- BYOL- (bring your own laptop)
- Entry fee: Donation based: James offers his time and Foulab the space - you give what you think is right ;-)
Day 1: GNU/Linux install fest and beginner tutorial
-
“Late Morning” -10:00:
- Installfest: Bring your own machine. Install GNU/Linux on your machine.
-
Afternoon-ish: 15:00 GNU/Linux intro-intermediate tutorial.
- Intro: (1-1.5 hours max)
- Intermediate: (1-2 hours depending on skill level and interest)
Day 2: Intermediate/Advanced Puppet tutorial
- “Later Morning” 11:00 (we’re sysadmins, right)
- Sysadmin/Devops/Puppet: Bring your own machine, or bring your machine back.
The general idea is that if you’re an ultra beginner, you come at the very start, and if you’re more intermediate and already have a Linux box, you can come in later on. Linux comfortable users who want to do some puppet/devops stuff can come only for day 2. Ultra beginners who aren’t ready for puppet or sysadmin-ing can only come for day 1.

About the artist
“A musician at heart, inventor born of curiosity, and innovator by necessity, I believe the world calls him the ‘Godfather of Controllerism’ for damned good reasons”. -John Tackett, Crowd Wire
Historically there are only a handful of artists who have pushed the limits both with their music and with the instruments of its creation. What Bach was to the keyboard, what Hendrix was to the guitar, this is what Moldover is to the controller. Disillusioned with “press play DJs”, fans from all walks are drawn to Moldover shows, eager to witness electronic music’s return to virtuosity, improvisation, and emotional authenticity. Dig deeper into Moldover’s work and you’ll uncover a subversive cultural icon who has redefined physical media with his Instrument-Albums, revolutionized musical collaboration with his custom Jamboxes, and is inspiring an entire generation of forward thinking music-makers by openly sharing his methods and madness.
