Hi again.
After we had a long thread about what to show, and what has hebrew
support,
I think we have to first decide on various technical matters.
We have to decide on the following:
1. Time.
According to slshdot the time is friday july 23rd.
But- according the the demo-day project site it will be september.
I think september is a better time since we will have more time to
prepare.
(and may actually hack up some hebrew stuff to show)
2. Location
We need to find a place.
We need a place with many people passing by,
and we need power supply (maybe a phone line for dialup net connection).
I think the installfest in dizengof center enjoyed both of these,
so dizengof center (or another big mall) is a good choice.
3. Sponser
We need to find sponser to pay for all the stuff.
The demoday HQ has some sponsers: http://www.linuxdemo.org/
I think they may pay for the CDs, and printings, etc.
4. Advertising
How will we advertise it?
Ads in local newspapers? flyers? Banners on israeli sites?
(hyperbanner?)
5. Gifts and merchendise.
What CDs are we going to sell/give? (I think Redhat and Calderas will
fit)
Maybe print a pamphlet with info and URLs of linux related sites?
Stickers?
6. What is the scale of the event?
how many computers will we need to demonstrate on?
how many screens/keyboards/mice for installation?
How many CDs should be burn? (if we plan to have many we can do it in a
factory, instead of manualy).
How many flyers/pamphlets should we print?
I think we should make it a big happening.
As many installations, demonstrations, tutorials, cd-giveaways, as we
can.
These issues should be solved as soon as possible,
and we can worry later about what to demonstrate, install, and how.
btw - I think we need a catchy name, maybe "linuxathon (your system will
keep on runinng)"?
Cheers,
Yoni.
