Well, everyone seems to be ok with saturday for this event, but what time works for everyone? My first idea is 12-4. Let me know how this works for everyone.

Here is my workup of a flyer. If I dont hear any feedback soon I am going to consider pushing the event off another week. I would have liked to have these posted today, but oh well... Let me know what you think.

You know what, I've been thinking.

As long as you're pretty sure 1-2 people will show, you might go ahead and have it - if it's small, it will give you a chance to live and learn and improve the event for better billing, more notice, and a larger crowd. Might as well learn (and potentially make mistakes) small.

For the flyer - might want to give a precise list of what to bring: cpu, monitor, keyboard, etc. or just cpu? (ie, is important for linux and getting the appropriate drivers to have the monitor, mouse, printer, etc. there? or is it easy for us to get the accessories from somewhere else so people don't have to bring them?)

Drivers? I think all attendees should have to write their own drivers like you had to in the ole days :-)

My tongue is firmly in cheek of course.

I've wanted to write a driver, but I haven't taken the time to learn how to do so yet.

Maybe someday.

I don't know about everyone else but for me it would be much easier to lug around a CPU rather than all the peripherals.

I don't know if I can RSVP here but I'm coming

ok - 1 RSVP for "anonymous" coming up ... :-D

To RSVP, please send and email to luucs@caos.siue.edu

If anyone has a spare powerstrip or two that they could bring with, we could use them.

Thanks,
Peter
