| 10:13:29 | FrankW: | _wolf_: Did you promise the SoC students OSGeo tshirts? |
| 10:14:11 | FrankW: | Any thoughts on how we would make such a thing happen? |
| 10:25:14 | FrankW: | Does anyone read Italian well enough to identify the city in which this is being held? |

| 10:38:44 | FrankW: | I have deduced that "Museo Piaggio Pontedera" is the place and that Pontedera is some reasonably well recognise place name in Italy. |
| 10:39:28 | FrankW: | Boy, google does better on Italian to English than on Chinese to English ( for which I use it more extensively ) |

| 11:19:55 | ominoverde: | FrankW: if you need more traslations from italian, just ping me |
| 11:20:33 | FrankW: | I was just posting a brief pointer to the referenced event, so I'm good now - thanks. |
| 11:33:21 | TylerM: | back in a couple hours |
| 11:39:30 | CameronShorter: | Can someone who was at previous foss4g events tell me how many computers were set up in lab sessions. |
| 11:39:38 | CameronShorter: | ( approx is fine ) |
| 11:40:21 | FrankW: | In capetown some of the rooms had 50 computers. |
| 11:40:37 | FrankW: | I think in the past it has been as few as 20 ( when doubling up was expected ). |
| 11:40:41 | CameronShorter: | And there were 6 rooms? |
| 11:40:55 | FrankW: | In capetown? I think there were two main labs at the conference center. |
| 11:41:10 | FrankW: | And another one I didn't see at the hotel, and one ( or more? ) at a university. |
| 11:41:29 | CameronShorter: | In total maybe 100 to 150 computers? |
| 11:41:50 | FrankW: | In capetown I believe they rented approximately 100 computers. |
| 11:42:01 | FrankW: | So I presume the university labs came with their own systems. |
| 11:42:05 | pramsey: | 2007 info should be in the wiki |
| 11:43:46 | CameronShorter: | We will have labs for the first day ( offsite ) workshop in 2009. I'm wondering setting up 1 room with 20 computers is going to be difficult to manage. |
| 11:44:27 | CameronShorter: | running in parallel with other sessions. |

| 11:44:58 | jmckenna: | i thought we dropped these so-called 'labs' ( running concurrently ) ? |
| 11:45:41 | jmckenna: | we can take this discussion into #foss4g to not cause noise |
| 11:45:43 | pramsey: | Setting up a computer room is surprisingly involved. |
| 11:45:48 | jmckenna: | amen |
| 11:46:01 | pramsey: | You need enough power for 20 computers, which means ( usually ) special electrical drops to the room |
| 11:46:04 | CameronShorter: | sure, moving to #foss4g |
| 11:46:17 | pramsey: | you need networkign and hubs and then the outbound bandwidth to handle it |
| 11:48:00 | : | <_wolf_> _wolf_: I sort of did, but only the ones who sent in a final report. I was planning to use the SoC money for that |
| 11:48:10 | : | <_wolf_> FrankW: I mean... |
| 11:49:04 | FrankW: | _wolf_: but who will make it happen? Getting shirts and shipping them is quite a big task ( and can be rather expensive ). |
| 11:50:39 | : | <_wolf_> FrankW: I talked it over with tyler. It can be done. We are talking around 5 t-shirts. I think that ~$10.000 should be able to cover it. right? |
| 11:51:02 | FrankW: | are you willing to do the work? I hesitate to task Tyler with it. |
| 11:51:18 | FrankW: | The expense is certainly managable. |
| 11:51:22 | : | <_wolf_> FrankW: I see it as my job as SoC admin ; ) |
| 11:51:37 | : | <_wolf_> but I'm still waiting for the money |
| 11:51:52 | FrankW: | Ah, ok. Tasking yourself is certainly ok! |
| 11:51:55 | : | <_wolf_> or rather Word from Tyler that we have received it |
| 11:51:57 | FrankW: | Do you mean, the money from Google? |
| 11:52:02 | : | <_wolf_> yes |
| 11:52:09 | FrankW: | I don't see any reason you can't go ahead in advance of that. |
| 11:52:10 | : | <_wolf_> the $500 x 20 projects |
