Hi Neel,

I am from Guwahati myself. I would like to help you plan your launch party. I have conducted install fests myself and give talks on open source technologies and openSUSE. If you need any help from me I can help you. I have spoken two or three occasions ealier.

Yes, internet is a big problem over here. Since the public launch is scheduled on 21st June what you can do is download an openSUSE cd along with a NON OSS cd which I am sure can be downloaded in 20 days since all the downloads are resumable

Hello all, I guess Sankar or Jigish Sir can help with that . If not , let me know I can courier the copies.Definetly it wont take '20' days :-) , say around 3-4 days.Btw, Neel when are you planning to host the event and where ?

However do let me know how do you plan to go about the event

I want to host a openSUSE 11.3 launch part at my institute among my students and friends. Since my place is not having very high speed internet connection it will be difficult for me to download the media on time. Will it be possible for you to send me openSUSE 11.3 media (around 10 nos, or else only two-one each 64bit and 32 bit) so that I can make copies and distribute among the participants? I will be much happy if I get a positive reply.

Neel,

Glad to see you're planning a launch party. Where at?

It is highly doubtful that we will be able to send you 11.3 media in time for the launch. Such media usually is prepared after the launch and you would have to rely on downloading the release as it happens.

Are you able to download from a different location and then go to the launch party? Also you can ask for participants to bring their usb disks to copy the previous downloaded iso image to them.

Take some pictures and is a good idea to have some presentations up there. If you need something more to aggregate value to your event, let us know. best regards and keep in touch CarlosRibeiro
