burning CD's

Please guys anyone will burn cd's take care of the following notes:

• BEFORE you start burning, make sure that your source CD is running fine by checking its md5sum as said down on this page.
• Don't burn on a speed higher than 24X, u can make it less than that depending on your hardware.
• While you are burning, check the cd's that you burnt by checking its md5sum, If you are short in time, at least check 25% or 20% of it. If you found errors then you'll have to check them all and mark the bad ones. If the damaged CD's are more than 5% of what you burnt then stop immediately and get the rest of the blanks with you tomorrow.

How to check the md5sum:

Checking a cd's md5sum:

1. put the cd in the cdrom and open a terminal.
2. type the following command:

md5sum /dev/cdrom

1. the output of this command should be exactly:

ace23d1579431ebe767ab8eac25cdbc4   /dev/cdrom

1. If it's different then stop burning immediatly.

Checking a .iso file:

Same way, just change the command to be:

md5sum /path/to/the/file.iso

The output should be the same string as above (of course /dev/cdrom will be changes to where your file is).

Day Organization

• We should have two info desks:
  • At the entrance. This will handle reception and registrations, we need 4-6 volunteers rotated during the day.
  • At the 13th floor. This will handle installation requests and pass people to the 12th floor.

• Registration form should be provided by the ITI and the information will be shared with EGLUG.

• We should t-shirts and badges to identify volunteers.
• We should have stickers (or another way of organizing this) to manage relation between people and their boxes.

تقييم المهرجان

المهرجان كان فيه حاجات كويسة كتير وغلطات كتير.. يا ريت كل الناس تقول رأيها بصراحة ويا ريت برضه اللى يكتب سلبيات يكتب ايجابيات كمان:

الايجابيات:

• المتطوعون قاموا بأنقاذ الموقف و شغلوا الجدول بشكل صحيح قبل ما كل حاجه تضيع
• قدرنا بشكل لا بأس به اننا نستوعب العدد الكبير اللي هجم علينا مره واحده
• فكره ان متطوع يجمع الناس في ساحه الكافيتيريا و يكلمهم كانت فكره ممتازه
• في أكتر من متطوع قدم محاضرات غير اللي كان محضرها و ده ساعد على انقاذ الموقف
• في ناس أتطوعت بأجهزتها عشان المحاضرات و محاضرات التنصيب و ده كان ممتاز لأننا نسينا نعمل حسابنا !
• فريق ال Installation عمل شغل رائع يشكر عليه على الرغم من مشاكل الهاردوير و الاسطوانات التالفه و عدم وجود أنترنت و عدم وجود وسيله لتنظيم أستقبال الأجهزه
• قدرنا نحصل على قاعات إضافيه من المعهد
• حضور عدد من أعضاء هيئه التدريس في الجامعه
• حملة الدعايه كانت ناجحه نظرا لعدد و تنوع الحضور
• فكره المقاله التي تم تعليقها على الحائط كانت ممتازه
• قلة عدد الاسئلة و المشاكل فى ال forum فى الغالب يدل على نجاح المهرجان فى هدفة الاساسى و هو مساعدة المبتدئين و ثبات النسخة المعدلة
• تنوع المحاضرات و الاقبال العالى عليها
• البنية التحتية للشبكة كانت جديده جدا ولم نواجة مشاكل فى فريق الانستلشن لكن سرعة الانترنت للشبكة السلكية كانت غير كافية لمتطلبات الفريق

السلبيات:

• مكنش فيه استقبال منظم للناس اللى داخله فى مدخل المكان و دا كا بيسبب ان الناس فى أوقات كتير كانت بتلف حوالين نفسها و متعرفش تروح فين
• الأسطوانه كان فيها شويه حاجات مش مظبوطه زى تعريف كروت نفيديا اللى عمل مشاكل كتير جدا لفريف التنصيب و فى منها متحلش لحد ما اليوم خلص
• نسخ الأسطوانات فى اخر يوم مخلاش فى وقت لفحص الأسطوانات و كده كان فى اسطوانات بايظه وقعت فى ايد الناس و مكناش عارفين نطلعهم من بعض
• المحاضرات مواعيدها اتلخبطت كذا مره و دا ادى ان ناس كتيره فاتتها حاجات كانت عايزه تحضرها
• جدول المحاضرات و التنظيم الداخلي كان فاشلا تماما!
• عدد كبير من المتطوعين المسؤولين عن تنظيم المكان أختفوا بدون أنذار!
• الشبكه الداخليه و اللاسلكيه في المعهد كانت لا تعمل
• لم نحصل على الطاولات المطلوبه لأقامة العروض الموجوده في الجدول إلا متأخرا جدا
• قاعتان من خمس قاعات لم نجد فيها كابلات البروجكتور و لم نحصل عليه إلا بعد و قت طويل
• المكان كان محدودا مقارنه بالعدد الكبير من الحضور
• لم يكن هناك تحديد دقيق و منظم لمهام كل فرد، كثيرا ما كنا نبحث عن الشخص المسؤول عن أمر ما دون معرفه من هو هذا الشخص !
• عدم وجود تنسيق داخلي مع أفراد الأمن داخل المعهد مما زاد من تخبط الزوار
• تبديل المحاضرات في المكان الواحد كان فكره سيئة للغايه
• عدم وجود وصف دقيق للمحاضرات، خصوصا المتقدمه منها، مما ادى إلى حضور غير منظم و غير واعي للمحاضرات
• التأخر في طباعه الجدول
• لم يتم تنبية الحاضرين بانهم يتركوا بارتشن فاضى, بل ان احدهم قال لى ان فريق الدعاية بهندسة الاسكندرية لم يقل له و قاله (حسب كلامه) "ملكش دعوه تعالى انت و احنا حانعملك كل حاجه"
• تتزيل اللينكس و حل مشاكل الاجهزه للحضور فى غرفه الانستلشن كان فى اغلب الاوقات بياخد وقت طويل و وصل لى عدة ساعات (حوالى 4 ساعات) لبعض الحاضرين
• قليل من فريق الانستلشن تقريبا لم يفعلوا شيأ سوى حل مشاكل اجهزتهم الشخصية او الفرجة ليس اكثر طول فتره المهرجان
• قلة الخبرة أدت لى تقديم بعض الحضور تنازلات للحصول على اللينكس مثبت مثل الاستغناء عن نظام التشغيل الاخر المثبت بالكمبيوتر و بعضهم لم يكونوا satisfied فى النهاية
• لم يتم اعطاء فريق الانستلشن حقة بالرغم من اسم المهرجان installfest , فاكثير من المتطوعين قليلى الخبره فى التعامل مع مشاكل البارتشن و الدريفرات و استفسارات الحاضرين

الاقتراحات للمرات اللى جاية:

• وضع لوحات ارشاديه لمكان كل حاجه من الأول
• تنظيم جدول للمحاضرات و الإلتزام به منعا للخبطه
• تعديل الإسطوانه قبل المعاد بفتره عشان الناس تلحق تجربها و تعرف الغلطات و تلحق تصلحها و ماأظنش إن فى طريقه تانيه لإكتشاف الغلطات غير بالتجربه الكتييير
• بدء نسخ الإسطوانات بدرى
• الاختيار الجيد للمتطوعين الفنيين , او تدريبهم جيدا
• اضافة نسخ اخرى لفريق الانستلشن لنعطى الحضور حرية الاختيار حسب متطلبتهم و احتياجتهم (مثل نسخ للاجهزة القديمة)
• أقترح وضع صفحة FAQ او help file للحضور لمساعدتهم فى تجاوز مشاكل ما بعد الانستلشن
• تصوير بعض sessions بالفيديو و عمل webcast لها
• الأستعداد بشكل جيد و جدي لمشاكل الهاردوير المعتاده , الوايرلس مثلا
• تثبيت الجدول قبل المعاد بشكل كافي
• وضع ملخص يوضح محتوى كل محاضره مع تحديد المتطلبات الأساسية للحضور
• التأكد من جدية المتطوعين و إلتزامهم بأدوارهم
• تعيين الأدوار التنظيمية للمتطوعين قبل المعاد بشكل كافي
• السعي قدر الأمكان لتجهيز المكان قبل المعاد بليله على الأقل
• التأكد من الامكانيات التقنيه للمتطوعين المسؤولين عن التنصيب بشكل خاص
• تحضير عرض تقديمي بسيط يشرح التعديلات البسيطه و البرامج اللتي يتم تنصيبها بعد التنصيب مع سكربت بسيط ليقوم بعمل هذه الخطوات اوتوماتيكيا
