Yes, Mike I did and they are not available at this point.  But they have
been extremely helpful in various ways so I was not expecting them for this.

Re: Need some help for a special Installfest

[Mike Schwartz]

Has anyone heard back from those Ubuntu AriZona Loco folks?
I sent them a copy of [a reply to] an early part of this thread
(see:
http://lists.plug.phoenix.az.us/lurker/message/20100208.191150.1e2ad3bf.en.html
)

They might be able to help, -- EVEN if, it is (maybe)
in some capacity "other than" showing up in person.

Right. I just want to avoid being in a position of waiting for a disk. ;)

Re: Need some help for a special Installfest

[Eric Shubert]

Sounds good to me. Hopefully we can wrap half or better of the installs 
with enough time left to do the ad hoc "getting started" presentation. 
That could be challenging, but we might pull it off if we keep the 
objective in mind.

You'll have a disk for each participant, right?

Re: Need some help for a special Installfest

[Dazed_75]

I like it too.  Though I wish we had thought of this earlier in the week.  I
had intended to make a form tomorrow afternoon which was part data
collection from the applicants to provide us with some information and part
as a checklist for the volunteers for the actual install.  I will put some
thought into amending it as you guys suggested.

With less than 36 hours before we start, I can't see preparing a
presentation / class but I can see making some notes to drive an ad hoc
one.  I also don't know what our constraints might be without talking to
Yvvone who asked us to do this.  I am sure she is open to suggestion but we
are still limited by room schedules and how many people are willing to hang
around for a class/demo at the end of the session.

Here is my proposal for this one:

   - give people (applicants) a handout and a form when they come in
   - applicants need to set up their system, read the handout and fill out
   what they can of the form
   - While they are doing that, we circulate among the folks and help them.
   Perhaps one of us might give an intro and answer questions while the others
   circulate, but since people will probably not all be there for the start
   that might not work well.
   - We start doing the installs when we have adequate information for each
   one and answer user questions as we go and move on when neither the system
   nor the applicant needs us.  We leave the form with the system to help the
   same or another volunteer pick up the install when needed.  (I am not
   confident about this part).
   - IF there is time and IF people are willing to stay, one of us can do an
   ad hoc class/lab about getting started.  Alternatively we could offer to
   hold a separate class specifically for that purpose on some other day.  I
   could do that one.  Yvvone will have to schedule it.

I would not be comfortable trying to talk the group through doing their own
installs because I know from the interviews we did at the Mesa Regal Expo
that some installs will be problematical and many of the applicants would
not be willing to attempt it.

Re: Need some help for a special Installfest

This i think might be a good idea... create a small form for them to
fill out for username computer name all the non-secure stuff, so we
can give them an idea of what they might want to think about and then
with them all up and running make it a class/install-fest even with
them installing it themselves and having 3-5 people moving about
helping with issues. and in the future this will let them reinstall or
pass on to others.

even set up the form to record information they might need in the future...

Should we try to do a little presentation after the installs are 
(mostly) done that people can follow along on their new systems?

Re: Need some help for a special Installfest

[Dazed_75]

Agreed though in my experience the questions never cease and I have a
tendency to explain some things without them asking in the hopes of making
it a better experience for them.  I also find that when I get up to doing 3
at once it is easy to lose track of some detail.

Well for me i can probably run several at once, the main part is there
is a certain amount of waiting time after the questiosn have been
answered.

that is my thought.

Re: Need some help for a special Installfest

[Dazed_75]

I do not know the answer, but it is probably 17 different environments and
it is best if we can talk to the people while doing their machines.  Hence,
I don't see it simply as doing many installs in parallel like one might do
in a more corporate environment.

 I do think we 5 could get the job done though it would be hectic and leave
some of the users not quite understanding what happened or what to do next..

Re: Need some help for a special Installfest

[Dazed_75]

I've lost one volunteer for this Saturday.  I have 5 people (the list below
plus Boyd Tong and Stephen) to install 17[+] systems.  I think that will be
a push since there are always one or two that don't go well.  If there is
anyone else who could make it Saturday around 8:30 AM until early afternoon,
I would appreciate the help.

Notify/cooperate with Ubuntu AZ Loco folks (was: Re: Need some help for a special Installfest)

[Mike Schwartz]

My apologies if this (what I am about to say) is so obvious,
that it is a waste of bits (electrons?) to type it.

You should consider getting in touch with (/"involving")
the folks from the "Ariziona LoCo" of *Ubuntu *
(see https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-arizona)
Their team leader: "John Crawford aka johnc4510",
(see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JohnCrawford)
"John Crawford"  -- OR: --
(does this one work? :-) 
("see also" https://launchpad.net/~johnc4510)

...and I think one of their other main (active) members
is Craig A. Eddy 
(see https://launchpad.net/~tyche)
...so I am sending each of them, a Cc: of this.

SOME of these people, (along with others - like, me)
can be seen in the photos from about 1.5 years ago
("05/17/2008")
at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ArizonaTeam/Installfest

(from there),
they were also copied to (and *"tagged" on*) facebook, -- at:
http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=27343&id=664267723&l=4951861bed
...which is "public link" URL, so it "should" work OK, even
if you do not have your own facebook account [password].

By the way, if any of you are in those photos
((other URL:
  http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=27343&id=664267723))
and you would like your "tag" to be a proper hyper link to
your facebook profile page, then contact me on facebook.

ALSO, I noticed that Ted Gould's name was mentioned,
at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue179
(as part of item "4." under "Tuesday") --
so I am also sending him a Cc: of this.

(some of *those Cc:'s* "might" be, readers who 'also'
 already subscribe to *PLUG-Discuss.* Oops, sorry! :-)
Just "FYI"...

Re: Need some help for a special Installfest

[Dazed_75]

Stephen and X Y,
The special part is that it is not a public event and not a PLUG event.
Mesa Regal is a 55+ RV park with an active computer club.  Eric Shubert,
myself and a Linux end user user recently attended an Expo they held.  We
manned a Linux table.  We now have 17 people signed up for this installfest
for their club.  We did this 2 years ago and installed Linux for 25 people.

X Y,
Since I have no idea who you are, it is hard to know anything abut you.  But
if you can help install ubuntu 9.10 as a standalone, dual boot with windows,
or to replace an old Linux in a dual boot environment we can use you.  I wil
plan on your attendance.  Please tell me if I know you and who you are even
if you do that off list.

There will be an installfest on Saturday Feb 13 at Mesa Regal, at 4700 E Main 
St (Apache Trail) in Mesa, about 1/3 mile east 
of Greenfield on the North side of the street: 
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=4700+e+main+st+mesa+az&ie=UTF8&z=12&ll=33.415681,-111.729927&spn=0.19716,0.338173&om=1&iwloc=addr
 

We will be in their computer room from 8:30 AM till early afternoon.  I believe 
we have 14 Ubuntu 9.10 installs (mostly dual boots) scheduled and only 3 
volunteers.
 - Larry Thiel (me)
 - Eric Shubert
 - Joe Zagar (at least I think he will be there)

I could use at least 2 more people to help.  Dennis Kibbe, Patrick Callahan, 
Robert Callahan, and JT Moree helped at this event a couple of years ago but I 
have no idea if they are available this time.  If you can help out, please let 
me know asap.
