Please note that this InstallFest is at O'Reilly. Please see below for
information on the exact location and directions. All future InstallFests
will be held at O'Reilly, the same place as general meetings.
WHEN: Saturday, July 23rd - 10:30AM - 4:30PM PDT
WHERE: O'Reilly in Sebastopol; http://nblug.org/genloc
WHO: Anyone wanting help in installing Linux onto their computer
URL: http://nblug.org/installfest/
WHAT DO I DO: Go to http://www.nblug.org/installfest/ to signup!!!!
What is an InstallFest and who can come?
Instead of putting all of the usual "what is an InstallFest" info in
this and future announcements, we have a link up on our website as to
what a NBLUG InstallFest entails and how to participate. If you point
your browser of choice to http://www.nblug.org/installfest/ ,
you'll be presented with all the info you ever wanted to know about
what goes on at an InstallFest, and how you can get the most out of
attending one.
Anyone is more than welcome to attend. If you need help or just want
to hang out and talk, you are more than welcome to show up. They are
always totally free; you might want to bring a few dollars for pizza,
however.
How do I sign up?
We will again be taking signups for this InstallFest, so please be sure
to visit that URL if you plan on attending. Those who signup and reserve
a time slot, are first in line. We've found that by taking signups, we
can help more people in a timely fashion. We can also make sure that
enough helpers are available for those wanting help. If you need help at
the last minute, you can still just show up and we'll probably be able to
help you, but it really helps us if you register first, preferably more
than 48 hours in advance so we have a chance to beg for more helpers if
we need them.
What if I want to offer help?
If you're interested in helping out, please contact
installfest(a)nblug.org; if you've successfully installed Fedora (or RedHat
or Mandrake or SuSE or Debian or FreeBSD or OpenBSD or YellowDog or ...)
before, you can probably help out. We can even use a bit of help from
somebody helping people bring their heavy equipment in. Besides, it's fun
to come hang out with all the geeks. ;)
For helpers, the schedule is a little different:
8:00AM - Breakfast (optional) at an undecided location.
10:00AM - Setup tables, network, etc.
10:30AM - Installs begin (event start)
4:00PM - Installs should be done by now.
4:30PM - Installs must be done by now.
5:00PM - Room closed; alarms go off, doors lock, police show up.
We always need helpers, and we can usually use more helpers than we
get. It's a good way to "give back" to NBLUG and it's a geeky good
time. (If you're interested in helping out but can't do an
InstallFest, please consider giving a presentation, contact
speakers(a)nblug.org )
