LinuxTag day One
by Didi 25 Jun '09

25 Jun '09

The guys [3] at LinuxTag want to share some of the stuff they have been doing today. After setting up the booth [1] we started the usual socializing by doing this, we met Brian Schueler again who created a PowerPC 32 version of CentOS and even a ARMv5. This is quite impressive and we all gathered around to see a little demonstration. Further we talked to the usual suspects from Fedora and Red Hat which was represented quite strongly this year. Nothing special about the booth [2] this time we have an iMac on display on which we are showing some information about CentOS. Then we went on dismantling a thinkpad to see how it looked on the inside and some members of the team visited some talks. We are now off to the pub for some food and German Beer. Cheers [3] [1] http://picasaweb.google.com/ribalba/LinuxTag09#5350925153100143234 [2] http://picasaweb.google.com/ribalba/LinuxTag09#5350925123075083122 [3] Chris, Chris, Dag, Didi, Tim ---- My www page: www.ribalba.de Email / Jabber: ribalba(a)gmail.com Skype : ribalba

[FrOSCon 2009] Our booth
by Andreas Rogge 19 Jun '09

19 Jun '09

Hello Everybody, the booth was confirmed. Regards, Andreas Original message with details follows: -- SNIP -- Hello Exhibitors, although the planning of the exhibition area of the FrOSCon isn't finished yet we are happy to tell you, that you will get a booth on the FrOSCon 2009. Unfortunately we can't promise you yet, how big it will be, but every project will get at least one table, two chairs and hopefully a moveable wall for posters etc. However it's quite likely that you will get a booth that fits your needs in the end, because we have plenty space this year. We will contact you with more information when the planning of our exhibition area is done. Kind regards FrOSCon Orga -- SNIP -- -- Solvention Egermannstr. 6-8 53359 Rheinbach Tel: +49 2226 158179-0 Fax: +49 2226 158179-9 http://www.solvention.de mailto:info@solvention.de

LinuxTag 2009
by Dag Wieers 18 Jun '09

18 Jun '09

Hi, So finally, the bullet is through the church, as we vividly say in Dutch (I have no clue where the expression comes from, honestly). It means a decision has been made. Tim and I will drive to Berlin on Tuesday evening, and we will return on Friday afternoon. Because we will arrive late and leave early it makes little sense to bring my screen and other equipment that would otherwise travel back with me on Friday. So we have to make sure that there is sufficient to display on the booth. I'll bring all equipment with me on Tuesday as I am uncertain if I can meet with Didi on Saturday (we are going to a concert that day in Werchter :-/) We may want to prepare something to show on the equipment we have for display in advance. And this event I want to collect all material from the past on a single wiki. That is our main goal this time. Is everyone with me ? :-D Equipment: - flyers - stickers - posters - wireless access point - power cables - wii stuff :-) I will not bring my laptops (broken screens) or my TFT screen. All the other stuff can travel back with Geerd-Dietger. Stuff missing on Wiki: - design of stickers, posters, flyer - presentations used on kiosk - information/pictures of previous events - article about how great LinuxTag was for the Newsletter :-) Feel the vibe... -- -- dag wieers, dag(a)wieers.com, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [Any errors in spelling, tact or fact are transmission errors]

17 Jun '09

Hello Everybody, afaict everybody who submitted a talk should have been noticed last week wether or not the talk was accepted. I'll need to know who will do a talk, because speakers have to be handled differently. Didi: was your talk accepted? Tosh: was the talk you added to the wiki accepted?

Frédéric tends to >be the official Fedora ambassador in belgium (i didn't know that there >was another one ..) who organizes such events ... Disclosure: I'm one of the Brucon organizers. My take on the request. I didn't want anyone, including the sponsors to start with booths. This was going to be a non-commercial event unlike infosecurity.be. This is why I'm not in favor of any booths. But I'm in favor of 'hacking' communities. Toool.nl and various hackerspaces.org will be present like Randomdata, HSB, Syn²cat and /tmp/lab. They get some 'space' to promote their community. So some presence in the hacklounge. A small desk where they can show some of the stuff they hack together. Some of them will give workshops. Our prices range from 50€ (students) to 180€ which is about the price of a combo-ticket to Rock Werchter. Consider us a "tech" festival but with comfy chairs and wifi to sit in. The concept is a little bit Defcon/CCCongress style but with our own little twist. The event is shaped by the volunteers and since it's the first edition, a lot has still to be defined. If you have any comments or suggestions, drop me a message. _________________ My profile: http://www.linkedin.com/in/bketelslegers My blog: http://blog.security4all.be/ Belgian Security Blognetwork: http://feeds.feedburner.com/BelgianSecurityBlognetwork PGP Key http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x4CF01C40

Hi, I've been approached by one of the makers of RadioTux <http://radiotux.de/>. They are doing live coverage from LinuxTag again and would like to interview someone from CentOS during LinuxTag. Depending on who wants to get interviewed: The interviews are normally done in German, but there would be a slot on Friday at 17:00 hours to do an interview in English if Dag or Tim or some other non-German speaker want to do that interview. If anyone of you is interested to get interviewed, please drop me a notice - I'll get you and the radiotux guys together then. Ralph

IMPORTANT: Issue with Linuxtag 2009
by Ralph Angenendt 03 Jun '09

03 Jun '09

[Deutsche Version am Ende des Artikels] Cheers, due to clashing issues here at work I will not be able to make it to Linuxtag 2009, as I won't be able to get free time during that week. That at the moment leaves us with Didi and Chris Geldenhuis, which isn't enough to man a booth during 4 days. Is anyone else interested to come to man the booth there? Otherwise we might have to call it off for this year. [German version] Dank konkurrierender Probleme hier bei der Arbeit wird es mir nicht möglich sein, am Linuxtag 2009 teilzunehmen, da ich zu der Zeit nicht frei bekommen werde. Damit bleibt es momentan bei Didi und Chris Geldenhuis, zwei Personen reichen allerdings nicht aus, um einen Stand 4 Tage lang zu leiten. Sonst noch wer, der Interesse hat, dort mitzumachen? Falls nicht, muss ich eventuell den Stand absagen. Cheers, Ralph

It is run by the community to collect interesting bits from the wiki, mailinglist, forums, SIGs and other sources, and put them into the spotlight. More information about the newsletter and how you can contribute is available from: http://wiki.centos.org/Newsletter Happy reading ! -- -- dag wieers, dag(a)wieers.com, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [Any errors in spelling, tact or fact are transmission errors]
