I would love to get there too. Not sure if my company will sponsor me again this time, but if I could keep traveling cost to the minimum I'll be able to get there with my own money only. I will need to get a new visa though. :-/ Anyone else would like to join the party? Jan, Thomas, you're living not far, right? ;-) -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)

[arch-events] ArchCon 2010
by Dusty Phillips 03 Nov '09

03 Nov '09

Hey everyone, We started discussing an Arch Linux Canada conference and decided we'd host a general Arch Linux Conference. Yah, it's been discussed before, but never has it been done. Our theory is it'll go better than we expected and we'll do it again someplace else, or it'll totally bomb and we won't try again. ;-) Here's some sketchy news and information. http://www.archlinux.ca/archcon2010/ The only thing decided so far is location (Toronto, Canada), and date (July; ok, so it's not totally decided). If anyone wants to join in on organizing this, discuss on this mailing list, or this thread: http://www.archlinux.ca/bbs/viewtopic.php?pid=172#p172 or on comments at the archcon2010 site above. We're looking for people with experience in Toronto, or with experience organizing conferences, or just interest in helping out to join the discussion and hopefully help us not make many mistakes. If someone wants to do a wordpress theme for the site (I wanted a quick, simple CMS, and wordpress was available as a one-click install), or design a logo for the conference or search through proposals and pick the good ones, let me know.

[arch-events] Upcoming events in Germany
by Thomas Bächler 02 Nov '09

02 Nov '09

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?

Re: [arch-events] FrOSCon - Who brings what?
by Jens Adam 21 Aug '09

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.

[arch-events] [Fwd: [FrOSCon-Exhibitors] 2. Infomail]
by Thomas Bächler 21 Aug '09

21 Aug '09

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [FrOSCon-Exhibitors] 2. Infomail Datum: Sun, 16 Aug 2009 23:59:39 +0200 Von: exhibitors(a)lists.froscon.de Antwort an: aussteller(a)froscon.de Organisation: Froscon-Team An: exhibitors(a)lists.froscon.de 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 The FrOSCon Team

[arch-events] More info + Presentation machines
by Thomas Bächler 17 Aug '09

17 Aug '09

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

[arch-events] Arch Linux CDs for FrOSCon
by Thomas Bächler 17 Aug '09

17 Aug '09

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.
