Who wants to burn some instalation CDs for us. I think it would be good t=
o=20
have 25 -50 of each distribution to hand out with each instalation..=20

Who wants to burn some Mandrake 9.0?.....How many would you be willing to=
 burn=20
for us?

Who wants to be there to install them..... Wait. That one installs itself=
 so I=20
will be one of those installers. Who else wants to do it?

Who wants to burn some RedHat 8.0?...How many would you be willing to bur=
n for=20
us?

Who wants to install it?

-----

Who wants to burn some Debian?.....How many would you be willing to burn =
for=20
us?

Who wants to install it?

-----

How about some other distribution?.... How many can you burn for our litt=
le=20
install party?

-----

Who is going to volunteer to bring their computer in so people can watch =
each=20
individual distribution in action?

-----

Who would like to host a presentation? what would you like to teach or sh=
ow?=20
We should probably have four or five newbie classes throughout the day an=
d=20
other presentations as well.

I sure hope that the school will provide the availability of food. If not=
 we=20
will have to ask the list members for donations..... which brings up anot=
her=20
issue.

My feeling is that we should put an ad into the AZ Republic. As such I ca=
lled=20
the AZ Republic classifieds to get a pricing on such a venture. This is w=
hat=20
I was told:

Sunday minimum (3 lines about 20 characters a line) =3D $30
Saturday minimum =3D $22
Weekday minimum =3D $21

I'll give you all a can, which freeway exit do you all want to stand on?

Seriously though, we could probably raise $73 out of the PLUG membership =
for a=20
Saturday, Sunday, and then Wednesday advertisement. I will write receipts=
 for=20
all donations to all who ask for it and then give back whatever change I =
get.=20

So let us brain storm! Here is my idea.

For a better computer-
Install Linux- cost=3D  free.
480-844-1511            and so people will call me for more information.

What do you think? Of course if we get more money we can put more info in=
to=20
the AD.

Well, we could robably use office supplies to (pencil, papermarkers, tape=
,=20
etc) so sign up.

Let's start a list and I will get in touch with you if we need your help =
or=20
not.
