[Vox-Outreach] URGENT, OOo CDs needed for GTC West conference May 14-16.
Title: URGENT, OOo CDs needed for GTC West conference May
14-
Hi all,
Due to an unfortunate mixup, I need your help now. The
OpenOffice.org CDs I expected to get from Sun may not be delivered in
time for LUGODs
http://www.lugod.org/
booth 945 at GTC West
http://www.govtech.net/gtc/?pg=conference&confid=76
May 14-16 in Sacramento.
"
Government
Technology Conference is the largest and most respected technology
conference for state and local government.
Designed by Government-for-Government, GTC delivers a cutting-edge
educational program addressing the most important policy, management
and technology issues facing government today.
GTC provides an
unbiased forum for government professionals and the IT industry to
openly discuss and develop solutions for the public
sector.
"
This is a once a year significant opportunity to grow the
open source community by educating government IT professionals at a
time of severe budget shortfall.
If any California based folk can help me burn OOo CDs for Windows
or contribute obsolete but usable labeled OOo CDs, GTC West is a great
opportunity to help. We plan to encourage open standards
by distributing OOo to the good people who spend our tax dollars. The
following is needed at LUGOD booth May 14-16.
1. Labeled OOo distribution CDs from 1.0.1 up.
2. Appropriate OOo CD labels as found here

3. An estimated 200 Hand labeled Windows 1.1beta CDs with
autostart as described by Alex as follows

Paul,
If you do "roll your own", you might like to put the autorun
files and the
other installation guides on it as well. Take a look around the
temporary
location at http://www.hypermax.net.au/~user/settantta/ooo and grab
what
you'd like. I recommend you at least grab the following:
shellrun.exe
autorun.inf
default.html
Setup.html
unicows.exe (but since most of your target are probably running 2000
or XP, it
probably isn't needed).
You'll need to grab the /img directory and its contents too...
This would give you an auto-starting CD under windows, with the
setup
guides...
In spite of our Linux user base, I will focus on a Windows
distribution because virtually all government IT people have to use
Windows and OOo is an excellent way to get immediate broad acceptance
for open source applications.
I apologise for the late notice and the stress of this last
minute effort. Ideas for further coordination are welcomed since
I live "way up country" over 75 miles from typical LUGOD
outreach activities 8^)
Ideas, suggestions?
Best to all,
Paul Miller
