Re: [Plug] install fests / demo days


Well what if we split it in two? Start it installing before and then meet while all the time but not people intensive things are happening. Then fix what didn't get going properly afterwards.

It'll work fine til someone shows up with that wacky network or video card that
you just cant seem to get working. I think doing the installs after the meeting
would be a bit rushed. Between setup and tear down time that doesnt leave a
