[Etherboot-developers] From LinuxWorld Expo

[Marty C. <ma...@et...>]

Greetings from LinuxWorld San Francisco 2002!

We've arrived at the hotel (and have established essential DSL network
connectivity ;)

The San Francisco Marriott is located just a couple of short blocks from
the Moscone Center where LinuxWorld is being held, and is very convenient.

We shipped the demo machines ahead, and have retrieved them from shipping
and will be testing them later this evening.  So far so good.

We will be going over to the Moscone tomorrow to check out the booth
location and get the customizations that we usually require.  We will
probably need another table, and will likely have to ask for a static IP
address for our router.  It tends to make things easier.

It's funny, this is our fourth LinuxWorld Expo in a row, and many things
are getting easier. We just know what to expect, and where things are
located in the city.  This is good because we can spend more time on
presentation of technology to users and less on infrastructure.

We have a neat new banner for the booth.  It's 1 meter by 2.5 meters
(3x8ft ;), and uses new EtherBoot and ROM-o-matic logos.  It should be
eye-catching.  My assistant Peter did a nice job on it.

We should have the webcam up pretty soon.  I might point it out the
window of the hotel room since we have a nice view.  I'll put up the URL
of the webcam as soon as it is up.  Right now we have 3 computers, a
router, a USB printer, and various other bits of hardware up.  I've
already checked out the CompUSA store and the 24hour Kinko's copy shop,
as well as essential places like the local pharmacy where I can get my
morning yogurt.

Anyway, that's it for the moment.  More news soon.  I hope you enjoy this
virtual LinuxWorld trip with us.  It is a pleasure and privilege to carry
the Etherboot banner again.

Marty
