by Gareth J. Greenaway 07 Dec '10

07 Dec '10

Greetings, My name is Gareth J. Greenaway and I am the Community Relations chair for the Southern California Linux Expo. Our show is taking place on February 25th - 27th, 2011 at the Hilton LAX in Los Angeles, California. Because Arch is an open source project we are prepared to offer a complementary booth on our show floor which includes all the usual amenities such as electricity, one ethernet drop, one 6' table, chairs and of course complementary passes to the show. I am also including a link to our Call for Papers in case anyone is interested in submitting a presentation for consideration. https://www.socallinuxexpo.org/simple_cfp/ If this sounds like something the Arch community is interested in, please let me know as soon as possible as the exhibitor space will be filling up soon. Any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Thanks! Gareth -- Gareth J. Greenaway <g(a)socallinuxexpo.org> Voice - 877-831-2569 x130 Southern California Linux Expo http://www.socallinuxexpo.org

[arch-events] Talk proposal: Can we build a simple, cross-distribution installation framework?
by Dieter Plaetinck 06 Dec '10

Hi Wouter and friends, I'm interested in giving the following session: "Can we build a simple, cross-distribution installation framework?" Although I will think about the format further, it will probably be mostly about these two things: On one hand to explain the philosophy and implementation of the Arch Linux installation framework, and most importantly: lessons learned from it. on the other hand I want to initiate a discussion on how multiple distributions can work together maintaining an installation framework and whether it would be feasible to do so. In my experience, many issues and features are distribution-independent. Specific distributions could be supported with plugins or feature branches. Dieter

distro miniconf at fosdem has a lot of open slots still. they are looking for more talks. See below Begin forwarded message: Date: Thu, 2 Dec 2010 16:56:27 +0100 From: Wouter Verhelst <wouter(a)debian.org> To: Dominique Dumont <domi.dumont(a)free.fr> Cc: dist2011(a)lists.fosdem.org Subject: Re: [Dist2011] Talks! For the benefit of others, I'd like to stress, though, that we really really need many more talks. There's just under a month left now, and what with christmas and similar attractions this month, I doubt that we'll be able to find many people if time runs out. If I sound desperate, it might be because I'm starting to be desperate :-) -- The biometric identification system at the gates of the CIA headquarters works because there's a guard with a large gun making sure no one is trying to fool the system. http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2009/01/biometrics.html _______________________________________________ Dist2011 mailing list Dist2011(a)lists.fosdem.org http://lists.fosdem.org/mailman/listinfo/dist2011
