I like that! Any other skunks and skunkettes interested in being part of this launch party? Lets try and get the logistics and see if this is doable.
Singh,
We can set the pace for SA and Egypt!
What we would need for the Release Party:
1. Debian Users
2. Debian users who can bake and theme a cake "debian squeeze"
3. Bring your bottle(s) - wine & spirits, beers, soda, water
4. Bring your laptops, netbooks - any number of blank CDs/DVDs you can
lay your hands on
5. Music - dancehall, locals, techno, oldschool, new school(if there's
such a thing)
6. A loud humorous skunkspokesperson - to be MC
7. Nyam Chom, Koroga, Sandwiches.... whatever anyone can contribute to get.
What we would do:
1. Burn CD/DVDs from a reliable downloaded ISO source
2. When some people start getting a buzz or there's that level of
noise indicating that people are socializing - then all the Debian
users cut the cake and someone(probably the eldest, debian user)
clicks on the Finish Installation button
3. Organize how the CDs/DVDs can be distributed throughout colleges
and universities - emphasis on getting the new user to install the
release(depending on the available hardware specs they have), use of
'different' internet browsers like iceweasel and word
processing/spreadsheet apps - openoffice, abiword etc..etc installing
wvdial and connecting their installations to the internet
and Voila! - first African country to get listed here
