LinuxTag preparations
by Dag Wieers 28 May '07

28 May '07

Hi, Yesterday I've picked up the gear from Frederik (LCD + system) and realised that we used Fabian's IBM system for the 3D stuff. According to Frederik the video card in his small system does not have 3D capabilities ! Not sure if we can solve this. Anyone has a small system they can bring ? Furthermore, I have been looking for flyer-holders and business-card holders and after doing 6 stores found one that actually had something that could be used. It's vaguely what I had in mind. I bought three of these and 2 business card holders for the total amount of 56 Euros. I'd still like to buy the holders I have in mind (eg. that can hold more than 1 flyer) but this is good enough for LinuxTag. The business cards worked out fine. Since I was in a time-rush I could discuss the layout publically (I made them at 2h at night so that they could be printed the very next day. I hope people like them and I'm interested to hear from everyone how to improve them for next event. I printed 250 in full color for 19 Euros. The design I used is here: http://dag.wieers.com/attic/centos/business-card-centos.pdf Kind regards, -- dag wieers, dag(a)wieers.com, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [all I want is a warm bed and a kind word and unlimited power]

My absence at Linuxtag
by Gideon de Kok 28 May '07

28 May '07

Hi all, I've had some problems with the combination of my scholarship, LinuxTAG and my educational institute. This has the consequence that I can't get to LinuxTAG this year, my apologies for this rather late announcement but there were some possible positive developments at the end of the week (which didn't have the outcome I hoped for)... Well, have a lot of fun at LinuxTAG (without me ;-) ) -- Gideon de Kok | http://gideon.nyarna.com Libre software enthusiast | http://www.centos.org

Social event tickets
by Dag Wieers 27 May '07

27 May '07

Hi all, I ordered 9 tickets for the social event. Because of overbookings for the cheaper (15 Euro) tickets the organisation didn't validate all pre-orders. But our project got all of the 9 tickets we asked for ! If for some reason we need more tickets for our booth, I would propose to buy more 25 Euro tickets and take the average so everybody can enjoy some reduction.

Does anyone have any progress information on the posters? I suppose that we go for the "alternative track" as proposed in the meeting notes (ask Lance to print posters)? -- Daniel

You can find the details in Infomail #5 [1]. We recieved already now more pre-orders than we have tickets. After the deadline we will inform you about how many tickets we have reserved for your project. If the amount does not fulfill your needs, you should buy as soon as possible some tickets using the online shop [2]. There was also some confusion when the tickets will be available. These tickets will be only available during setup on Monday (May 28th) and Tuesday (May 29th). Cheers!

New batch of shirts of LinuxTag
by Dag Wieers 22 May '07

22 May '07

Hi all, It may be possible (still) to order a new batch of quality shirts with the CentOS logo and your name. This is intended for the people at the LinuxTag booth, but if you want one as well, that's still possible. Example, see: http://wiki.centos.org/Events/Fosdem2007 These shirts are *NOT* for free !! And I need an answer ASAP (before this evening 17h) otherwise you'll have to use a nameless one. >From the following people Gideon De Kok (exchange the nameless one you got with a named one) Daniel De Kok (exchange the nameless one you got with a named one) Tim Verhoeven Christoph Maser I need to know: 1. Are you interested to buy one with your name on (nameless ones you can use) 2. What size do you require ? (L, XL, XXL, XXXL) 3. If you like your name on the shirt, what name do you want ? If other people want one, you need to pay extra for shipping unless you come and pick it up at LinuxTag. The exact price for shipping is unknown yet (in fact, we don't know if we can do this in time, but we'll try). Ordering one is committing to pay one (especially if it has your name on it :) Thanks for letting me know ASAP ! -- dag wieers, dag(a)wieers.com, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [all I want is a warm bed and a kind word and unlimited power]
