<div><div class="h5"> <br>The conference call with HackPittsburgh took place tonight.
Particpants <br>were:<br><br>WPLUG: Me<br>HackPittsburgh: Doug Philips<br><br>The purpose of the call was to discuss a potential joint event - a <br>"mini-installfest" - to be held in HackPittsburgh's space, in <br>
conjunction with one of their regularly scheduled public meetings. This <br>would be an "out-of-cycle" special event for us, outside of our usual <br>meeting schedule, and might help us reach people who wouldn't normally <br>
attend our meetings or have much awareness of us or our activities.<br><br>HackPittsburgh's public events are normally held on Friday evenings at <br>7:00pm. In looking at their schedule (and being pretty sure that <br>
WPLUG's schedule for Friday evenings was pretty clear), we thought that <br>Friday, March 16th would be a reasonable date to do this. Doug is going <br>to float that date to their membership to see if there's any objection, <br>
and of course I said that I'd run the date by you
all to see if it was a <br>problem. I know this is a little soon on the heels of our installfest <br>this past Saturday, but it reaches a different audience, so I think <br>that's OK.<br><br>Our thought is that we can do this with minimal infrastructure - they <br>
have network access and power at their shop, and installs can be done <br>from either CD/DVD or USB stick (i.e., no PXE server). From their <br>(HackPittsburgh membership) perspective, their members have primarily <br>expressed interest in Ubuntu (which I have on CD, both 32-bit and <br>
64-bit). So, I would bring my "Linux install media kit" that I had on <br>Saturday - Ubuntu 11.10 (and 10.04 LTS), Fedora 16, Fedora 15 (for <br>anyone that wants Fedora but doesn't have the 768 meg of RAM that Fedora <br>
16 requires), Debian 6.0.4, and CentOS 6.2. 32-bit and 64-bit versions <br>of all (except for 10.04 LTS, I only have as 32-bit).<br><br>There was some concern expressed
at the GUM/Installfest on Saturday, <br>about power availability in HackPittsburgh's shop. Doug assures me that <br>there are two main workbenches with a total of at least 30 outlets <br>between them, so we should be good on power.<br>
<br>I think we can do this with only a few volunteers. And (unlike this <br>past Saturday - when, for better or worse, it was not a problem...) I <br>will make sure to bring blank WPLUG membership forms and maybe some <br>
other kinds of promotional stuff if we can come up with something (for <br>people who are interested, but don't want to commit to joining WPLUG on <br>the spot).<br><br>Does this seem like a reasonable plan?<br><br>--Pat.<br>
