Pre-W2L meeting 1

Was at Haifux at Aug. 8th 2004. Here are the summaries:

Orna's summary

http://linmagazine.co.il/node/view/3275

Oron's summary

  • Two parallel tracks:
    • For newbies (I'll call this "What's Linux", a proper name should be chosen later).
    • The "Power Users" track.
  • The activities would be scheduled on the same days so people can be directed when they arrive to the proper forum.
  • Both tracks would be unified from the Linux-Day onward.
  • The general layout (details bellow): 
       Week    Day     "Power Users"   "What's Linux"
       1       Wed     Blitz           Introduction
       2       Mon     Multimedia      Introduction (replay)
       2       Wed     Installation    FOSS
       3       Mon     Q&A             FOSS
       3       Wed     Q&A2
                       \-- Join tracks --/
       4       Wed     Linux Day
       5       Wed     Basic Admin
  • Notes:
    • The Blitz lecture should be all-in-one, fast paced and have "marketing" appeal.
    • The Multimedia is similar to the Blitz. The idea is to keep the momentum and show more stuff (each lecture is pretty short, ~1 hour).
    • The Installation is just before weekend so that power users would have a chance to try this at home. This lecture should include an actual demo on a tested computer.
    • The two Q&A sessions are meant to help people who lecture should include an actual demo on a tested computer.
    • The two Q&A sessions are meant to help people who have installed by themselves to finish the post install phase.
    • People who still have problems should come to the Linux Day.
    • The FOSS sessions are the place to talk about things like history, ideology, etc.
    • All other subjects would be pushed into SiL.
  • The Linux Day:
    • Not only for new installs, but also as post-install central for people who installed by themselves (power users).
    • Therefore, some installation stations should be reserved for this cause.
    • A projector should be connected to one of these. This way, interesting (or frequent) problems may be presented to all power users and diagnostic techniques can be shown.
    • More emphasis is required to prevent wasting "guru" time on fixing human errors on the part of the installers. A actual pre-run of the install procedure is essential for this.
