OK, in that case we need to ensure that there is at least 18GiB of free space on the laptops themselves. I don't think we want to be attempting to copy them off to the backup drive during the day.

Yes, laptops are being ordered and being sent directly to venue. They'll send tracking once they've mailed them. I would not assume that there is 72 GiB available as these are loaners and am not sure of their capacity. Personally, I think it's a good idea to have an external drive anyway as IT will nuke contents of laptops once they get them back.

Barring anyone having a RH/Fedora drive to use for this, I will order one with the other supplies.

cool - we will ship to either BOS or the venue.


So, the laptops need to have about 72GiB of free space available to accommodate our needs. (9 hours a day, four days at 2GiB per hour).


Jen - I think you are coordinating the laptops.  Can you confirm this with IT?  If not, lets ensure there is an external drive onsite for copying.  I am guessing we'd have to buy it?


We don't need a formal room for this; Making sure this works can be done in a hotel room. We just need the equipment. 


ok.
