Lee's Press Release

Looks fantastic! Definitely quick and to the point,
just what we need. Excellant work.

My cell phone is (480) 650 5209
Might be nice to put the official contact email
address as well: installfest@plug.phoenix.az.us
And the website: http://www.plugpresents.com/installfest2/

I think Install Fest is two words. At least it's
that way on the website. I'm pretty impartial,
if you feel strongly about it being one word,
let's ask Jim Farli if he feels strongly about
two words.

Microsoft doesn't capitalize their S.

In the "Why" section, I love the focus on freedom!
Would it be worthwhile to focus on the positive
reasons that a person would like to attend, rather
than our dispassion for proprietary software?
Maybe something like:
Why: Your freedom to use your computer and your
information is important. You have the freedom to
choose your operating system and applications.
The properietary software industry wants to remove
that freedom. We're here to help you keep it.
This way, they don't get scared off, and we don't
reinforce the (perhaps entirely justified) stereotype
that we are a bunch of wild-eyed zealots. At least
not until they're safely a captive audience in one
of the presentations, haha.

Again, excellant work Lee, thanks again for putting
so much time into this!

'Microsoft also warned today that the era of "open computing," the
free exchange of digital information that has defined the personal
computer industry, is ending.'

Will Microsoft permit you to use your mission critical data when
you need it? Linux will, and you have the source to prove it.
