KnoppMyth event round-up

[Colin McGregor]

Just to sum up what happened at 169 Eastern today with
the KnoppMyth install event.

I had expected maybe 5 people to show (seven or so
people had expressed interest before the event, and I
thought 1-2 would drop out at the last minute). Now, I
am not sure as to a total body count, as some people
came/went and I had my hands full. Still there were
points where I counted 12 people in the room. I had a
box to show-off a basic KnoppMyth install and there
were 3 other machines that came into the office (Hugh
I gather brought more than one machine down in his
car, but he only brought one PC into the office).

There was some trouble with the Internet connection
into the room we were in, and I am afraid I didn't
have time to diagnose the problem then/there. So,
limited  demo of the TV listing and MythWeather.

There was some interest in doing another similar
event, and I would be game to do that, just not in the
centre of the city (Seneca College? Centennial
College? IBM up on Steeles? somewhere in the west end
of the city?).

I did pick-up some goodies for the group (a box of
no-name donut holes, some coffee, some milk, a jug of
spring water) which all seemed to go over well.

Turns out Linuxcaffe would have been a problem site
for this event, just too small for the size of crowd
that showed up. My original plan was to have done this
in the lobby of 169 Eastern, in the end we used the
lunchroom which was a good size venue given the number
of people that were there.
