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.

The InstallFest Post Mortem this evening was a

lot of fun, and can be briefly summarized as,

"InstallFest was great! Let's do it again!"

With that in mind the list of volunteers for the

West Side InstallFest has begun:

Flyer: Michelle Lowman

Press: Lee Einer

Site: Steve (foodog) (pending GCC approval)

Web Site: Jim Farli

Chairman: Bob Bushman

Sponsor Wrangler: Available

Installers: Anyone here ever installed Linux before?

Other: How would you like to help?

It was mentioned that der.hans provided quite

a bit of invaluable wiring and power gear, that

Alan has an appreciable network of sponsor

contacts (and Jim may be able to bend the ear

of someone at O'Reilly), and that William

Lindley might have some organizational advice.

Of course, your help is appreciated in any

area you can support.

As a tentative date, I'd like to suggest Saturday,

September 28. Jim suggested this would give

students time to settle into the fall semester

and start looking for weekend distractions.

On potential improvements, some things that caught

my attention at the post mortem were:

1. More stations to allow more simultaneous installs.

2. Preliminary survey to identify users who want

specialized installs.

3. Trans/Post-liminary survey to record the gear

being used, OS being replaced, FAQs, etc.
