<h1>Setting up a minimal Expo laptop</h1>
<h2>Overview</h2>
<p>If you are new to expo please use the <em>expo laptop</em> first. You don't <em>need</em> to use your own laptop - which takes most of a day to do it properly.
<h2>What you can do from any laptop</h2>
<p>There is a lot you can do without installing any software on your own machine. Using a browser, you can logon to the Expo online system ("the website", also known as "troggle") as user 'expo' at <a href="/accounts/login/">the Troggle User Login page</a>. (Ask another expoer for the 'cavey:beery' password.) You can:
<ul>
<li>Edit any HTML page in the online handbook: correct errors, update phone numbers
<li>Edit existing Survex files in our complete Loser cave data repository
<li>Create new Survex files - a template is provided - for new cave passages
<li>Edit the cave description and entrance description text for existing caves
<li>Create entirely new caves in the system by filling out online forms
</ul>
<p>And using email to send the results to an expo nerd, you can:
<ul>
<li>Type up your logbook entry for any trip you do (surface or underground), but please use <a href="../logbooks.html">our standard format</a>
<li>Upload GPS tracks from your phone
<li>Send photos of cave entrances and cavers doing mad things
<li>Sketch rigging plans on paper, photograph them, and email them
<li>Regularly take photos of pages of '<a href="../bierbook.html">the bier book</a>' and 'the sesh book' and email them, to protect against accidental 'G&ouml;ssering'
<li>Regularly take photos of pages of '<a href="../logbooks.html">the handwritten expo logbook</a>', also to protect against accidental 'G&ouml;ssering' but also against permanent loss. We are missing several vital logbooks from past expos through carelessness.
</ul>
<p>and of course using your phone or laptop you can update entries on expo antics on public forums such as ukcaving.
<p>We are actively working on increasing the number of expo activities that can be done with just a browser and no installed software.
<h2>Your own laptop</h2>
<p>If you are new to expo please use the <em>expo laptop</em> first. You don't <em>need</em> to use your own laptop - which takes most of a day to setup completely.
