<div dir="ltr">Hi Steven :)<div>I am back from spain (it was amazing time)</div><div class="gmail_extra"><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);border-left-style:solid;padding-left:1ex">
I think it would be nice to have a workshop instead of just a plain talk. How did you do this during your talks in the US/Spain?<br></blockquote><div>I have several virtual machines and people can ssh to my laptop.<br></div>
<div>so we still need to use laptop of users for it but they are safe that only my machine is affected.</div><div>we need also wifi (sometimes I used my phone to be acces-point/hot spot but it only works for less than 5 users)</div>
<div><br></div><div>we always share screen session so everybody can see what we are doing (it is better than projector usually)</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);border-left-style:solid;padding-left:1ex">

What do you need for this infrastructure wise? I can round up a bunch of laptops, desktops, vm's, switches - tell me what you need. I can bootstrap an ubuntu 12.04 on them.<br></blockquote><div>We can also build real storage and play with removing cables from the switch during WRITE/READ operation :)</div>
<div>Could be more fun!</div><div>we can have less machines than people and share screen on projector</div><div>we need at least 4 machines to make real show: 3 chunk servers, 1x metalogger, (my laptop can act as a master server)</div>
<div>pure ubuntu 12.04 will work just fine :)</div><div><br></div><div>+1</div><div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);border-left-style:solid;padding-left:1ex">
<br>
How much time would you reserve for such a workshop? Half a day, a day?<br></blockquote><div> </div><div>4 hours is enough.</div><div>if you want code we need another day for introduction to the code style :p I am kidding ... 4 hours is perfect.</div>
<div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);border-left-style:solid;padding-left:1ex">
Then, based on that, please send me a list of dates/times on which you are available / our meeting can take place.<br></blockquote><div> </div><div>I will be available all time from 17th october 13:00 to 22nd October 23:00 you can suggest it in doodle. </div>
<div>after doodle is done and everybody voted (let say 15th of october) I will set up another meeting with other users and friends in ZRH :)</div><div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);border-left-style:solid;padding-left:1ex">
<br>
I'll then create a doodle and send that around. Once we have an estimation of how many people will attend, I'll go hunting for a room.<br></blockquote><div>doodle is great idea ! </div><div>what about beer after workshops ?</div>
<div>I will be more than happy to pay for first 20 beers for participants of the workshop :)</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);border-left-style:solid;padding-left:1ex">
