archs at InstallFest?

[der.hans]

moin, moin,

are we willing to put in resources for non-x86 ( upon prior request )
installs at the installfest? I'd think we should at least offer PPC. It'd be
awesome if someone showed up with and s390, but I doubt that'll happen :).

Also, are we willing to work with *BSD?

I figure we do Linux on x86 in general without registering.

For any other architecture/OS combo we can either explicitly offer it the
same as Linux on x86, offer it only upon request if we can be certain
someone will be there to help with that combo or not make an offer to help.

The latter doesn't mean we won't try if we feel like it the day of the
installfest.

We can:

* not mention OS/proc combos at all
* explicitly limit which OS/proc combos we can handle and whether or not
people need to pre-request help
* explicitly say which OS/proc combos we don't want to handle

Those organizing the project get final say, but volunteering to help with a
specific combo might make them feel more comfortable saying we can handle
it.

Also OS/proc combos could be dist/proc combos, e.g. Mandrake or Yellow Dog
on PPC, but not debian on PPC.

We can also explicitly say which *BSD and not have to cover them all.

Are we willing to help with network/interoperability issues? e.g. if they
bring down a Linux box and an m$ box are we willing to help them get samba
working?

ciao,
