Hello All! I hope you all enjoyed the first week of school! As you know, the start of the semester means that the semesterly Installfest is coming up (*applause*)! It will be on Saturday September 10. More info is listed below.
We will also have a booth this week. Wednesday, the booth will be in the Talmage Building. Thursday and Friday, it will be in the Wilkinson Center. The booth will be open from 10am to 3pm. A sign-up form for manning the booth will be available shortly. Michael will post a link once it's up. Please come, help with the booth, and help others see the fun of Linux! ~Erin Info on the Installfest (Please pass along to anyone who would be interested): WHO: Anyone who wants Linux on their computer. Anyone who's willing to help install Linux on computers WHERE: Crabtree Building Lobby (http://map.byu.edu/campusmap.pdf for map of campus) WHEN: Saturday September 10. We will accept computers from 10:00 am til 1:30 pm WHY: Because Linux is Cool! Important Info For Installees (People Who Want Linux Installed) * BACKUP! We are not responsible for any data loss that could occur during this process. * Bring: Computer. If possible, bring monitor, keyboard, mouse. A small number of monitors, keyboards and mice will be available, but it is much easier if you can bring your own. * You must stay for the install process! This is not something where you can drop off your computer, then come back in a few hours and pick it up with everything done for you. Your input will be needed at some steps, and installers will not work on your computer when you are not present. * Be ready to learn! Ask the installers questions while they do the install. Find out what they like and dislike about Linux. Get them to show you how to use the programs that you're interested in. Important Info For Installers * Bring: Power-strips, extension cords, etc. monitor, keyboard, mouse if possible. * Friends: Anyone you know who's interested in Linux is welcome. * Don't be afraid that you don't know enough. We have people of all experience-levels at installfests --- This is a great way to learn! -- -- userfriendly.org -- -------------------- BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ The opinions expressed in this message are the responsibility of their author.
