Group: Even though some of us will be tied up with other events, that doesn't necessarily preclude us from helping out during the installfest itself. Those of us that have been there before know exactly what the event takes from a technical perspective. Basically, make sure we have a couple copies of all the recent distros, that the event is announced/publicized/scheduled for Saturday, and the techs will take care of the event itself. Everyone will definitely pitch in with what did/didn't work previously if you keep the plan transparent. Personal: Provided this occurs in the lounge, it's not going to conflict with either of the larger key-signing sessions (same room), so I plan to be serving as a tech for at least part of the event (which part depends on the exact scheduling as the keysigning requires both preparation and reconciliation). <div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Mar 5, 2009 at 11:13 PM, Chick Tower <<a href="mailto:c.e.tower@gmail.com">c.e.tower@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> If you think we should have a Linux install-fest on Saturday, somebody needs to step up and plan it. It would need volunteers to assist in new Linux installations Some promotion, such as in the Penguicon program, would be needed, too. If someone wants to sell pins in the Computer Lounge, that someone needs to order (and maybe even design) them. David Singer can give you advice on how to find businesses on the internet that will print any design you can provide them, or you can order some from someplace like Cafe Press (as I did two years ago). There are several of us already tied up with events, so new people will need to step forward and carry these out if they're to be. I'm organizing the Brazilian beef cook-out, Clay is busy with the GLLUG room parties, Rick has certification events to manage, and Jeff will be gone most, if not all, of Penguicon. Marshal, Charles, and Stan all have duties to perform that might prevent them from taking on any more responsibility. The install-fest really won't require much time to set up, and the pins will require even less.
