The word is out!

The demographic you describe is EXACTLY the demographic we want to reach for this event.  An Install Fest is mostly for people who aren't Linux users but want to try it and maybe become a Linux user.  Granted, the usual meetings are more targeted toward Linux users but the Install Fest is there to help new users get started.

This other project that mention sounds interesting, what little you can say right now.  I will watch with great interest.

Just a small correction:

The correct address to submit something like a press release to the Computer Corner Radio Show is

http://www.datadoctors.com/corner/radio_suggestion.cfm

I'm the webmaster for datadoctors.com and also an employee. I would suggest not calling the show with this information as the show is not geared towards a Linux user. Our chief demographic are 45+ year old males perfectly happy running whatever version of Windows to email, word process, and surf the web.

I just talked to Ken Colburn, one of the co-hosts of the Computer Corner and a part-owner of Data Doctors Corporate. He expressed definite interest in supporting the Linux and Open Source community, but was very sure that the Computer Corner audience was not the correct platform. He did however ask me to forward on a bit of information, (I apologize for the lack of details, but NDAs apply), we have a new project coming up in a month or so that would be a much better platform for this organization, and that we would be happy to provide as a service to you. I will try my best to be an effective liaison and arbiter in this and future opportunities, as myself, Mr. Colburn, and Data Doctors are very interested and happy to provide any help we can in this arena.

The press release has been faxed and emailed. Only one I didn't contact is the 
Computer buyer Magazine and the Computer Corner s
Show on KTAR. It was suggested that this is best done during the show on 
Saturday 10-11:45am.

If you will be around to answer the phone, Bill, here is the link to submit the 
info.
