[QGLUG] RE: Installfest at CNA-Q

[Niedermayer, Daryle]

As for coffee, this weekend is not good and I fly out next Friday
morning. This too will have to wait for January.

 

Some questions:

1.	People would (I expect) be bringing their own computers/laptops
for the Installfest? We have computer labs but I'll need to confirm that
network security will be relaxed so that we won't have (for example) MAC
filtering applied by the switches.
2.	Let me know of any sponsorships you can line up. I expect we'd
be interested in discussing this option as well.

 

 

I also need to see what other sort of physical security issues there
might be in terms of getting people physical access to the campus.

WOW that is quick reply.

 

Yeah we can finalize by January all the things we need to do, I think we
can settle this idea by 4th Quarter of January. (probably it is simple
task) for the mean time while semester break is up I will try to steer
and catch up some ideas from the group maybe we can get some sponsors
like emitac or other IT related company to advertise their company in
exchange of supporting the events.

 

# I'd love to get together for coffee about it.

You mean you are free this comming Saturday morning? :)

 

Regards,

 

Kutch

	Yes, Kutch,

	 

	How are you?

	 

	I got Nigel's earlier note and meant to follow up with you on
this. My apologies.

	 

	First of all, I think it is an excellent idea. The timing would
be better for January though. The college is in exam week right now and
will be shutting down over the next week for the semester break. We will
be starting up on January 6 again. Perhaps we can meet in early January
to discuss this? I'd love to get together for coffee about it.

	Hi Daryle,

	 

	Good day to you I hope you still remember me, the one you meet
at Tech Talk of QSTP with Nigel at Qatar Diplomatic Club.

	 

	I just want to ask maybe you are interested on making CNA-Q as
host for Installfest, last November 24, we organize a meet up and it was
really amazing that there is more that 10 people showed up as what we
only expect to meet 4 persons based on the e-mail list. 

	 

	It was un-formal meeting but it brings my attention that more
people now in Qatar is interested with Open Source. As chit-chat goes
one we just bring up and idea that why we just start organizing with
'Installfest' and we can target students/professors on this activity.

	 

	Rough idea for the Installfest, we will just utilize one
laboratory room or any open area where we can accommodate
students/professors that can easily go in and out, some desktop
computers, internet connections, electric, tables and chairs.

	 

	By the way maybe you are free this Saturday we can discuss if
personally if you are interested? If yes for you Saturday morning at
coffee beanery around 9:00am is great.

	 

	Hope you are interested.

	 

	Kind regards,

	 

	Kutch Villasor
