Ideas for eth0

Here we can post and discuss ideas for the august event

• VOIP Network for all visitors including a number list on the intranet. Guests can either use a softphone or a hardphone to communicate.

- why not ask eventphone.de to come set it up? DECT ftw :)
- we're problably too late now and they cost... maybe in 2009?
- @ ccc, we had a landline into out vilage. this could be a quite cheap and fun solution. cable distance shouldn't be a problem.

• Wireless Mesh network
• Familyvillage with kindergarten (like WTH and CCC)
• Campshop with general camping supplies
• IT/Game market
• Atheist village for people who couldn't care less about the os of choice. (as long as it fits the purpose)

- Atheist? I think you mean "agnostic". Atheists are sure there is no god, agnostics say you 
  cannot be sure what is best (be it god, OS or BOFH)
- While some people treat OS'ses as god, it can be seen as atheist imho
- certainly, but "atheist" means certainty there is no god. The computing equivalent would be certainty there is no OS. That
  makes no sense at all. Agnostic however exactly covers what you are trying to say: that one cannot say one particular OS
  is best.
- Somewhat Atheist is correct, an atheist denies there a a need of choice for an specific OS. [--Zircon 23:07, 14 January 2008 (CET)Zircon]
- somewhere i can see a lecture in here about computing, culture and theologie ;-) nice to have sparked this --Bee 13:03, 17 January 2008 (CET)

• Put an addition to the ticket for only a few euro's per day (lower than the normal price) to have a daymeal
• Swapping tent for 'ye olde' hardware (dump and/or pickup)

- wel even oppassen dat het geen milieustraat wordt en bedenken hoe we de afvoer doen (electrische spullen kunnen gratis naar de stort hiero)

Naming convention?

So, what name are we going to use for the event in textual form? I have seen these mutations on the wiki:

• ETH0
• ETH-0
• eth-0
• eth0

I think, eth0 will be the best name, because this also is the capitalization used by Linux:

# ifconfig eth0 | head -n 1
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:11:22:33:44:55  

Furthermore, I think it will be wise to make the name bold, to emphasize it.
