Do we have a binder or any notes from previous booths?
Thats a good question for Jack. He's been doing them all so far.
Having some systems in the booth is good, having them DO SOMETHING
is
even better. Since we're not going to have any FUDCon talks, I
thought
doing some mini presentations in the booth using the systems might
be a
good way to draw some people over and show them what it really is.
Yes, yes, definitely. A small series of presentations, one every two hours?, with a posted schedule.
We'll have to see how many presentations we have before designing a (rotating?) schedule. System setup time is a factor as well.
I'll put some thought into what would make a good SELinux demonstration. We can do some fun stuff locally, then show how well a strict policy works by letting people try stuff as root on Russell Coker's FC play machine.
Ah, sounds good. I wonder if RH will be doing SELinux presentations in their booth space as well, might not want to compete.
I also think we should have a good diversity of arches represented,
an
Intel box, an AMD box (dual cores anybody?), I'll have my Apple
laptop
but maybe a mac mini would be cool for the table.
Wonder if there are any IHVs who will contribute some hardware for this.
In the past, Pogo Linux provided system(s) for the booth. They have access to typical Intel/AMD (even dual core) systems, but probably not an apple. I still have a fairly good relationship with them even though I no longer work there and I can act as the liason for getting hardware. We just have to determine what we want to have.
Perhaps Greg can find out who Red Hat is sending that might be able to pull some presentation duty.
I'll add my meager few thoughts to that page.
Thanks!
