Development Meeting in the course of WorkSessionsExtremadura2007
The FAI development team would like to help get the Extremadura Custom Distribution installed with FAI. We'd like to go there and check:
Does GnuLinex have an own Binary Repository, so is the whole distribution a Debian which is recompiled from source and some stuff added/changed, or is it only Debian Etch Binaries with some additional packages and configurations?
- if the first (own binary versions): how is the base system bootstrapped, what else is needed to get it installed?
- If the latter: what makes the Gnulinex distribution special (or: what is needed to make a Debian Install a Gnulinex install)
This information is all it needs to create a basic FAI configuration to install Gnulinex. Some testing and and tinkering will surely be necessray to get this running nice, but it should be possible to get this going in a long weekend.
Then, when we get there fast enough, we can also give some training/introduction for gnulinex/Extremadura people on the general use of FAI - together with the previously created config they shoud then be able to add their specific configs and special systemtypes, and get their systems installed automatically in a flexible way.

Travel Information
Registered participants will have been sent their flight information.
We're still waiting to get some further information about travel from MAD airport to the final destination. As we've been told the meeting is together with debianEdu and CustomDebian teams, this info might help:
Most important, still open questions:
- How to get from airport to merida?
