[Luna] Install fest?

[Kyle Winfree]

Hi All,
        Here's some better details.  NAU is open to students (for 
residence) starting on Aug 21.  If we plan to post any flyers, this and 
the 22nd would be the days.  Classes start on the 28th.  This means that 
we should probably be on campus for installs on the 26th and 27th if 
possible.  The 28th wouldn't be a bad idea, but I don't think we'll have 
as much "switch me" enthusiasm once classes begin.
        There was talk last year about a centralized server for install 
over the lan.  Anyone have a suitable box for this?
        Anyone interested in creating the flyers (not nessesarily 
printing, but at least designing)?  We should also see if Kinkos or 
similar would donate 100 copies.  If not, we might want to sell the lan 
cables as fund raising for overhead of events...  (we might also want to 
buy a stack of dvdrs, so that we can provide a burned copy of the distro 
that we install on anyones comp; again fund raising will help)
        The website should be updated, so that it might be a better 
resource for anyone that we convert.  I'll start on this, but of course 
would love input from others (Patrick, maybe we should meet to talk.)
        I just called a friend at NAU, he is going to see if he can make 
some space at the Union for us.  If he can't then I'll contact reslife 
about either the Union or one of the freshman dorms.
        So that we might space out our meetings, I suggest that we meet on 
Aug 9th to do a trial run of the install fest (still pending enough 
interest).  Our regular meeting could then be scheduled for the 23rd.
Cheers,
Kyle

I would like to see one happen.  What week are you referring too?  I am 
not familiar with the NAU schedule.  I can bring disks and I have a couple 
old boxes and a very old laptop that only boots off floppies.  I have a 
couple CRT 17" monitors as well.  I also have 500' CAT5e if you need and 
along with tools and plugs.  Let me know.

Howdy All, 
        At the last meeting, there was some talk about an install fest. 
I'm looking to see who is interested and has the time and or other 
resources avilable.  The week before classes is coming up (Rush), and this 
might be the best time to get a couple of students set up with FOSS. 
        Please email me if you would like to be involved, and what you can 
do. 
Kyle
