Axiom was a BIG hit! Everyone at the presentation (about 20 people, maybe 1/2 university students) expressed great interested in Axiom. And when I said I had 5 copies of a CD to give away containing Axiom, the Doyen Wiki interface, and a bootable linux, the CDs disappeared ¨like hot cakes¨. In fact the computer science department immediately made 10 more copies of the CD for me to distribute and these where all distributed after my next talk. BTW, my intended live demo of the physics calculations in Maple failed during my 2nd talk because of a problem in the Maple license manager. I had removed the wireless lan card from my laptop because I didn´t need it during the demo. I did know it at the time, but this entirely disabled my license for Maple! My conclusion (which I also included in my talk) was that this was just another demonstration of why one should prefer open source software. So if anyone else is planning to distribute copies of the DoyenCD at a conference be sure to bring lots of copies! This CD is a great tool with which to promote Axiom. Great work guys!

I expect to burn about 150 depending on time and success rate. It would be great if we had a printable page that contains "introductory information" that I can put in the envelope with the CD. It should just point out how to start it, where to find installable programs and what the root password is. It would help to mention CAISS. In fact, if Gilbert agrees you could send me a copy of the page on CAISS letterhead and I can make copies for insertion. That's up to Gilbert but I think the exposure at ISSAC is important both for your careers and CAISS. I'm going to use the HP LightScribe CD (the one that burns a label directly onto the CD) so it all looks professional. Assuming you have no objections the CD will have both of your names burned in front surface. Let me know if this is ok. --t

I think BitTorrent? is a good way to distribute very large files likedoyen-42206.iso
. BitTorrent? includes a method
similar to MD5SUM to ensure the authenticity of the downloaded
file.
I recently setup BitTorrent? servers at both axiom-developer and the axiom.risc mirror to distribute the binary installer file for the Windows version of Axiom (see AxiomBinaries?). I would be glad to help someone do this for the DoyenCD? if there is some interest.
