# OnFOSS LAN organization
The idea is to bring players together to play multiplayer open source games that may not be widely known. The event is about inclusion so the games should be available on all 3 major platforms (Linux, MacOS, Windows). An event will take multiple hours, or span over days, depending on the schedule.

### Test your games!
All onFOSS-LAN games needs to be tested beforehand! Like, setting up a server and try to connect to it. Also check if there is a release for Linux/MacOS/Windows, because self-compiling should not be mandatory.

### Choose your team
You can totally do a onFOSS-LAN on your own, however, you are limited to your own resources! For example, you can not managing players and also do a live-stream. If you plan a tournament you need somebody to help out organizing the groups and peoples. Get a dedicated streamer, advertiser, helping hands or anything else to accomplish bigger events.

### Set a date
Choose a date that suites you, the hoster! You have to organize the event, so you should be totally free! Also check if there are major holliday seasons that may decline the number of attendances. An event should ideally be announced well in advance (at least two weeks, for bigger events even a month) so that people can keep their schedule clear. Optionally, times can be polled in the main [Matrix](https://matrix.to/#/#xmpp_onfoss_conference.hribhrib.at:matrix.org)/XMPP (xmpp:onfoss@conference.hribhrib.at?join) channel.

### Choose the games
The list of games to be played can be up to the host, but good ideas can be had by asking the community. That is the [Matrix](https://matrix.to/#/#xmpp_onfoss_conference.hribhrib.at:matrix.org)/XMPP (xmpp:onfoss@conference.hribhrib.at?join) channel again but also [FreeGameDev.net](http://FreeGameDev.net) is a good place.

### Live-Streaming
Live-streaming is a great addition to the event. Some players don't want to play a particular game or not at all, but want to "be part of the event". So streaming suites perfectly for that cases. Also, if you plan a tournament it is highly recommended to stream it! If you have a dedicated streamer, you may check if you get some game developers to have an interview or talk about the games they developed.

### Schedule the event
There should be a schedule with what games are played at what time so that participants will have the time to install the games beforehand. There can also be time set aside for free play where everybody decides on the spot which game they'd like to play. It would be one of the games already installed on the server. Also plan for breaks! It is higly recommended to do a 15-30 min break at least every 4 hours!

### Advertising
Once a time and list of games is set, advertise this in multiple places. Make sure the time is in UTC since people will join from many different time zones. Example of places to advertise:
