Glenda Village:
A proposal, how it could be organised, in a scheme:
http://www.r-36.net/glendavillage.GIF (base)
http://www.r-36.net/glendavillage_pwr_ntw.GIF (power and network)
http://www.r-36.net/presentation_WTH.GIF (inner presentation tent)
A summary, what we would need:
- 1 big presentation tent (MTG: 1x)
- a min of 5 boxes of good beer (20h: 2x)
- Ethernet switches (20h: 1x(8port); uriel 1x(5port))
- 2 junction boxes (20h: 2x)
- 1 long extension cable (getting to the main power supply)
- 2 extension cables (20h: 1x)
- 1 long CAT5 cable (getting to the main network)
- 2 CAT5 at 10m each (connecting the switches and the main server) (20h: 1x, uriel: 2x)
- 2 picnic table (we get them from the organisers)
- 1 camping table (Or do we still need some?)
- 4 camping chairs (20h: 1x)
- enough duct tape (20h)
- some lights, because they still have day and night in the Netherlands (20h: 1x)
- some way to do music(including speakers) (20h)
- some way to do multimedia (xscr on a beamer?)
- some CDs of Plan 9, Inferno and dtLinux to give them away(uriel: 15x of each)
- some tents, so it does not look like a dead town (20h: 1x, uriel: 2x)
- a way to keep the beer cool
- flag mast
- the flag (MTG: 2x)
- someone who has and can play a trumpet, for the every morning flag flying
- A bottle of Kernel Hackers JackDaniels to drink to Boyd's memory(uriel: 1x)
The programme we could do:
- (always) support for Plan 9 and Inferno
- (always) help in installing Plan 9 and Inferno
- (some) talks about Plan 9, Inferno, 9grid or whatever topic you want.
- (some) talks for Plan 9 and Inferno users
- micro-hackathons(try to get as much hacking done in X amount of hours)
The presentations could either be done over a beamer, on a whiteboard or by telling the listeners, where to find the PDF of the talk.
Talks that could be done:
20h:
- graphical programming in Plan 9
- network programming in Plan 9
- application programming in Plan 9
- introduction to 9grid
uriel:
- Introduction to Plan 9
- The importance of simplicity and the Unix Philosphy
