Museum info kiosk question
by Evan Koblentz 07 May '19

07 May '19

The info kiosk that I built ahead of VCF East consists of a micro form factor PC running Linux Mint and the OpenKiosk software, simple HTML4/CSS pages served over our network, and a 27-inch touchscreen monitor. There is a small issue I've been unable to duplicate on demand. Sometimes, if you touch our logo on the content pages just right, it OpenKiosk browser opens our logo as a new page (same tab). I can't figure out what touch gesture makes this happen. I know there are various CSS tricks I could employ, such as disabling image dragging and (probably) disabling image opening ... but first I hope to find out what happened to cause the image to open. Any ideas?

Post your VCF East pictures
by Evan Koblentz 07 May '19

07 May '19

Hey everyone. Another VCF East is in our rearview mirror. Attendance was huge, everyone had a blast, and there were no major fires to put out (logistics-wise) -- so I consider that all awesome!!! Tons of people came up to me and gave me the credit. My answer is always the same: it's because of the dozens of people who participate/volunteer. Many people also said this year was the most relaxed they ever saw me at a VCF East event -- same answer as the other question! We did a lot of things better than this than ever before. In no particular order: A/V, signs, switching to Eventbrite, physical setup, better use of social media, and exhibit diversity. Please post links to your photographs. -- Evan Koblentz, executive director Vintage Computer Federation www.vcfed.org evan(a)vcfed.org (646) 546-9999 VCF is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization

I was very worried about the video quality esp given the weird lighting in that room- but Bill's camera did an excellent job, and the audio is excellent. Great job organizing and documenting these amazing speakers for history. -andy

Re: [vcf-midatlantic] Consignment CTI?
by corey cohen 02 May '19

We would request any donated “money” items be on a separate consignment sheet. This makes it easier at payout. If items don’t sell you have 3 options. Option 1. Take it home Option 2. Give it to VCF (you need approval for this from Evan or myself or we will mark it option 3 automatically) Option 3. Mark it free and I’m sure someone will take it. Not sure what CTI means. Too many acronyms I have to deal with on a daily basis.
