Report of T-DOSE

Well as i blogged before, saturday we where at T-DOSE the Technical Dutch Open Source Event. The starting keynotes by Willem Jan Withagen where pretty interesting, although left me with a nagging urge to install freeBSD.

The first part of the day was pretty uneventful with mostly vendors and other stall people looking at each others presentation and having a bit of a talk. After the midday though the amount of people started to rise, with quite a big chunk of them visiting our stand, not in the least to be attributed to the wonderful posters whe got from the Gnome Event Box.

We had quite some hardware running at our stand, consisting of 3 laptops and the gnome event box pc (which unfortunately died after a few hours, but after that was utilised to run from a live-cd)

The only bad thing was the fact that besides all this great hardware for showing off gnome, we had very little in the terms of recording it :/ so you will have to make do with the pictures i made with my phone.

T-DOSE

Currently i'm at T-DOSE trying to promote GNOME it's a bit difficult though, since for the most part it's just the vendors and other stall people looking at each others presentation. And i haven't really seen any real visitors yet.

To make matters worse, the pc from the gnome event box died. While running at some point it just crashed, At the reboot i got a couple of read errors and after that grub wouldn't go to stage2 and it would randomly not even find the disk to boot from. I'm unsure how this is going to be resolved, but i'll mail murray about it tonight when i get home. For demoing material it isn't a problem though, since we still had 3 more laptops there running openSUSE, Mandriva and Debian. I'll put some pictures online tonight when i can hook up my phone to a windows machine.

-edit @ 1:32 pm-
It seems i was a bit premature in my assessment of the amount of public because now after morning it's certainly picking up in the number of visitors.
