[olug] Infotec and Summer Installfest

[Adam Haeder]

It's that time of year again, the annual Infotec conference is right 
around the corner. There will be an OLUG booth at the Infotec 
(www.infotec.org) show at the end of this month. The show itself runs 
Monday April 22 through Wednesday April 24 at the Holiday Inn Convention 
center on 72nd and Grover in Omaha.
The vendor booth times are:
Tuesday, April 23 ...................10:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.
Wednesday,  April 24 ..............10:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.

The OLUG booth is with the other user group booths in Ford Hall (the 
basement).
 Other user groups in the past have included Sun, Cisco and NebraskaCERT.

 I will be manning the booth in Ford Hall both days. I have had volunteers 
to help, and I've put together the following schedule:

 April 23 : 10:00 am - 6:00 pm	Adam Haeder and Lon Larsen
 April 24 : 10:00 am - 2:00 pm  Adam Haeder and Jeff Hinrichs
 April 24 : 2:00 pm - 6:00 pm  Adam Haeder and Sam Deel

 It's nice to have 2 people at the booth at all times to answer questions.
 This schedule just includes the people that volunteered to help. It's 
always nice to have MORE then 2 people as well, so you are all invited to stop 
by. If you wish to help out with the booth, you need to stop by the 
"Exhibitor Check-In" registration area and they will print you out a badge. Just mention my 
name and say you are with the OLUG.

 One of the primary reasons we have a booth at Infotec is because it's 
great advertising for our installfests. So we've scheduled a summer installfest 
that we can advertise at the booth. The date is Saturday, July 13th. We usually 
start setup at 10 am, people show up at noon, and we usually stay until about 6 pm. 
We will talk more about the format of the installfest later, now it's just 
important for everyone to get that date on their calendars.

My tentative inventory for Infotec:
 - lots of Installfest flyers
 - My desktop system and laptop system, networked
 - some distro cds to give away (maybe take business cards and have a 
raffle?)

 I'd like to demo some stuff for passerby. I'm going for eyecandy stuff 
like OpenUniverse or UnrealTournament. If anybody wants to drop anything else by, please 
feel free. We probably won't have internet access, but I'll bring a switch and some cable and we'll at 
least have power. I'll also bring some wireless cards and see if we can hook into the wireless 
network there.

 Any ?s, email me. I hope to see you all next week!
