Install Fest - 2007

[Jon Moore]

Looking for some feedback on when the InstallFest should go down. I'm
hoping to kick something off during October. Are there any days that
work out best for you guys?

The event will take place in Evansville, IN and last around 4 to 5
hours. Some media will be provided, but it will be a "bring you're
own Computer, Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse + Linux CD"

It's a good time to either get GNU/Linux up and running on your
computer, or get help with setting up some more advanced features.

More info on the event will come later, right now though, I'm just
looking to see what kind of interest there is. So, put some feedback
in the bag, and let me know what you thank.

I'm planning on showing up Saturday. I'd say part of the meeting should be to discuss some of this stuff for the install fest. Are we planning anything else for the meeting?

On the topic of the install fest, we should have a contest to see who can get the oddest piece of hardware to run linux. I want to see Arch on a TI-83...

Nothing is really being planned for this Saturday.  However, storage has been something I've been working with lately, so I'm sure I will be talking about filesystems, partitions, and storage solutions :).  If the library works out as a meeting location, I want to start getting more involved in planning meetings.  Having a topic, etc.  Here is a good time to plug:  if you have topics you want to hear / talk about... post them here, and lets see what kind of reaction they get.  I'm up for almost anything.

That is a good idea for the install fest.  We can start planning it at this meeting.

I plan on being there Saturday too.  I'll be game for whatever as far as topics go.  The install fest sounds like a worthy one to me.  I also think a contest doesn't sound like a bad idea.  Although, with a contest, prizes like INKY t-shirts or something to give to the winner(s) would be in order. - Jeremy

Install Fest sounds like a good deal. I don't think I would be to good in the contest but, I'd give it a try.
I'll be heading to the meeting saturday, its going to be my first one. I have taken a real interest in Linux so I am trying to pick up as much as I can.

How does October 20th sound as a date for the Install Fest?

I could probably swing that, just remember that several of us have a class on Saturday mornings.

Times will most likely be 2 PM till 8 or so. Maybe sooner. Class
shouldn't overlap.
