Good

Dealers, where are you? Here is your chance :-)

Yes, But as Gal said we have our linux.org.il . If one of the admins of it
will agree to take a few minutes to place the htmls... Since Technion
server might be very slow many times !!! But, I don't care, Do as you feel
better. 

We need to write a few pages. About preparing to the party. What to bring,
what is must to delete prior to the party (winXX :-). (Last party we have
copied win95 to another disk repartioned the disk and then returned it
back!) Please, peek at my old page at:
http://www.eprotect.com/stas/TULARC/os/linux-install.html

I'm sure we have to modify it and upload to our , whatever is chosen,
official party server! Please contrib your knowledge!

(We have to ask people to bring floppies, so they can take their
boot/resque disks home, remember to add this. Partition Magic is a must!
Monitors is must! (we lacked the monitors last time so people waited for a
long time. And we have had to ask monitors owners to wait more so we can
use them to install on others machines) probably other things too. Which
ones? )

Ok, Someone has the latest CDs? 
How about downloading the latest RH from the original, and update it with
the staff from the contrib directory... Hope it isn't a big hassle, maybe
someone already accomplished that (Someone, are you there ?)

Or maybe if we have a month some Order from Abroad will be cheaper?
How about CD+Book? Book is great source for beginners! It'll cost more but
it worth!

Now, About Vendors/Sponsors. If someone comes to sell stuff, How about
making a few T-shirts for us with Technion Party + Linux Logo :-0

Ok, I'm waiting for more ideas, who will come (even just planning, so we
will know what to expect), vendors, contributors, T-shirts :-), MTV ads
:-) and more.

I'll start to write the html soon! Or someone wants to take over?
