I'm very sorry to announce that, due to a lack of sign ups, we've chosen
to cancel the upcoming installfest (scheduled for Sat. 10/20). Our hope
is to schedule another in the spring.
We still want to open the 'fest up to issues beyond simply installing,
so if you have suggestions, please send them along. We'd also like to
advertise the 'Installfest+' to a wider audience, so please feel free to
chime in with your ideas.
Thanks,
-dave. (Installfest coordinator)

Description:
Tom works for Canonical, the makers of Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Edubuntu, etc.
as a Systems Administrator for Launchpad (https://launchpad.net) and
Landscape (https://landscape.canonical.com).
From Tom :
"The main topic of the talk will be about a volunteer project
undertaken by the SF-LUG to resurrect a housing authority's computer
lab using Edubuntu. How the project started, where we are now, and
where we go from here. Possibly with a demonstration of LTSP (the Linux
Terminal Server Project) on my laptop. I'll also be happy to answer any
questions I can about Ubuntu, Canonical, Launchpad, Landscape, etc."
