Sorry I doubt I will have FTP access before May 19th. (I will only be accessing from work as I'm too busy in the evenings at the mo). I may be able to upload to geocities or something, but that's best avoided! Anyone who wants a copy, ask off list and I'll e-mail them a copy. If they then wish to upload that to a website, print a million copies, or sell it to Richard Branson for £6 million then they can. ;D -- Get your free email from www.linuxmail.org Powered by Outblaze

I can put up some posters and leave some leaflets around my collage... and maybe even get some ppl to go to one of them. I take it there is no lynn venue... sorry i cant even think of a room in hte collage that we could use... but then maybe i think we need to much. We need a room with tables and power sockets... not many of the rooms have alot of power sockets but we could use extension leads and stuff like that(i cany think of the write words... it is monday morning). HHHmmm ill have to see what i can do/find out. dont get your gopes up though.

Well, I'm hoping for more infos and demos than just straight installations. It would be very cool to see interesting kit, if you are able to bring it to one or the other. I suspect we'll have more trouble getting demo kit to Syleham. About these install days: who is putting leaflets where? Some suggest places to put them: - Libraries (OK if you make clear it's a volunteer group) - Computer shops (poster would be better) - Colleges, Universities Where else? Who's contacting local media? Shall I put together a faxbomb? Anyone got bright ideas on the wording? _______________________________________________ main(a)lists.alug.org.uk http://www.anglian.lug.org.uk/ http://lists.alug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/main Unsubscribe?

I'll put some up in Burwell library and post office and Newmarket computer shops (they hadn't heard of linux last time I was in). >Who's contacting local media? Shall I put together a faxbomb? Anyone got >bright ideas on the wording? Can we just reuse what we have put together for posters etc so far? I'll post to the linuxjunior and linuxnewbie type sites. Has David Freeman got a list of who he contacted last year anywhere about his person? Jen

If anyone wants a copy of the poster sooner rather than later, I can send it to your e-mail address offlist. (I'm not likely to be able to FTP it or IRC tonight). The Computer Service Centre opposite Jarrolds in Norwich agreed to hold some leaflets for us, I'll go back tomorrow to give them some colour ones. The other shop (to remain nameless) basically acted as if I'd said "I enjoy killing babies" when I mentioned Linux, although they said they'd think about it, and maybe I did actually say "I enjoy killing babies", you never know. In general, I think you'll need more copies of the leaflets, and less copies of the poster. Ricardo ----- This is my web-based e-mail account.

> and a URL to the > poster Ricardo has done (Is it accessible from the website, Ricardo?). *eep* not yet. Remind me to FTP it tonight whilst we're on IRC. Also, I think a link to the main Install Day page would be best, since it will hopefully contain a link to both the Syleham and UEA ones. I've got my smart clothes on, and am gonna take a long lunchbreak to try the computer shops on St.Benedicts, St.Augustines and Earlham Rd. in Norwich! ;) Any news on booking the UEA? -- Get your free email from www.linuxmail.org Powered by Outblaze

Oh go on, then.....consider any mails with the heading "Interest in Linux install day 2002" to have been dealt with off-list by myself. I'll send them the aforementioned mail I posted, and store their names somewhere in case we want them later for interrogation, hur hur hur. Jen.
