time to prepare?



Hi,

And this time I would like to ask - How about another Linux booth at Internet
World 99? Dates are 23/2 - 25/2 - Tel Aviv

I think that this time we need to start thinking and planning for this event -
after all - Linux now has grown very well outside Israel, and many companies in
Israel should get to see Linux in action..

In order not to charge anyone for this booth - we'll need some sponsorships..

Here are some ideas. If you have some also - please let all know...

* Frame relay line - Could be sponsored by PF1 or the Internet world hosting ISP
(in the worst case - I'll move a 10BaseT cable from ISDN Net booth to our).

* Free CD's - I'll try to talk to Intel Israel so they could pay CDI for making
a Redhat 5.2 CD's - 300 - 1,000 copies. If they'll agree (and I hope they will -
after all - Intel is investor in Redhat and they would like to see that their
investment pays). If they'll agree - I'll need someone to write a short hebrew
manual of how to partition HD, and install RH 5.2, LILO issue etc...

* PC Computers - maybe loan from Newron? E.I.M? (if someone could say/organize
something regarding that - it could be good). 

* Alpha computer - anyone can talk to Compaq/Digital regarding this? I hope
they'll agree. Anyone knows how to install and use Linux on Alpha? - and in
general - do u think is it worth? 

* IBM - they got now DB2 on Linux, as well as Jikes - anyone from IBM to show
something with Linux??? can someone from IBM respond?

* Posters - Anyone about this issue? any good artists?

* Big Linux Penguin - How about Linux doll? We need some Icon :)

I know that people will say it's early, but it better be early and prepared,
rather than doing this like last time with very tight schedule..

Thanks
Hetz
