RE: [cross-project-issues-dev] EclipseCon stick

I think it would be cool if there would be a way to download all material that
needs updates compared to the stick at home just before travelling to eclipsecon.
It would also be great to have an ofline version of the program to be downloaded
that would run without any internet connection. At several eclipsecons I
had some problems with internet access in the moment I needed it the
most (e.g in the hotel room where 1h internet access costs more than
one month at home)...

We've been doing that each year since '06.  Last year one of those showcased AMD machines was the server.  Anything you'd attempt to download from eclipse.org would be redirected to the local mirror inside the conference center, same with the presentations.  The primary goal was to speed up downloads and reduce bandwidth at the site, and for eclipse.org.

However, it doesn't occur to everyone to download 4GB of presentations and IDEs while at EclipseCon.

Perhaps we can create a one-file ZIP with everything that would be on this USB key and link to it from the EclipseCON website?

Why not having a server locally to serve downloads and presentations ? The server would be able to download whatever presentation is needed, even at the last minute.

Not sure this is cheaper though. I remember that the Eclipse webmasters had the opportunity to show case their brand new machines last year, or maybe two years ago, so apparently it is possible to come with a server to the conference.

What do you think ?

Hi Team,

I would like to see the presentation materials remain on the stick. This is especially true for the tutorials. The internet service will likely be stellar again this year, but just incase it is down, attendees need to get at the materials quickly.

I have also made use of the stick many times to browse the presentation materials off-line.

If the sticks a 4GB USB keys this year, there should be plenty of space.

Cheers...
Anthony
