Tucson Computer Society charged dues and it was mostly retired hobbyists. The Tucson Free Unix group was like PhxLUG - no dues and serious folks for the most part.<div><div><br>

I tried doing several in Payson through out the years. We have a small<br>
computer club called PACA, but it really consists of a bunch of old guys that<br>
show up to ask the couple real techs questions all night. Not a whole lot of<br>
fun. And then while the library room they use is free to use, they charge dues<br>
and are really fussy about it. Kind of funny.<br>
<br>
I would suggest you make some flyers and hit up any book stores you have and<br>
ask to post your flyer. A lot of times the book store will host you. ALso, try<br>
putting a flyer in your local post office. Often they will let you put up a<br>
flyer that can only hang around for 2 - 4 weeks, which is ideal.<br>
<br>
Our library here will allow the room to be used without fee as long as you<br>
record how many showed up. Maybe your library will do the same.<br>

I want to do an installfest up here in lil ol cottonwood. how should I<br>
proceed?<br>
1- I need to set a date and get a venue. Do you think I can get the local<br>
community college to donate that?<br>
2- I need to let people know about it. I think I should advertise in Payson<br>
and Prescott as well.... possibly Flagstaff. Cottonwood is in the middle of<br>
those three places 60 miles to each of them. How do I advertise with no<br>
budget? Maybe I should coordinate with the unix professor at NAU. Prescott<br>
only has community colleges so they're windows-centric. Embry Riddle<br>
Aeronautics is there but they teach airlplane mechanics so I don't know<br>
about computer stuff.<br>
3- Arrange for a guest speaker or for someone to do a presentation. I need<br>
to dig into the brain-trust of PLUG for that. Anyone want to volunteer to<br>
escape the heat of Phoenix for a day?<br>
<br>
Wait a second, there are people from Prescott and Payson on this list! Do<br>
you two have any ideas?<br>
<br>

ps- I just wrote a note to the computer teacher at the local community<br>
college and was wanting advice on the content:<br>
<br>
Hello.<br>
My Name is Michael Havens and I'm an enthusiast for open source software. I<br>
was wanting to do something where people who are interested in<br>
experimenting with open source software in the area<br>
(Flagstaff/Prescott/Payson) would all meet at a central location and have<br>
Linux installed on their computer. I was hoping I could get the school to<br>
donate a room and internet access to this purpose. Would you assist me in<br>
getting this?<br>
