Thinkpad notebook and É WiFi adapter

2013-07-01 17:55:45 -- Eugene Gorbunoff [ecomstation.ru]

What to do if your notebook is equipped with unsupported WiFi-adapter (not supported in eComStation)?

You can install other adapter, for example: Intel PRO/Wireless 4965AGN. It should have FRU number (manufactured for Thinkpad). Your laptop will stop boot with this adapter because it has White list (all unauthorized devices are blocked)

Many thousands of Windows users have similar problems with white list, they flash patched BIOS in this case. You can find BIOS with removed White list in the Internet. Search: google -> thinkpad x301 white list BIOS

Share links to patched BIOS with other eCS users: Thinkpad BIOS without white list

Warpstock Europe 2013: 2-nd day

2013-05-25 13:34:36 -- Eugene Gorbunoff [ecomstation.ru]

We continue listen to Warpstock Europe 2013:

  • Yes, less visitors. It's clear that Warpstock should change.

Warpstock Europe - How to improve the conference?

2013-05-24 19:27:23 -- Eugene Gorbunoff [ecomstation.ru]

We all expect that the next confrence to attract more visitors, more speakers. How to change Warpstock conference and make it successful, make it "grow"?

Step 1: The conference starts in 12 monthes before D-Day. The developers declare what they will make during the year. And declare what presentations they will show.

The conference is not simple meeting of people, this is the meeting of people which were working during the whole year and preparing materials for the conference.

// The speakers don't describe something what exist and was created by other people. They make work by themselves and then present the results of own work.

Conclusion: the list of presentations should be available in advance, in 6 monthes. So the visitors can prepare for the trip, prepare questions. And the speakers have time to make efforts to complete the projects for D-Day.

Fix 2: It's very-very hard listen the presentations in the second part of day. All people are tired, sleepy and go away too early. How to fix this? It's necessary make other kind of meetings. For example, workshops with the developers. No slides, alive chat only. Everybody can make the questions and discuss the detailes. Let's say, the workshops are organized in 2 rooms and five developers sit there.

More fixes -- Other suggestions how to improve the conference were mentioned in the previous messages: WSE 2011/2012 announcements
