Goodies / Freebies

  • Use what we have.

Organized pricelist with prepared sheets to write down what has been sold.

"LAN Party" (actually, more of a demo for games...)

  • Test in exact same configuration as being used at Fest (being careful about peripherals, such as USB mice too!)
  • Organize games (2 weeks in advance)

Demo

    • 3 boxes each of Coke, Vittel, Beer should be sufficient (1 week in advance)

CDs

  • We should have a couple of CDs of various distributions to hand out. 2 of each kind should be largely enough
(most people actually have either already bought a version themselves, or buy one at our stand)
 * Kubuntu
 * Fedora
 * Knoppix (possibly customized LiLux version, needs time (!), yes i think its too late now, but for next year we could think of it ...) -> cf. HURD :-)
 * SuSE
 * Debian
 * Mandrake
 * OpenCD
 * Plan for enough blank CDs in case we run out of one distro
 * Ubuntu & Kubuntu: check when the official version may be shipped...

Material

Everyone MAKE SURE YOU MARK YOUR ITEMS!

  • Ethernet Cables
  • Hubs / switches
  • Spare keyboards
  • Spare monitors
  • "multiprises"
  • Wi-Fi access point
