− | The first | + | The first InstallFest of 2007 will be held on February 10th, 2007 from 10am to 3pm at Carnegie Mellon University, Newell Simon Atrium. An installfest is an interactive event where you bring your computer to either show off some neat aspect of Linux, or seek help about getting Linux running on your hardware. |
− | ' | + | = Possible Topic Ideas = |
+ | As with the November 2005 installfest, we'd like to have a theme for this installfest. So, post your ideas here: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Linux so easy Grandma could use it | ||
+ | Find easy ways to get people started. OpenOffice, Picasa or F-Spot etc. First person to mention writing udev rules or needing to write a shell script for something will be smacked. | ||
+ | * Show off your peripherals | ||
+ | Folks could bring in interesting peripherals, DV cameras, Wii remotes, tape changers, etc, and show them working with Linux. | ||
+ | * Games, Games, Games! | ||
+ | A little bit of Lan Gaming, both with open and proprietary games (Doom, RTCW, etc) | ||
+ | * Free/Open replacements for common proprietary software | ||
+ | Rich Burridge of [http://www.sun.com/ sun] has put together [http://blogs.sun.com/richb/resource/freeware-list.html a list of freeware replacements for common proprietary programs]. He's from Sun, so you'll have to forgive him mixing freeware and open source. They do that all the time. | ||
+ | |||
+ | We'll then bounce the ideas on the plan list to get going. | ||
