[Moodle] Moodle Install Fest

Tue Dec 18 12:47:49 EST 2007

Any time in January...I will be there..can bring my old box with me!
I am happy to kick in for lunch(or we could order pizza!). Heck why dont we make it a 2 day thing and get serious about it, I will happily give up 2 days of my break to learn some of this cool new stuff from you guys! Dont care about the venue as long as it is somewhere handy to melbourne..Cranbourne is fine, the free(toll)way is there just for that! North South, East, West of Melbourne..dont care just do it!
Suggest about mid Jan for a time, gives us a bit of a break then and a chance to absorb some new ideas....
Will watch this space for dates and times!

Basically, I'm in!
If there is a cost, can we keep it cheap please? Perhaps if there must be, how about we all chip in 50 bucks towards the general costs..I'd be happy to do that as an idea. Will cost me that in fuel to get there anyway!

Also, if we do some installs of various programs, can we organise to bring enough copies(assuming legal here) for all of us of the programs to be installed or, have the software easily downloadable from some website..perhaps the VITTA one, or Mark K's site, or Kevorks etc

Just some ideas...wanting to try some new stuff in 08.

Ok, Wow! - Let's do it!
We have 3 offers for venue,
and a range of ideas for 'when?'

I am organising http://linux.conf.au <http://linux.conf.au/>  at unimelb which takes place Jan28
- Feb2. My time is somewhat limited by that so a mid to late February
Date would suit me better. However I'm happy to facilitate this
happening in January, I just won't be able to commit to being there
myself. 

Some people indicated they would like to have a machine ready to go
before term starts, so Jan would be better for them.

So... Here's 4 options for dates:

January
 Friday 18th
 Saturday 19th

February
 Saturday 9
 Saturday 16

** Suggested Program **
   10am-1pm: Build systems / install LAMP & moodle
   1-2pm: LUNCH (BYO or Pay4Catering?)
   2-5pm: Configure moodle / set up courses & share knowledge

** Venues **
   Stephen Bloomer - St. Peter's College, Cranbourne
   "If you want an installfest on a weekday, I can clear a classroom
during the second half of January"

   Roland Gesthuizen - Westall Secondary College, Clayton
   Saturday in February
   "if we run it on a Saturday, we could invite school techs."
   "Saturday, early February, could also rustle up a BBQ for lunch"
   "I have a dozen of the ye olde Acer 5100 "digital divide" computers
that we can trash and rebuild"

   Roslyn Meadows
   "need to have moodle running seamlessly by the first day next year"
   "If venue is a problem I will even offer my house!!"
