VMWare donated a single workstation license which we will install on the demo machine, to demonstrate Windows-under-Linux.
Coincidentally, CodeWeavers donated copies of CrossOver Office and CrossOver Plugin, which we will also install on the demo machine.
Mandrake donated about 60 copies of single-disc Mandrake 8.1 installations.
Bill also created 100 8-page info. packets which explain who LUGOD is, where to learn more about Linux, a number of reasons one would want to avoid using Microsoft (bugs, viruses, anti-competitive practices, and invasions of privacy), and copies of the Free Software and Open Source definitions.
Ryan Castellucci and Marianne Waage are lending LUGOD card tables to set up at the event. Nicole Carlson and Ryan are bringing chairs.
Nicole will be bringing her laptop on Friday and Saturday morning. Ryan may not be able to bring his on Saturday. Doug Baribieri can bring his new laptop, but needs help repartitioning Windows&nsbp;2000, so that he can install Linux before the event.
More volunteers (read: bodies) are needed to help answer questions and hand out information and discs.
Bill Kendrick will be providing transportation on Friday, and possibly Saturday.
The class is scheduled for Wed. May 22nd from 6:30pm to 8pm. Register with Richard Lowenberg of DCN.
They brought three desktop systems, a laptop, and three LCD displays. Two slide presentations were given, a number of FlightGear models and views were shown, and OpenGC was demonstrated, running on one multi-headed system, talking over a network with FlightGear on another computer!
