highly about Chemnitzer Linuxtage. They will be
in March and I think we will have to decide until November whether we'll
be there. I haven't searched http://chemnitzer.linux-tage.de/ for more
information about it.
It's also on a weekend, they have places to sleep in a gym, so it's
probably possible for me to be there. Andy and me agreed that we will
try to be there with an Arch booth. We should start planning this in
time. I feel more positive about that one, so who is interested?
Hi guys,
just to give some more info about the hardware I intend to bring...
The displays:
- 22" Samsung 226BW, VGA + DVI inputs, 1680x1050, black and shiny
- 19" HannSpree, VGA + DVI inputs, 1440x900, integrated speakers and more adjustable than the Samsung
The PC shouldn't be much different than the one from last year, just smaller.
- 2.2 GHz single-core Sempron, 2 GB RAM, onboard Nvidia chipset graphics, dual Gbit, VGA+DVI output
I didn't try it yet, but our current 185.18.31-1 nvidia driver should support it.
The harddisk (2,5") has 320 GB and can be used as you like, there's nothing on it.
I'll also bring a bunch of network stuff, like cables and a 16-port switch.
If there's anything else coming to your mind that could be needed, just post it here or on the wiki.
Regards,
Jens

Betreff: [FrOSCon-Exhibitors] 2. Infomail

Dear Exhibitors,
the planning of our exhibition area is finally done. On the attached
plan you
can see where your booth will be located. Unfortunately, it's not sure yet,
how many bar tables we can provide, so the correspoonding marks the plan
(the
yellow circles) are still provisional. However, there will be a wall behind
each booth, on which you can fix posters with velcro tape, which you can
get
from us. If you plan to bring a few computers to your booth, please
bring your
own ethernet switches and power strips, too. You can prepare your booth
from 6
p.m. on Friday and 7 a.m. on Saturday.
Please send us the names of the people who will run your booth (if you
don't
have yet), so we can deposit exhibitor tickets for them at our cash desks.
With those exhibitor tickets you get free entrance and free catering at
FrOSCon.
If you've got a booth or a project room free of charge for your open source
project (this does not apply if you have a paid booth, that is e.g. part
of a
sponsoring package), we'd kindly ask you to take care that you do not
display
any information, flyers, logos or other merchandise gifts from companies
who do
not support us through a paid sponsorship.
Those sponsorships provide the funding needed in order to organize the
conference and provide you with free-of-charge rooms, booths, catering and
hopefully a great FrOSCon overall.
If you have any further questions regarding this specific issue or about
sponsoring FrOSCon in general, you can contact us at sponsoren(a)froscon.org.
We are really looking forward to see you at FrOSCon.
Kind regards,
Inga Herber

I received another email from the FrOSCon guys last night. It contained
a PDF which exceeded the list file size limit, so you'll have to wait
until Aaron moderates it.
About presentation machines: It's looking like we're going to get two
tables. So how many presentation machines do we want? What do we want to
show on them?
Last year, we had one experimentation machine where we had a KDE desktop
and could show everyone how pacman worked and so on. On the other
machine, a move with an example installation was running. I am thinking
we could omit the latter and only have one machine there on which we can
install Arch at will and do stuff with it.
Please, give me your ideas. Also I'd like to remind people to fill in
missing information on
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/FrOSCon_09_-_Wer_bringt_was%3F
I just got confirmation for my order of 100 Arch CDs from a local
company (http://www.icoco.de). This will cost the Arch donation pot 260€
which I already received from Aaron.
The CDs should be ready tomorrow or at the beginning of next week and
will be given away for free at FrOSCon. They are created by copying the
squashfs images, initramfs images, kernels and bootloaders from the
official 2009.08 core ISOs to create one ISO for both architectures.
I had to remove the legacy-ide initramfs images so everything would fit
on one disc (had about 5MB too much for a non-overburned image).
Providing virtually nobody will need legacy-ide drivers nowadays, it
doesn't matter (with 2.6.30, all ide devices should be supported by libata).
I will send photos as soon as I get the CDs.
Hi, i have a day off the monday after froscon. So i thought maybe we could hang out a day more, exploring the city or whatever.
anyone interested in this? I haven't figured out where to sleep yet from sunday->monday but I'm not too worried about that yet.

Hi,
I'm preparing shirts for our meeting at FrOSCon. At the moment the shop which will produce the shirt is checking the vector graphics of our logo which I have sent to him.
If he accept it, I will create a shirt and send the preview of it as reply to this mail. If you want a shirt then just reply after you have seen the preview, give me your shirt size and I will bring the shirts to FrOSCon.
To limit the order, this is just for the devs/helpers who will meet at FrOSCon.
The logo will be http://users.archlinux.de/~pierre/arch/Artwork/archlinux-official-vertical-… large at the back of the shirt. Nothing on the front or as an alternative the logo large on the front and nothing on the back. That's because of the print method which isn't able to print small and tiny lines and to keep it relative cheap.
Cheers,
Daniel
