<P>It would also be nice to have a few "Fully-Functional" stations set up for "demo" purposes for anyone new to Linux who might want to see "what it can do for me". These stations can include a couple set up as dual / multi-boot.</P>

<DIV></DIV>The InstallFest Post Mortem this evening was a
<DIV></DIV>lot of fun, and can be briefly summarized as,
<DIV></DIV>"InstallFest was great! Let's do it again!"
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>With that in mind the list of volunteers for the
<DIV></DIV>West Side InstallFest has begun:
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>Flyer: Michelle Lowman
<DIV></DIV>Press: Lee Einer
<DIV></DIV>Site: Steve (foodog) (pending GCC approval)
<DIV></DIV>Web Site: Jim Farli
<DIV></DIV>Chairman: Bob Bushman
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>Sponsor Wrangler: Available
<DIV></DIV>Installers: Anyone here ever installed Linux before?
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>Other: How would you like to help?
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>It was mentioned that der.hans provided quite
<DIV></DIV>a bit of invaluable wiring and power gear, that
<DIV></DIV>Alan has an appreciable network of sponsor
<DIV></DIV>contacts (and Jim may be able to bend the ear
<DIV></DIV>of someone at O'Reilly), and that William
<DIV></DIV>Lindley might have some organizational advice.
<DIV></DIV>Of course, your help is appreciated in any
<DIV></DIV>area you can support.
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>As a tentative date, I'd like to suggest Saturday,
<DIV></DIV>September 28. Jim suggested this would give
<DIV></DIV>students time to settle into the fall semester
<DIV></DIV>and start looking for weekend distractions.
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>On potential improvements, some things that caught
<DIV></DIV>my attention at the post mortem were:
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>1. More stations to allow more simultaneous installs.
<DIV></DIV>2. Preliminary survey to identify users who want
<DIV></DIV>specialized installs.
<DIV></DIV>3. Trans/Post-liminary survey to record the gear
<DIV></DIV>being used, OS being replaced, FAQs, etc.
<DIV></DIV>4. <YOUR here! thoughts>
<DIV></DIV>
