Re: [Fwd: Re: CTS Booth for Student Org]

Okay guys, the tech fair is coming up, april 11 through 12.

Thats only 3 weeks away. We have a normal meeting next wednesday the  
29th at 7pm, which David Krovich is presenting at.

After his presentation is over I would like everyone that can help  
out with our table at CTS to stay so that we can discuss and finalize  
everything that we want/need for for the fair. If you'd like we can  
head down to BW3's, as we have been after meetings, and discuss it  
there. If you can't meet after our normal meeting, but would still  
like to participate in the CTS shoot me an email.

The essential things to know are:

1) Who will be able to man the booth and when
2) Who can provide a laptop to demo linux on. We should probably have  
at least 2, one setup with all kinds of eye candy and another as a  
more traditional business desktop machine.
3) Who can supply CD's (we need both live and install discs)
4) Who can come up with a great flier to help recruit new members.

Mike.
