[lugm.org] Conference/InstFest 2010

[Jochen Kirstätter]

Hello altogether,

just to put it into this thread, too:

I can offer a complete Ubuntu (9.04, 9.10 and upcoming 10.04) mirror
with PXE boot and pre-seeded installation.
If time allows, I might add additional distributions like Novell SuSE or
CentOS.

Sessions on various topics are really nice.
I could contribute presentation(s) on installation and configuration of
samba (beginner and advanced topics).

What about UoM or UTM?

Leave internet connection as a requirement for the location.
With a gateway/router connected via 3G modem you do not need this. You
can go online almost anywhere.

Maybe it is interesting to get in touch with Emtel or Orange for
sponsoring internet connectivity.

Another service that should be provided is "DVD/CD burning" of either
Install- or Live-CDs.
