The Ubuntu New Jersey Local Community Team invites you to our December Linux LAN Party!
The LAN Party will be held on Saturday, December 22nd, from noon until midnight (though people are welcome to stay later), in Cherry Hill, New Jersey (an address will be emailed to those that sign up). We'll be playing a number of different games, both to bring us together as a group, and to show newcomers that Linux gaming is alive and well. More details and a sign up form after the jump.

Games we're going to be playing:

FPS

  • Sauerbraten
  • OpenArena
  • Urban Terror
  • Warsow
  • World of Padman
  • Alien Arena
  • Nexuiz

Action

  • Armagetron Advanced/GLtron

Strategy

  • Bos Wars
  • The Battle for Wesnoth

More games may be added to the list later, and more games may be added during the event. Installers for all games will be available on the LAN.

Though Linux, especially Ubuntu, is encouraged, all games we will be playing have both a Linux and Windows version. Note: while many of the games do, not all games have an OS X version. We strongly recommend that you have a dual-booted version of Linux if you are bringing an Apple computer, but Windows will also work, if need be. In any case, we will have people on hand who can help install Linux for anyone who would like to.

What You Should Bring

Please bring your own computer. If you are signing up, and cannot bring a PC, please make note of this in the "What You're Bringing" section (ie, not a computer). We may have extras available, but they will be limited.

If you're bringing a laptop, please remember your power cord. You will probably want to bring a mouse.

If you're bringing a desktop, please bring a monitor (preferably a flat panel LCD), a keyboard, and a mouse.

Please bring an ethernet (network) cable (5-15 ft in length). Some ethernet will be available, and wireless will be available.

Please bring headphones. Speakers cannot be used for games -- if you don't have headphones, we'll have to ask you to mute sound.

Please have money for both lunch and dinner (max 10 for each, though probably less).

If you're considering staying the night, please bring a sleeping bag and pillow.
