[NBLUG] June InstallFest!!

Hello everyone! It's that time again. We're going to have an InstallFest!! Please note that this InstallFest is >>NOT<< at O'Reilly and Associates. It will instead be at Sonoma State University in Rohnert Park. Please see below for information on the exact location and directions. Here's the nitty-gritty: WHEN: Saturday, June 8th, 2002 - 10:30AM - 4PM PST WHERE: Sonoma State Campus, Schulz Info Center, Room 1121 (see below for specifics) WHO: Anyone wanting help in installing Linux onto their computer 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. What if I want to offer to help? If you'd like to volunteer to assist others in installing Linux, please contact Bill at bill(a)nblug.org. He's our InstallFest Coordinator this time around since Eric will be out of town. 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. People 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. The InstallFest will take place on Sonoma State's campus. We will be using room Schulz 1121, which is in the Schulz Information Center (aka, the Library). Directions and information on parking follow. Here are some maps and directions that SSU makes available on their site: http://www.sonoma.edu/university/maps.html -- Master index of all interesting direction-related info. http://www.sonoma.edu/university/maps/schulzinfoctr.html -- Nice map of the campus with the library (Info Center) highlighted Parking tips from Mike & Dustin: http://www.nblug.org/schulz-library.gif -- Similar to the map above, but Mike has highlighted the parking areas, and also drawn a path to get to the right part of the library from Cotati Ave. Parking on Saturday is free. You may park in either Lot D or Lot J. Note that any lot that is marked as residence parking is OFF LIMITS at all times unless you have a proper parking permit. If you need to park close to the building to bring your equipment in, there is 30 minute parking on the West side of Schulz and on the East side of Schulz there are two 15 minute spots. Once you drop your equipment off, you should move your car to one of the other lots mentioned above. Handicapped parking is available in the reserved lot areas, and on the West side of the library near the library loading zone. Handicapped parking is labeled. -Dustin -- Founder & President The North Bay Linux Users' Group http://www.nblug.org/ dustin(a)nblug.org
