Folks: Details will follow as I work them out, but this is just to remind you that yes, there *will* be a Tahoe-LAFS Sixth Birthday Celebration next Saturday, October 27, 2012, in Boulder, Colorado and possibly elsewhere. I'm going to ask the Boulder Hackerspace if we can use their space. It is apparently populated with 3-D printers and computer-controlled machining tools, which is awesome. b: Shawn suggested using Google Hangouts to connect party locations. I think that is a great idea! Everyone get Google Hangouts working before Saturday. I also strongly recommend the use of projectors to make the screen real-estate be shared state among all the participants (who are physically in one room). In contrast, laptop screens are not good for physical sharing, and parties with laptop screens tend to result in people reading their private email and stuff, where parties with projector screens tend to result in people doing things that are more interesting to everyone else present. So, I really want to borrow at least two projectors for the Boulder location. Anybody in Boulder have projectors we can use? I am thinking of having LeastAuthority.com pay to make t-shirts that say Tahoe-LAFS on them, and maybe "6th Birthday Party, Oct 27, 2012" in small print somewhere. Want one? I'll pay the cost to manufacture and deliver such a t-shirt to the first few [*] people who ask for one! To get one: 1. sign up for https://LeastAuthority.com service (which actually costs you *only* for the space you use, so it isn't a big commitment), and 2. agree to show up at a Physical Tahoe-LAFS Birthday Party Location to receive your t-shirt. Regards, Zooko Wilcox-O'Hearn Founder, CEO, and Customer Support Rep https://LeastAuthority.com [*] "The first few" = until I run out of t-shirts. I haven't yet decided how many to make. _______________________________________________ tahoe-dev mailing list tahoe-dev@tahoe-lafs.org https://tahoe-lafs.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tahoe-dev ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Eugen* Leitl <a href="http://leitl.org">leitl</a> http://leitl.org ______________________________________________________________ ICBM: 48.07100, 11.36820 http://www.ativel.com http://postbiota.org 8B29F6BE: 099D 78BA 2FD3 B014 B08A 7779 75B0 2443 8B29 F6BE
