Tucson Computer Society charged dues and it was mostly retired
hobbyists. The Tucson Free Unix group was like PhxLUG - no dues and
serious folks for the most part.

I tried doing several in Payson through out the years. We have a small
computer club called PACA, but it really consists of a bunch of old
guys that
show up to ask the couple real techs questions all night. Not a whole

fun. And then while the library room they use is free to use, they
charge dues
and are really fussy about it. Kind of funny.
I would suggest you make some flyers and hit up any book stores you
have and
ask to post your flyer. A lot of times the book store will host you.
ALso, try
putting a flyer in your local post office. Often they will let you put
up a
flyer that can only hang around for 2 - 4 weeks, which is ideal.
Our library here will allow the room to be used without fee as long as
you
record how many showed up. Maybe your library will do the same.

I want to do an installfest up here in lil ol cottonwood. how should I
proceed?
1- I need to set a date and get a venue. Do you think I can get the
local
community college to donate that?
2- I need to let people know about it. I think I should advertise in
Payson
and Prescott as well.... possibly Flagstaff. Cottonwood is in the
middle of
those three places 60 miles to each of them. How do I advertise with
no
budget? Maybe I should coordinate with the unix professor at NAU.
Prescott
only has community colleges so they're windows-centric. Embry Riddle
Aeronautics is there but they teach airlplane mechanics so I don't
know
about computer stuff.
3- Arrange for a guest speaker or for someone to do a presentation. I
need
to dig into the brain-trust of PLUG for that. Anyone want to volunteer
to
escape the heat of Phoenix for a day?
Wait a second, there are people from Prescott and Payson on this list!
Do
you two have any ideas?

ps- I just wrote a note to the computer teacher at the local community
college and was wanting advice on the content:
Hello.
My Name is Michael Havens and I'm an enthusiast for open source
software. I
was wanting to do something where people who are interested in
experimenting with open source software in the area
(Flagstaff/Prescott/Payson) would all meet at a central location and
have
Linux installed on their computer. I was hoping I could get the school
to
donate a room and internet access to this purpose. Would you assist me
in
getting this?
