FOSS4G'13

Jo / Ian E,

Thanks for offering to help with ensuring we don't have any surprises when it comes to technical requirements for the main and free workshops.

I've been through the Requirements tab of the spreadsheet (https://docs.google.com/a/astuntechnology.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AqjoM30msjG9dFp4SDY3WU9IblVsWml3M3VJUjFLckE#gid=8) and identified those workshops that we need to look into further and assigned responsibility for contacting the presenter to one of us.

I've been sent a bunch of emails out this evening. We're going to be away from tomorrow until Wed but I'll check my emails and respond as appropriate.

An example email is:

Hi Francois,
 

We're using University of Nottingham computer labs for all 
workshops which will allow a PC per delegate. 
Installing software on the lab PCs in generally not possible so we're 
assuming that the majority of workshops will be using a LiveDVD or USB 
and will not require a login to the local machine.

Can you confirm that running via LiveDVD or USB will be fine? Should
 a local workstation login be required we need to know next week.

If you are looking to use something other than the OSGeo 
LiveDVD then we'd be happy to test if you can provide a download and 
instructions in the next few weeks.

Thanks,

Matt.

Should we require any checks to be made on-site please add a to-do to the Workshops and code sprints list and assign to Jeremy: https://basecamp.com/1920286/projects/762306-foss4g-13/todolists/2527579-workshops-and-code.

@IanH, @Mark We discussed technical requirements on the call today and decided that we'd better contact all presenters that had not explicitly stated that they where using LiveDVD to ensure we can accommodate their requirements (or ideally persuade them to use a LiveDVD).

Cheers,

Matt.
