Topic: Birds of a Feather session at SCALE 10X

Since I'm going to be there, I set up a CrunchBang Birds of a Feather session on Saturday evening at the Southern California Linux Expo SCALE 10X later this month.

A Birds of a Feather session, or BoF, is an informal meet-up or discussion, where conference attendees can get together and discuss a shared interest without a pre-designated agenda. Like #!, for example.

I plan to have some live CDs that I burned -- for those who show up and say, "What is this?" -- as well as setting up the laptop with the iso to make live usb sticks if there's a demand for it (users, of course, have to sacrifice one of their own). I'd like to have a flier, perhaps, or some other materials about #!

I'm wide open to ideas, if anyone has any.

Anyway, if there are any #! users going to SCALE who want to join me, the time and room will be posted somewhere on the schedule during the expo.

Needless to say I'll be reporting from and after the show on my blogs.

Re: Birds of a Feather session at SCALE 10X

Since so many people have dumb-phones and other mobile look-at (de)vices, you could just give them crunchbanglinux.org; the old main website seems to be a great marketing resource.  (The new crunchbang.org pages still seem to be very much a work-in-progress, with the front page redirecting to Philip's "give me money" page; I don't want that to be potential converts' first impression of this wonderful distro.)

Understood, pvsage -- I plan to have a laptop, possibly two (probably two), set up running #! so folks who were unfamiliar with it could try it out.

OK so it's official: There is a CrunchBang Birds of a Feather meet-up at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 21, in Century AB (a combination of Century A and Century B -- CrunchBang, of course requires two rooms big_smile ). So if you're at SCALE and want to meet up, that's where we'll be.
