<p dir="ltr">Great idea! I doubt that you will get them (him) to agree to follow anything that includes rules and structure to allow for success (& a large healthy LUG). As long as people are arguing minutia they will never notice all the secondary gain that keeps successful professionals uninvolved and uninterested. In 2002 I suggested Nonprofit status so people running the LUG functions and donating funds and equipment can write off reasonable tax exceptions. I wrote the whole process up in the discuss list which was the impetus for heatsink labs in Mesa to jump to grants and success through internships, etc. I told Hans I would do it all myself and he laughed in my face. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Anyone who has lived in a comparably sized city knows what a healthy LUG is capable of simply by following direction already decreed in various guides.</p>

<br>Many improvements to the PLUG Installfest can be made by following these guidelines.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Why are we beating a dead horse... <br></div><div>Many of these items are part of the HOWTO already.<br>
<br></div><div>I propose the Linux Installfest HOWTO be used as a guide for discussion and installfests. Has everyone had a chance to look these over?<br>Can we agree to use the HOWTO as a guideline?<br><br>I believe these installfest items will be on the table for discussion tomorrow evening. Is that correct?<br>
<br>If so, I will be attending but not exactly at 7pm. You can either fill me in or wait. I'm thinking 8ish at the latest.<br><br></div></div></div>As far as I am concerned, I think one thing we can improve and hopefully agree upon is following the installfest HOWTO as a guideline.<br>
