Event aims to bring Lindependence to one California town
07-15-2008 01:00 PM
An enterprising group has taken on a radical approach in attracting users to Linux: switch a whole town! Dubbed "Lindependence 2008" (a.k.a. LIN08), this event strives to switch citizens in Felton, Calif., for at least a week from Microsoft Windows to Linux. The initiative, loosely led by Ken Starks in Austin, Texas, and Larry Cafiero in Felton, has taken the idea of introducing normal computer users to Linux to screaming heights. By July 28, those in Felton who decide to take the plunge will go Microsoft-free for a week or more.

ECACCESS-EVENT-CREATE(1p)				User Contributed Perl Documentation				 ECACCESS-EVENT-CREATE(1p)

NAME

       ecaccess-event-create - Create an ECaccess Event

SYNOPSIS

       ecaccess-event-create -version|-help|-manual

       ecaccess-event-create [-debug] [-overwrite] [-public] [-comment string] event-name

DESCRIPTION

       Allow creating an ECaccess Event. As a result the event-id is displayed.

       If an event already exists with the same event-name then by default the request is rejected (please check the -overwrite option).

       By default an event is private and restricted to its owner. Access can however be shared with other users thanks to the ecaccess-event-
       grant command or with the -public option which make it visible to all.

ARGUMENTS

       event-name
	       The name of the Event to create.

OPTIONS

       -overwrite
	       Allow deleting an existing event with the same name and create a new one (the identifier will be however different to the original
	       one).

       -public Allow creating a public event which can be used by everybody. In order to have a better tunning of the permissions please keep the
	       event private and use the ecaccess-event-grant command instead.

       -comment string
	       Specify the string to display as a comment for the event.

       -version
	       Display version number and exits.

       -help   Print a brief help message and exits.

       -manual Prints the manual page and exits.

       -debug  Display the SOAP messages exchanged.

EXAMPLES

       ecaccess-event-create -public -comment "My Comment" "My Event Name"

       Create the new event with the name "My Event Name" and the comment "My Comment". This new event is public and other users can subscribe to
       it.
