We currently migrate to MediaWiki from our old installation, but not all content has been migrated yet. Take a look at the Wiki Team page for instructions how to help or browse through our new wiki at wiki.linux-vserver.org to find the information already migrated.
So here's the idea: get together somewhere for a couple of days, do some work together, get to know each other better in the process.
Sounds important, a work retreat. But my poor choice of words need not deter us from having fun. The idea stems from our booth at [LinuxTag 2006]. A couple of people set up the booth and lots of community members manned it, providing important info to all the good people visiting us.
Some of the booth staff went to [LinuxTag 2006] with some ideas in their mind of projects that might be fulfilled during the linuxtag: trying out newest versions, combining vserver with other tools that were never combined with vserver.
All of these ideas were bunk as there was so much else to do during [LinuxTag 2006]: talk to people, effectively convincing new poeple to try out vserver, talk amongst each other, try out Zeng's zany multi-head VServer-Desktop setup (Kudos!) etc. In short: apart from Milf having designed a nice Picture comparing different virtualization techniques, all we got together was to socialize and to market our nice OS project.
But the ideas are still there, a lot of work can be done, and we all though it was a good idea to have met each other in person.
Some ideas to pursue:
Well, we're all exhausted by LinuxTag?, so not in the next month or so. It might be a good idea to hold such an event before the next tradeshow where we get a booth to prepare materials and tutor booth staff.
It would also be a good idea to hold such an event _after_ a tradeshow to work up the gained experience.
Cemil and BenBen? said they have their company on an old factory floor and could provide sanitation and bedding. That would be a cost-effective solution.
