When Saturday, June 4th 2005 from 10:00AM > 6:00PM

(The first Saturday in June)

What Prepare for a day of lunacy, fun, coffee, donuts (celebrating the official Donut Day holiday), and Linux! This is a great opportunity for new users and their friends to get help installing Linux, as well as a sort of hack-fest for all who are trying to work out installation issues (such as installing to a PDA, etc.). This also a nice chance to meet people in the lug and just hang out, watch, and learn.
Where Held at LinuxCafe
How Details we need from you

If you can attend, either as a volunteer, an installee, or both, PLEASE RSVP with the following information:

EVERYONE: VOLUNTEERS: INSTALLEES:
  • Who you are
  • When you think you might show up
  • We now have enough volunteers. Please sign up as an installer, but you are still welcome to help (especially to bring snacks and donuts).
  • Equipment and software you can bring
  • Information about the hardware you are bringing. (Please make the information as detailed as possible. Will you be dual booting with a MS product? etc.)
  • Do you want any specific distribution/software installed?
  • Do you need any additional hardware so that we can do the install (keyboard, mouse, monitor, etc)

RSVP to : User:Leah

Why RSVP? : The venue is a limited size, and while I doubt it will be a problem, if we have too many RSVP's we are going to have to turn people away. The RSVP will help us to have a good idea for how many volunteers we need, equipment, shifts, donuts (don't want to run out, do we?), etc.

Volunteering We need volunteers for the following:
  • Put up flyers advertising the event around town (universities and schools are often a good place to start)
  • Plan to attend the install fest, bring useful software, laptops, documentation, etc.

We need the following equipment for the event:

  • a few additional power strips; UPS would also be cool
  • switches and hubs
  • coffee
  • donuts
