RE: [Plug] install fests / demo days
|
I'd be interested.
Aside from the better chance of getting the install done correctly, I'd have
a chance to get some ICQ#s of folks in the same boat as I am.

Subject: [Plug] install fests / demo days
A friend of mine (Loopy) moved to Mississippi.
the Linux User Group Of Jackson (www.lugoj.org) has 2 official meetings
per month (1st & 3rd thursday), w/ about 25 people attending, and
unofficial gatherings at a coffee house the rest of the thursdays.
They have about a hundred people on their mailing list (I'd love to know
how many are on the plug list to compair).
I've been curious about the install fest concept for a while, but I've
never seen one, and wasn't sure how well the idea would work.
They apparently get 15-30 people bringing in their computers to install
linux... that kind of blows my mind. Sounds like they do them about every
3 months. & the last one & next one are at colleges.
They also do this "demo days" thing -- where they set up a linux box at
barnes & noble, or comp usa, and show linux to people all day.
So if we want more people involved, there are definately ways to do it,
and other people with experience that can give us like, directions.
