Last year it seemed that even keeping abreast of major GNU/Linux distros was beyond the wit of all but professional industry watchers.
I'd like to organise a meet, somewhere with bandwith and possibly a local Debian mirror for the event, and bash through some of the "current" Debian stuff.
I want to try UserLinux. I want to use the RC1 of the new Debian Installer (especially now it has a RAID install - I can supply a dual IDE box which is a bit ropey but will do). I want to compare this with the Knoppix -> Debian route (which I haven't tried yet despite it being kind of easy). I want Matt to get some more of his Macs liberated from MacOS 9 or less, I hope Matt does.
I want others to say what they want to try in this area! Surely someone is tempted to mimic Joey's install from USB keyfob?
I could do all these myself in my copious spare time, but I figure it will be quicker to do it as one weekend with a little help from some friends, and I'll probably learn more quicker.
Anyway if you too are a Debian convert or want to be one, or wish to supply hardware (especially things like a Debian mirror, and cabling), CDs, and especially know-how.....
I'd see this as more a "show and tell" like event, maybe spend a morning setting up, and playing a bit with the items of choice. A quick talk by the most knowledgable on each topic with demo (who may know only what was learnt that morning!), then a chance for others to repeat installs.
After Debian I want to do content management systems, but that is another story.... -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: Using GnuPG with Debian - http://enigmail.mozdev.org
