I'm having a bit of a circular conversation. I think we need one projector and one screen.
I REALLY want to do this at BC. Your school deserves the exposure and I like to promote
Brooklyn. The contact for MIT was mostly Matt who works at MIT and works on Ximian, which
is a commercial arm of GNOME. Looking at things, they had 3 classrooms which they used.
We are looking for dates November 22,24 (Sat - Mon) and Richard Stall has committed to
this. It might seem odd but if we publise this well, Richard can possible fill Whitman
Theater (which is a GREAT theater capable of broadway plays and Concerts for people not
familiar with New York) if you want to angle for this. He has commited to the dates.
Internet connectivity is a big plus if it can be done.
Folks will certainly have their laptops. I'm CCing the MIT/GNOME people on this. If you need further
contacts please let me know and I'll do an end run around Nat and Lou through Richard Stallman (who is also
affiliated with MIT) and see if he can dig up the contacts in the MIT administration.
My understanding is that the Provost at MIT just signed off on the project and Nat did all the
rest of the arraingments.
They also want to have a conference call to get all your needs down for the approval process.
As a side note, Rutgers University in Newark nearly jumped out of their pants to have this in
Jersey. I strongly don't want to do this in New Jersey. But people in Jersey are aggressive about
attracting such events, whether it is football teams, or developers conferences. It is personally
fustrating to me, because we get the short end of the stick far too often.
Please help me as much as possible to make this the most successful event possible!
Thanks
Ruben
