From becker at scyld.com Fri Oct 5 11:42:19 2007 From: becker at scyld.com (Donald Becker) Date: Tue Nov 9 01:14:21 2010 Subject: [Beowulf-announce] 9th Annual Beowulf Bash: Announcement and sponsorship opportunity Message-ID: Ninth Annual Beowulf Bash We are putting together our annual Beowulf Bash. It will take place at its traditional place and time: during the week of the IEEE Supercomputing Conference. This year SC07 is in Reno NV during the week of Nov 10-15 We are trying to keep a casual event with broad sponsorship. The attraction is the other attendees, rather than high-end food or entertainment. Read that as "beer, snacks, and people you always wanted to talk to." We are tenatively planning the party for Tuesday or Wednesday evening 6-8pm in the downtown Reno area. Probably Third Street Blues (formerly The Blue Note) or a similar low-key bar. (BTW, if any reader knows of other vendor events that we should avoid, please let me know.) If your company (or even you as an individual) would like to help sponsor the event, please contact me, becker@beowulf.org Sponsors - get their name up in lights (Errrmm, or maybe just vinyl signs... you bring a sign, there will be some ambient light.) - are part of the brief greeting in the middle of the party. - have the opportunity for technical, hands-on demos at the bash - have their logos on the beowulf.org site through the end of SC07, and on the 2007 yearbook page after the event. -- Donald Becker becker@scyld.com Penguin Computing / Scyld Software www.penguincomputing.com www.scyld.com Annapolis MD and San Francisco CA From becker at scyld.com Fri Oct 5 12:26:22 2007 From: becker at scyld.com (Donald Becker) Date: Tue Nov 9 01:14:21 2010 Subject: [Beowulf-announce] BWBUG / Beowulf Users Group meeting Oct 9 2007 at Georgetown Message-ID: Baltimore Washington Beowulf User Group Meeting Date: 9 Oct 2007 at 2:30 pm - 5:00pm.

The reasons are varied, and not always legitimate, but, other than some sort of obvious "taking a picture of my friends at the table" will typically result in the manager asking you to stop (or worse). see, e.g., http://lessig.org/blog/2003/05/dear_starbucks_say_it_aint_tru.html >On Sun, 2007-10-07 at 00:24 +0200, Vincent Diepeveen wrote: > > Any chance of us in Europe seeing something of this online in a > live webcam > > broadcast? > > > > Thanks, > > Vincent > > ----- Original Message ----- > > From: "Donald Becker" > > To: "Beowulf Mailing List" ; "Beowulf Announcement > > mailing list" > > Sent: Friday, October 05, 2007 8:42 PM > > Subject: [Beowulf] 9th Annual Beowulf Bash: Announcement and > > sponsorshipopportunity > > From gerry.creager at tamu.edu Sat Oct 6 20:07:06 2007 From: gerry.creager at tamu.edu (Gerry Creager) Date: Tue Nov 9 01:14:21 2010 Subject: [Beowulf-announce] Re: [Beowulf] 9th Annual Beowulf Bash: Announcement In-Reply-To: <1191711308.697.75.camel@e521.site> References: <001001c80867$a1f48730$0900a8c0@objection> <1191711308.697.75.camel@e521.site> Message-ID: <47084D5A.1030702@tamu.edu> I can bring my Sprint 3G card...

It will take place, as usual, during the IEEE Supercomputing Conference. This year SC07 is in Reno Nevada during the week of Nov 10-16 Unlike the vendor parties, the attraction is the conversations with other attendees. We will have beer and light snacks, and a short greeting by the sponsors at 7pm. We venue is the one we suggested earlier: 6-8pm Tuesday evening at Third Street Blues in downtown Reno. This is close to several of the conference hotels, but you'll need one of the conference shuttle buses from the Sparks convention center. 3rd Street Blues 125 W 3rd St Reno, NV Next to the ElDorado Casino, or on-street parking readily available. If your company (or even you as an individual) would like to help sponsor the event, please contact me, becker@beowulf.org before November 2. Our current sponsor list is Penguin/Scyld (organizing sponsor) http://penguincomputing.com AMD http://amd.com Intel http://intel.com NVIDIA http://nvidia.com Terascala http://terascala.com Sponsors - get their name up in lights (Errrmm, or maybe just signs. Bring a sign, and we'll do our best to make certain the room is not too dark.) - are part of the brief greeting in the middle of the party. - have the opportunity for technical, hands-on demos at the Bash - have their logos on the beowulf.org site through the end of SC07, and on the 2007 yearbook page after the event. -- Donald Becker becker@scyld.com Penguin Computing / Scyld Software www.penguincomputing.com www.scyld.com Annapolis MD and San Francisco CA
