Saturday

Asheesh

Before leaving home, bring:

Power strip
Laptop, laptop power cable
Cell phone, cell charger
Digital camera, with working SD card
Box of Windows-oriented DVDs, and Ubuntu CDs, and Mac-oriented DVDs

At 9 AM, get to venue.

While there, ask http://www.theupsstorelocal.com/0681/ about:

Printing welcome sheet, x100 [1]
Printing drink tickets

At 9:30 AM, configure mizmo's laptop to do VGA out.

At 10 AM, start getting Ignite talkers to find me and give me slides. Configure freedeb's laptop to do VGA out.

At 10:30 AM, introduce the event (BRIEFLY) and freedeb and mizmo.

At 11 AM, introduce Ignite format.

Old stuff

Venue

Friday: Find a second projector
- Asheesh will bring Mako's!

General: Get a stool so dpic doesn't have to stand
- Deb will bring one from home on Saturday.

Sound: We have 2 microphones.
- Do they work?
- Do they put sound into an appropriate place in the room?
  - If not, we can make a plan to bring an amp or speakers.

Buy power strips and/or extension cords (CC is providing some)
- Visit the space to find out what we need (Or we can call Jane)

After-party

Drink tickets?
- Deb will make them at home and bring them on Saturday to the venue.
- Will we hand these out during registration, when people arrive, or at the party?

Make time during the After-party to get all the volunteers into the same corner and say thank you

Schedule

We need to replace Jesse Vincent.
- Either with nothing, or with a surprise talk by Robot101.
- Asheesh asked Robot101. If he says no, we can:
  - Give mizmo 15 more minutes
  - Make lunch 15 min longer
  - Make Show&Tell 15 min longer. Ta-da!

Web

Adjust http://libreplanet.org/wiki/Boston_Software_Freedom_Day to refer to this year's

Printed materials

FSF will bring... what, precisely?

Old list

(Deb's comments in parentheses)

Make sure the schedule on the wiki is final
Make a PDF version of it
- on colored paper, if possible
- Combine that schedule with a one-pager about the importance (and definition) of software freedom. (I bet the FSF is bringing these, http://www.fsf.org/resources/what-is-fs)
- When making that, look at "Preparing for the day" at http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/StartGuide
Check that my laptop can join the wifi
- If not, escalate quickly (there will be a person at the front desk, although you could try tomorrow too)
Find out who will unlock the door at 9am, (there will be a person at the front desk)
Find out Deb's story for drink tickets (I'm making them at home)
Ask for Ignite PPTs (or similar) from people
Create auto-progression slide deck
Burn 30ish Ubuntu CDs
- if ( paultag.canFind(key) ) paultag can bring a USB key w/Ubuntwo
Burn (baby, burn!)
Does VGA at the venue work?
Whose laptop are we going to project the Ignite talks from? (I don't mine being used)
- mizmo's?
Burn something for Mac OS
- http://www.appleusers.org/dotm/september-dotm-free-and-open-source-software-for-mac-os-x/ ? I asked for an FTP login
- http://www.freesmug.org/fscd probably good, has a source disc, which is key
