[TriLUG] Installfest @ UNC

[Ed Hill]

Hi Anthony,

Its easy to arrange a talk or Installfest at UNC-CH.  All you need is a
sponsor.  The sponsor can be any *registered* student club, a
department, or some other official UNC entity.  Once you have the
sponsor, you can request a room, a key to the room, and have the
building entrance unlocked by the UNC security folks at the appropriate
time.

In the past, Joe Schuch <joe_schuch at unc.edu>: 

  http://www.unc.edu/~schuch/

of ATN has been *very* helpful in both obtaining good rooms (lots of
bench space and some ethernet ports) and for being our sponsor.  He was
helpful in the past because, as a hobby, he runs the local ColdFusion
user group and he was trying to reach out to the Linux portion of the
web development community.

So if you are serious about getting space, go see Joe and mention my
name.  We (TriLUG) have been good citizens at UNC-CH in the past (we
cleaned up after ourselves and we didn't create any trouble on their
LAN) so I bet they'll be willing to sponsor us again.

Also, heres a list of recommendations:

  - for ethernet, get permission to use the campus net and then
    do NAT to connect all the installfest boxen to minimize impact

  - have attendees sign a waiver (i'll send a copy if you want)

  - make sure to have volunteers to clean up and work the doors 
    (buildings will probably be locked evenings and weekends when 
    you want to use them)  


If you have any other questions, feel free to contact me.

good luck!
Ed
