I'm sure many of us have spare USBs laying around, I still have my ICER one, and a 32GB one just in case. Just have to let everyone know to be ready to format it before anything is put on them. From G.S. On Thu, Sep 8, 2011 at 12:38 PM, Brian O'Shea <bwoshea@gmail.com> wrote:
This is a very good idea. Maybe we could try it with Amazon EC2? I
have had success building an AMI in the past, and it's very easy to do... although not free, and not local. I do though like the idea of thumb drives... and I can't imagine it wouldn't be an interactive workshop!
That might be rad, if the network connection is reasonable-- If we had 50 users for an 8 hour meeting and can swing the cheap option, that's only $35. Show me 50 thumb drives for $35 and I'll show you 2 thumb drives and a pile of plastic. Also windows users could get on with putty, if there are any of those.
To pile onto this, if we choose to go that way I can get MSU to donate a big pile of thumb drives, though they will have some combination of MSU, ICER and Physics Department logos slapped onto them... :-)
