Next year, I think we need to do a couple of things differently. 1) We don't even try to do the 6.10 release of Ubuntu, because it will by definition be too new to know if there are issues. Instead, if 6.04 is solid, we use it, which has the advantage that several of us can order bunches of official discs well in advance of the event, and collect them together ahead of time, instead of finding out after the show has started that people who have promised to bring some are unable to make it to the event due to some unforseen problem. It can happen to anyone. Last year, Chris was in an accident. This year, we had at least one person too young to be allowed on the show floor. The goal here is to have a good supply of live CDs and/or OpenCD (FOSS apps for Windows) actually in the hall before the show opens.
2) The other advantage of choosing a CD several months in advance is that we might even be able to customize it. I think we need to make sure that any Windows functionality includes in the K-meleon screen a link to an on-disk html document, and the live desktop should have an icon linking to the same document, which would include KCLUG info, such as the base http://kclug.org, and http://kclug.org/mailman/listinfo/kclug URLs, to facilitate access to our available services. Adding this document in exchange for the time and expense we incur in burning CDs seems a fair bargain to me.
