[mythtv-users] Worldwide MythTV Installation Party

[Cecil Watson]

Howdy,

A few weeks ago, a user posted on the KnoppMyth forum about a KnoppMyth 
Installation Party.  Great idea I thought.  However he is in Europe and 
I cannot say I have any plans of going to Europe within the next 9 
months...  At any rate, I thought why not parties all over the world?

So, we started chatting it up on the KnoppMyth forum and we have folks 
interested hosting parties!  We (I actually) decided on Saturday, 
February 16th as the day of the party.

Well, I thought...  Why not open this up.  Although KnoppMyth would 
be/have been the installation method at WKIP, the focus would be on 
MythTV.  So, I've chatted with Dennis (MythDora) and Dave (Mythubntu) 
about a Worldwide MythTV Installation Party.  Both liked the idea!

The idea is simple, get together and hopefully introduce new people to 
MythTV.  Here is what we have in mind:

Each location would have a host.  The host would be responsible for 
finding a location for the party.  Ideally, the location would have 
Internet access, cable and hopefully be able to get a good OTA signal. 
Enough room to work for folks that would be building systems, etc.

At the party, MythTV would be installed using your distro of choice.

It would be nice to have folks step up and do things like demo editing, 
achieving, etc.

So, what does everyone thing?  Anyone interested in hosting a party?

I'll create an area on the KnoppMyth forum dedicated to the party this 
week.  While that area will be open for all to browse, you will have to 
register to post.  This is to avoid spam.  If anyone has a better idea 
on organizing a site with info on the party, please speak up.

Regards,

Cecil
