A couple of comments:<br>
<br>
from the HOWTO:<br>
_____________________________<br>
Roles:<br>
<br>
People involved in an installfest will assume one or more
of the<br>
following roles<br>
<br>
coordinator<br>
<br>
contact for all other participants --> TODD<br>
host<br>
<br>
has the connection to the location -->TODD<br>
receptionist<br>
<br>
*<br>
<br>
greets people as they come in, gives them a name tag and
has them<br>
sign a waiver<br>
*<br>
<br>
can direct people to the restrooms, the nearest computer
store<br>
*<br>
<br>
orders food and beverages<br>
<br>
tier 1 support<br>
<br>
people who are knowledgeable about Linux and are willing to
share<br>
their knowledge and provide hands-on assistance to users
--> TODD and<br>
others<br>
tier 2 support<br>
<br>
sets up and maintains network hardware and services (DNS,
DHCP),<br>
mirrors of Linux distributions --> TODD<br>
___________________________<br>
during installfest (everyting done by TODD)<br>
<br>
3.1.3. ADMINISTRATION<br>
<br>
Linux distributions (distros)<br>
<br>
Make sure that you will have several copies of the latest
versions of<br>
the major Linux distributions available on CD. To learn
which<br>
distributions to make available, please do a little research
on the<br>
Web sites listed in the appendix of this document.
installfest server<br>
<br>
You may want to consider setting up a server for:<br>
<br>
*<br>
<br>
DNS<br>
*<br>
<br>
DHCP<br>
*<br>
<br>
mirrors of distributions<br>
<br>
You should provide multiple methods of accessing the
distributions on<br>
the server:<br>
<br>
*<br>
<br>
FTP<br>
*<br>
<br>
rcp<br>
*<br>
<br>
HTTP<br>
*<br>
<br>
CD burning<br>
*<br>
<br>
NFS<br>
<br>
_____________________________<br>
networking equipment<br>
<br>
someone will need to bring network switches and cables
-->TODD<br>
signage<br>
<br>
You should have a few signs posted to help people find
their way<br>
around the location and provide other information.
-->TODD<br>
<br>
The people who run the fest need to be at the location at
least one<br>
hour before the fest is to begin. They will need time to set
up the<br>
network, installfest server, power system, signage, etc.
--TODD<br>
<br>
Make sure that all areas are cleaned up because you may want
to use<br>
the location again and you do not want to give the location
owner a<br>
bad impression. Look for: items people have forgotten, items
that<br>
people brought as "give aways", drink cans and cups.
-->TODD and<br>
others (and I see a lot of people JUST STANDING AROUND
HAVING AN<br>
OPINION).<br>
<br>
Does this look like a pattern?<br>
<br>
I think its easy to have pie in the sky ideas of how to do
this<br>
better. I'm also convinced that there are plenty of things
we can do<br>
better. But I really DO NOT appreciate when the ones that
don't pull<br>
the weight are trying to tell the ones who pull the wait
what to do!!<br>
<br>
I usually consider myself well tempered, but this discussion
is<br>
getting to me.<br>

So, after the installfest conversation in PLUG IRC
yesterday<br>
regarding installfest matters, I noticed that a lot of the
items<br>
discussed are actually guidelines already presented in the
Linux<br>
Installfest HOWTO.<br>
<br>
Many improvements to the PLUG Installfest can be made by
following<br>
these guidelines.<br>
<br>
Why are we beating a dead horse...<br>
<br>
Many of these items are part of the HOWTO already.<br>
<br>
I propose the Linux Installfest HOWTO be used as a guide
for<br>
discussion and installfests. Has everyone had a chance to
look these<br>
over?<br>
Can we agree to use the HOWTO as a guideline?<br>
<br>
I believe these installfest items will be on the table for<br>
discussion tomorrow evening. Is that correct?<br>
<br>
If so, I will be attending but not exactly at 7pm. You can
either<br>
fill me in or wait. I'm thinking 8ish at the latest.<br>
<br>
As far as I am concerned, I think one thing we can improve
and<br>
hopefully agree upon is following the installfest HOWTO as
a<br>
guideline.<br>
<br>
See you tomorrow!!!<br>
<br>
:)<br>
