F10 Media for Open Source Bridge

[John Poelstra]

Closing the loop on...

There is no official exhibit hall or booth space so it is unclear what 
role Fedora can play beyond conference attedance.

There was discussion on one of the conference lists about requesting 
some media (75 CDs) for the Hacker Lounge: 
http://opensourcebridge.org/2009/03/open-source-conference-prerequisite-1-sp... 
as someone was ordering OpenSUSE media and thinking it would be nice to 
have install media for the other distros.

I wanted to post here to make sure Matt or Larry were not already 
coordinating something.  The event starts on June 17, 2009, so need to 
figure this out soon.

Thanks,
John

John,

We (Larry and I) were trying to figure out the situation for OSB, we have
not heard from them at all.
We have both emailed them and gotten nothing at all, not even a quick reply
to say there would be no exhibit hall.

If you just want to have some media to hand out for this, by all means do
so.

Since there is no exhibit hall, and my funds are very tight right now, I
most likely will not be attending OSB, and will be looking forward to
LinuxCon in September for Portland area.

I don't know when F11 media will be ready, but it'll be cutting it close
since OSB is on 6/17. I do, however, have a sizeable number of F10 disks
available if need be.

Interestingly, I've been getting some answers to questions that both Matt,
in Portland, and I (not in Portland) have asked for a couple of months
regarding exhibiting -- some answers, not all. As there doesn't seem to be
an exhibit space per se, then I think we can perhaps look forward to
LinuxCon.

So Matt, stand by and if we need to get media to the Hacker Lounge (and if
we can get you in), then we may still need your help.

I think it's possible we'll have media.  I'm waiting for the drop of
the RC so I can make masters for the duplication company.  They stated
10 days (business days) from the day they get the disks to me having
them in hand.  If need be, we could send some 2-day air or something,
which would get there in time.  All we can hope for is that everything
works out perfectly, and if it does, you could have the media.

Cheers,

Clint

I think Fedora 10 would be fine.  I'm not convinced there is a big ROI 
on turning ourselves inside out to get media there or how many people 
will actually go to the hacker lounge.

I'm sorry that communication with OSB has not been good.  I've had my 
own share of frustrations trying to volunteer and help directly which 
has been disappointing.
