I did have a full roster, but two people backed out. If you want a place to crash and would like to pay far less than the full price of the room, let me know. With 4 people, we can get the price down to around $50 per person for the whole weekend. Room is non-smoking and will be in a designated quiet area.

All of the beer is now in kegs.  The two beers we made back in February both have very full kegs, which means they absorb CO2 much more slowly. That's okay, because the style for both beers is for lower CO2.  Just the same, I'll keep them under gas until Penguicon, so they'll be better carbonated for the party. I started assembly of the bar.  It will keep the kegs and gas equipment out of sight and out of harm's way, and make a decent pouring surface. The structure can be broken down without tools, and it will fit in the back seat of my car.  I'll finish it with spar urethane, the same finish they use for boats, so when we spill beer it won't stain or damage anything. Finally, the burnbox is nearly ready to go, but I'll probably be poking at it throughout the week.  The hardware is assembled, OS is installed, and I have images for Ubuntu 8.10, FreeBSD 7.1 and OpenBSD 4.4. It wants some software and configuration tweaks, and there are some problems with error handling. I would like to know what people want to see for images on the box. There are a couple of factors though: 1. I have no interest in downloading every obscure Linux distro under the sun.  We have one good distro that will fill the needs of 90% of our guests, so I don't want to waste my time downloading a bunch of extra stuff that won't get used by more than one person. 2. Rescue CDs are good, but we don't need a dozen of them. 3. A CD full of open source software for Windows would be nice to have. If somebody could point me to a good distro I would like that. ------------------------------ Message: 3 Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2009 00:12:17 -0400 From: Richard Houser <<A title=mailto:rick@divinesymphony.net href="mailto:rick@divinesymphony.net">rick@divinesymphony.net</A>> Subject: Re: [GLLUG] Burnbox & Beer progress To: Clay Dowling <<A title=mailto:clay@lazarusid.com href="mailto:clay@lazarusid.com">clay@lazarusid.com</A>> Cc: "<A title=mailto:linux-user@egr.msu.edu href="mailto:linux-user@egr.msu.edu">linux-user@egr.msu.edu</A>" <<A title=mailto:linux-user@egr.msu.edu href="mailto:linux-user@egr.msu.edu">linux-user@egr.msu.edu</A>> Message-ID: <<A title=mailto:c713647a0904192112v7c1d2369p8e08d714a179538d@mail.gmail.com href="mailto:c713647a0904192112v7c1d2369p8e08d714a179538d@mail.gmail.com">c713647a0904192112v7c1d2369p8e08d714a179538d@mail.gmail.com</A>> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Clay, Do we have DVD-R support this time?

Clay, I've never used it, but I had this link to "The Open Disc", which may fit the bill:    <A title=http://www.theopendisc.com/ href="http://www.theopendisc.com">http://www.theopendisc.com</A> The "About" page says: -------------------- OpenDisc is a high quality collection of open source software (OSS) for the Microsoft Windows operating system. The two main goals of the project are:    To provide a free alternative to costly software, with equal or often better quality equivalents to proprietary, shareware or freeware software for Microsoft Windows.    To educate users of Linux as an operating system for home, business and educational use. The majority of programs featured on OpenDisc are also available on Linux. -------------------- This project is a "fork" of 'The Open CD' which, according to the webpage for 'The Open CD', "is no longer under active development".
