[Fwd: OSSPAC - Event & Ticket] Message-ID: Hello All, Tom Goh of Singapore Linux Meetup Group is arranging for a booth at OSSPAC ( http://www.osspac.com/) which will be Mon - Wed, 16 - 18 Feb 2009. He is asking for groups interested in participating in the booth. If I can get in for free as "staff" I would be happy to present on Ubuntu for TUSG. Is anyone else interested? I have copied the text of Tom's note below. Cheers CDR ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Tom Goh Date: Fri, Feb 6, 2009 at 7:28 PM Subject: OSSPAC - Event & Ticket To: fosa-sg at googlegroups.com Hi All, *EVENT* I will need some people to help man the booths during those days. OSSPAC has offered us a booth if we would like to do some promotion for our groups (SLMG, FOSA and Software Freedom Day) We can also invite a few other groups to attend and do some promotion. The idea is to have some information pamphlets about each of our organizations and potentially recruit people for SFD 2009 Let me know if you have any suggestions of what we can do and who we can invite. Other Groups: Ubuntu Group PHP Group Java Group ... The Meetup.com site has a bunch of promotional material that we can print up for SLMG *Tickets* we have two tickets. I am not sure if the tickets are for the booths members or additional personnel. I think it will be for additional personnel. I would prefer to hand them out to people who really can't afford it and really want to go and are actually active and participate in the community. Let me know if you know anyone who wants to go or if you are interested. Tom -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

There will probably be a limit to the number of people that could attend as part of that booth. Although Tom also suggests that people staffing the booth would not be counted against the two free tickets, I would not be surprised if the case is otherwise. That is, tickets are expensive for this event, and letting all "booth staff" in for free is a situation ripe for abuse. I'll touch base with Tom again in a day or two and see if he has more info.

As well, as I suggested in my response to Nick, it may be that the two free tickets are really for the people running the booth. In that case, we should alternate days so that as many members of TUSG are able to go as possible.

I am one of the members of the Team Ubuntu Singapore group (TUSG). Muhammad Heidir gave me your contact information. On Sat, 21 February TUSG will be having a general meeting, and we will be discussing and planning events for the month of March. What I would like to propose is that we would do a presentation at NUS as one of our events. To help me with the agenda and planning for an event at NUS, could you please answer these questions? I have CC'd to our mailing list, as some of the other members may want to contribute to the conversation. The list is members only, so you should reply just to me. Of course, you are welcome to join Team Ubuntu and the mailing list! Questions: - Where at NUS will the presentation be held? - What facilities are available (e.g., network connections, projector, lab room, lecture room)? - How much time is allotted for TUSG's presentation? - What publicity are you doing for the event? Is there something we can do to help with publicity? - What sort of presentation are you looking for? We can do a lecture & demonstration, but even better would be a hands-on activity. For example, if sufficient time is available we could do an installfest event where we actually install Ubuntu on the participants' computers. Being able to do something like that is dependent on time allotted and facilities available. - Will TUSG's presentation be part of a larger event that includes other groups? Thanks for your interest in Ubuntu and TUSG!

I am particularly intrigued by the idea of doing a series of presentations and hands-on labs. That is really the way to get new users to try Ubuntu.

Service availability is also good. iirc, Billy mentioned that canonical will provide webhosting when the LoCo team application is approved. Nonetheless, my offer still stands regardless of the outcome - though I wish TUSG all the best! :) Those on-list who need hosting for open source stuff are also welcome to ping me :) Cheers.

Most likely they do not (yet) have sufficient knowledge for our well-meaning instructions to be of much value. Basically, they do not know enough to ask effective questions. A year's worth of personalized attention, though, and they should be good to continue on their own using community resources like our site and the Ubuntu wiki. This sort of support is exactly the mission of bringing Ubuntu to non-specialists that is the reason for Ubuntu's existence. I would like to see us reach the point where we can foster the growth of an Ubuntu Service Business, right through to Pte. Ltd. status. We're not there yet, though. But it is something to think about. This is the second request for assistance to hit the mailing list this week. Should we just leave it to each of us to offer the help we think we are able to give? If so, perhaps the person who picks up on it should at least write back to both the requester and the mailing list to indicate that he or she has taken on the job. Perhaps we can set up an "odd jobs" board on our site as well to match requestors to technicians. The question "can we work with them on a weekend?" is a good one, btw, Billy. Not only for us (because we're busy during the week) but also for a business that may be very active during the weekdays. The war stories I could tell about clients fussing and fidgeting over work falling behind because I was working on their kit. *sigh* CDR On Mon, Feb 16, 2009 at 8:28 PM, Maung Myat Thu @ Billy Aung Myint < billy at ubuntu.sg> wrote: > Yoz , > > What we can do will be to compile a FAQ for them I suppose.

Everyone wins. Ubuntu.sg get credit for assisting with the request , your company make money and AKL is happy with getting a helping hand! Excellent. BTW , David and I were talking about having a link on the Ubuntu.sg with local companies providing support for Ubuntu. I think it is a win-win situation for all. So you won't object to us listing your company right? I realised Canonical list only got one ... lol. I am sure we can get more than that.

Weekends and after office hours is possible if we pre-arrange in advance, although we prefer weekdays during office hours.

Here are my proposed Agenda items for the meeting. Also included are directions for finding my flat. The date and time are Saturday 21 Feb 2009 at 14:00. The address is: 69 Hume Ave. #10-01 Hillview Green Singapore 598745 My hand phone is 9189 8599 and the land line is 6401 3177. I wanted to post this as an article on ubuntu.sg [3], but I got "connection reset" errors when I tried to login. It's OK with me if we change the location, but let's decide by this evening so we all have a chance to find out.

If your time is constrained, at least we can make introductions. Be warned that this is going to be a pretty "nuts & bolts" meeting! In this case, the various nuts and bolts will be rather organizational, not technical. Give me a call at 9189 8599 if you have trouble finding the venue. The agenda and directions to the meeting are downloadable here: http://www.scribd.com/doc/12686521/Agenda-and-Directions-22-Feb-2009 or here: http://softwarefreedomday.sg/node/187 (Software Freedom Day is another project with which I am involved.) Please advise me if you will have your own vehicle, as I will need to check with the management office about a parking pass.

We are in agreement that we would like to have an interactive, hands-on experience for our participants. I am copying a number of other interested parties on this email. I welcome (indeed, encourage!) all feedback from all of you, as well as others to whom you forward this email. (Please do so!) It saves me the effort of retyping, and I think we can all benefit from widening the conversation at this point. For the immediate topic of the Ubuntu Workshop at NUS, the next paragraph addresses your concerns as quoted above. After that, I outline our proposal in greater detail. The gist of our proposal is that Team Ubuntu Singapore, in collaboration with linuxNUS, will give a workshop or series of workshops starting with the first session on Wed, 18 March 2009, starting at 16:00 or 17:00. The planned duration would be a two hour session with a short break in the middle. From my experience, it is likely that a number of participants will continue to chat after the official end of the session. However, we should be ready to turn over the seminar room or lab to other users after two hours. If there is interest on the part of the participants for a more in-depth series of workshops, we could continue at the same times on Wednesdays 25 Mar, 1 and 8 April. _Development & Delivery of Workshop(s) - Detailed Outline, Tentative_ Team Ubuntu Singapore (TUSG) had a very productive meeting yesterday. The principle topic of discussion was the proposed workshops. Our partner group Open Source Software Society (OS3) at SMU is also interested working together to do something similar at SMU-SIS. Ultimately, we concluded that we could not make a detailed plan for one or more workshops without first determining the requirements and interests of our audiences. So, here is how I would like to proceed: 1. First, I need to turn several pages of scribbled notes into readable minutes of the TUSG meeting. This will help my group orient. 2. Within a couple of days, I will produce a "lesson plan" for the presentation(s) that will encompass an exhaustive introduction to the installation and use of Ubuntu. I will circulate this through the usual channels, adding topics as those receiving this email offer their feedback. 3. From this lesson plan, we can build a survey for potential participants, as you proposed in a prior email. Vincent, we can consider a similar mechanism for SMU-SIS participants. Alternately, we can depend on the members of linuxNUS, NUS School Of Computing Comp Club, and OS3 to indicate what would be best for their own schools. In our discussion yesterday, TUSG members noted that the different audiences (business students at SMU, comp sci students at NUS) would probably benefit most from workshops which are customized for a particular group. This is a point also emphasized by Vincent during our conversation at OSSPAC last Tuesday. 4. If we decide on a survey of potential participants, then please advise how best to deliver it. Left to my own devices, I would use Google Docs to allow those interested to provide their feedback. If I am going to build a survey, it needs to be available to the potential participants no later than the Sun 1 March. 5. Based on the number of qualified volunteers available from our groups, we will need to set a limit on the number of participants. Ideally, we should have one volunteer for every three or four participants, since we envision a lot of "hands-on" activities at the presentation. We need to define what we mean by "qualified volunteer". Basically, it should be someone that understands Ubuntu well enough to run it from Live CD, Live USB, install it to hard disk and do basic configuration. These people would be available to assist participants over any "rough spots", even if they are not principle presenters at the workshop. We should know the number of qualified volunteers available by Sun 1 March. 6. Finally, with the survey results and number of participants in hand, we can plan and practice the workshop(s). Practice is very important to get the pacing and length of the workshop right. Ideally, we would like to do this practice in the same location where the workshop will be held. Also, other volunteers from our groups that do not want to describe themselves as "qualified" would be extremely useful to us as participants in the practice sessions. After which, they would be qualified!

If we do not perform installations of Ubuntu to hard disks, then use of a Windows-equipped lab would be adequate.

Perhaps that is how we should run the very first one anyway? Then the most interested, usually a smaller group, could return for later workshops with a more hands-on, interactive approach. I am completely open to considering something like that if you and your group think it is a better approach. Really, I need feedback here as to what is most appropriate. Ultimately, though, a smaller group that gets a more intensive experience gains the most from a workshop. It's a trade off between the number of participants and the intensity of the program. We can certainly do it again at a later date if we cannot work all interested parties into the first workshop(s). > It would be nice if you > > could design some electronic posters and etc. so that we could mail > > them out. > > I will certainly be able to produce some publicity material for you.

Come to think of it we don't have alot of marketing people lol ... Rykel , if you are free could you give us a hand with it? Thanks. Possible questions just out of my head 1) Have you heard of Linux? Yes/No 2) Have you used Linux before? Yes/No 3) Have you used Mac OSX before? Yes/No 4) Have you used Firefox web browser before? Yes/No 5) Have you used OpenOffice before? Yes/No 6) Have you used Eclipse IDE before? Yes/No 7) Have you ever programmed using PHP/Perl/Python/Ruby programming languages before? If yes , pls specify which language(s). 8) Have you ever install/administrate web/sql/ftp/dns server before? If yes , pls specify which server(s). We probably need 2 types of surveys ... one for SMU students and another for NUS student , namely IT crowd and biz crowd. Each with , say , 30-50 yes/no qns and one "give us your thought" essay qn. Any other suggestions? regards Billy PS: Our test site is ready at http://thinkfunk.com. Drupal CMS + forum + web based irc , + ubuntu-loco theme .. If you would like to crash it , or try openID , pls register and drop me a mail. I will be happy to admin you. In the meantime , Bangky and I will be porting our site over to new location. Probably , we will have to copy and paste the articles probably so pls do not post anything for now pls.

At Jurong East MRT, there is a notice board where people can post their advertisements or anything for free. My idea is, if we could print out some coloured posters (A4) size and post them onto these notice boards. Of course, you have to fork out a bit of your own pocket money, not neccesarily coloured posters, black and white is good. Important thing is to get the message out. 2 - 4 pieces will be a good start. I'll get some posters up and available on our Team wiki for those who wish to pursue this marketing idea. Any way, we still have the Software Freedom Day poster on the team wiki available for download. What do you guys think? Appreciate your feedback.

Have you asked Ho Fucai about the possibility? For SMU, we have to restrict it to SMU students only. If we intend to have the same session, we can ask Vincent to book for us another room any other day since Vincent is able to secure for us the rooms. For the publicity, we publicise for workshops where outsiders are allowed to join, of course they have to register online to inform us that they are attending. What do you think?

Sorry, my oversight. I suppose that the answer might depend on how many of our own members want to attend, and if they deprive NUS students of participation for lack of seat. Perhaps we should have a separate workshop or workshops for our own members? Could we do it enough in advance that it would serve as practice for the workshops at NUS and SMU? Hold it for our members as a means to recruit them to be support personnel for the workshops themselves? So many things to ponder, I think my pondering unit is overheating! (8-> Seriously, though. For a workshop where only students of a given University can attend, I propose that we publicize only at that university. For a situation where our members can also attend, then yes, let's publicize widely. Currently our definition of "membership" is anyone interested enough to show up. A free workshop is a great way to recruit for TUSG! So, shall I ask Ho Fucai about it? What does everyone besides Heidir and I think?

I agree with you, that workshops for students of NUS and SMU to be publicised within the institution. Whereas we can have a separate one for our team members, even the outsiders.

But once we have more information from NUS and SMU about the audience and their expectations, then I will start doing up the presentation. I propose these ideas for the presentation: NUS: 1) Short introduction 2) Booting up the system 3) Playing around with the examples, music, video, spreadsheet, maybe internet 4) Gaming SMU: 1) Short introduction 2) Benefits of using FOSS for business 3) Security feature and infections 4) Applications available and its alternative 5) Keeping up to date As usual, your feedback are most welcome.

(8-> I still need to write up the meeting notes from Saturday's meeting. I hope I can get to that soon. Basically, we are proposing to give an Ubuntu Workshop for the students of NUS School of Computing and the SMU School of Information Systems. We are now working on a "lesson plan" (what the workshops would cover) and a survey to determine what the right technical level and detail for each group of students would be. We assume that the NUS workshop would be more technical, and the SMU workshop would be more business-oriented. We would like the activities to be as "hands-on" as possible. We are in touch with The Computing Club at NUS as well as linuxNUS, a group of FOSS enthusiasts there. Also the Open Source Software Society (OS3) at SMU. We are looking at Wed, 18 Mar as the date for the workshop at NUS. If there is sufficient interest, that might become a series of more in-depth workshops at NUS on Wednesdays, ending before Read Week begins in April. Other than that, we are also moving our website and converting it to the Drupal CMS. That is going to take a bit of effort, but we have a very kind offer of web hosting for a more performant and reliable hosting service. So, we're pulling up our databases and moving on. Perhaps others can add more to this that escapes me at the moment. I wrote it all down somewhere...

Meeting Minutes 1. Organize a workshop for NUS students (18 March 2009) - Get audience technical level before proceeding with workshop 2. Organize a workshop for SMU students - Get audience technical level before proceeding with workshop 3. Current website is undergoing transition to a new server and a new CMS, Drupal - All contents will be transferred out, will take some time for new server to be up - Streamlining all information - Include a link to business establishments which are able to provide services and support 4. TUSG would like to be re-organized into a proper "Registered Society" hierachy. Currently recruiting for more members who will be able to contribute to the Team. This change will not be immediate, but as the team progresses. Ideas During Emailing And Sharing (IDEAS).....sounds great 1. Execute publicity stunts by printing some posters (A4 sized, colour or monochrome) and paste it onto notice boards all over Singapore. Posters will be provided, printing is not. Posters will be up on the Team Wiki once available. 2. Have a practice session with TUSG team members before the NUS workshop. Preferably at SMU. That's about it. Update me if there are errors.

I have been copying Kheng Hui Yeo (icedwater at gmail.com) and linuxNUS core team (coeteam at linuxnus.org) on most of our emails w/ Ho Fucai of NUS-SoC on the subject. Kheng is also going to contact Ho Fucai of NUS-SoC Computing Club. We ARE suffering the crossing and lagging effects of using email as our only communications channel. For example, Heidir is working on a Google Docs-based survey of users, but yesterday Ho Fucai said that he wanted to do this via email from inside NUS-SoC. I saw that message, but I do not recall if Ho Fucai used "reply all" when he responded to my email. Perhaps not. We need to centralize communications. Otherwise, we are going to duplicate and waste effort, because someone who really does need to know is always going to get left off a CC: line. Google Docs is one option, but there are limits to what those using an email account other than gmail can access. Perhaps one of the first projects for the new TUSG site can be a project management module and mailing list?

They don't need to have gmail account or register with Google to fill up the form, unless they are collaborators. We don't want everyone to have access to private information. Are you proposing that our website have some kind of a document management system something like Google Docs? Why not we leverage on current cloud computing technology instead of building it onto our website? My proposal: For Edittable Documents: Google Docs For PDFs: Team Wiki For Images: Google Picasa IDEAS?

Access control can be fine grained, so that members of our groups (TUSG, linuxNUS, OS3 & NUS-SoC Computing Club) who are concerned with creating, planning and presenting the workshop(s) will have a central point for all planning, communication, information, & documents. For now, I am going to refer to all of these people collectively as the "Ubuntu Workshop developers" just to have a shorter term. > My proposal: > > For Edittable Documents: Google Docs > For PDFs: Team Wiki > For Images: Google Picasa > > IDEAS? To me it feels like too many dispersed pieces. I would like to centralize things so that Workshop developers can go to a single location. Otherwise, we are going to have disconnects as people get left out of the loop or others neglect to check in every online app for updates. GDocs, the wiki and particularly Picasso are good for publishing to the public, but better tools exist for ongoing development of shared documents and processes. However, I'm flexible and I will adapt to what others want to do.

Well done! How about adding a vote button for the articles? So that we may know whether the article is good or plain crap.

So by moving to Google Docs might mean a longer lag time. IMO, there is no technical solution to the i-click-reply-instead-of-reply-all issue. What we need is to remember to hit the reply-all button. I propose linking this mailing list to the forum at new.ubuntu.sg. Durpal has a module "that aims at inserting mailing list discussions in Drupal forums and vice versa". It can be downloaded from [1] and the instruction for setting this up is at [2]. If needed, I can help to set it up. This method is aimed at providing us with a centralise mode of communication. By linking all mailing list messages to the forum, we can get all the context we need there. The mailing list has the possibility to get too long for effective communication. The forum, on the other hand, is a better visual tool as it provides a better context. Moreover, it is common to see forum threads that is more than 30 pages long, while most email thread is shorter than that. Furthermore, this allows us to widen our reach. Email, in this case, will just be a mode of updating the forum. Users can also choose to participate in the discussion directly via the forum. This is beneficial to those that does not subscribe to the list. For issue (2), I am in the favour of setting up a version control system(vcs) such as git or bzr on the site or on launchpad. All work-in-progress-files will be committed via the vcs. Again, this will provide a centralise platform for the team to work on the documents. One advantage of vcs, is that it forces you to provide a changelog, which might be omitted if the document is changed elsewhere. Vcs, in the case of git, can be configured to allow only certain users to sensitive documents. However, I do recognise that we might need to use other plaform to get our data. One example is the use of Google Spreedsheet to get our user registration.

However, Ubuntu in particular and GNU/Linux in general stand on their own merits. There's no need to be antagonistic towards MS or those who use its products.

No need to play to the stereotypes, including the one that GNU/Linux are haughty and think they are better than everyone else. So perhaps something a bit less "edgy"?
