[SLUG] Installfest call to arms
So, the last installfest for the year is coming up this weekend. This time we've booked a room at the University of Western Sydney's Parramatta campus. Details at http://slug.org.au/events/detail.html?id=162 Volunteers needed for the following: - Room setup and teardown - Greeting people at the door, helping move equipment around - Wandering around looking (and being!) helpful. We usually get a significant number of people just turning up to see what this whole linux thing is about. Having advocates on hand is useful. - Brief talks on... stuff. There's no set program yet, I'll do one on the day. - Some installers, I suppose. :-) - Oversee network/power/CD burning stuff Reply to activities if you're planning on coming to help out. The advertised start time is 9:30. We need as many helpers as possible to be there from 8:30 to get ready. Coffee will be provided for the hard of waking (I know I'll be needing it). -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

Hey everyone, SLUG is having an installfest on Saturday (21st August), next week. For those who've never been to an installfest, we'll be installing Linux on people's computers. If you're curious about Linux but don't want to install it yourself, then the installfest is for you. We also need volunteers to install Linux on other people's machines to come along. If you're coming as a volunteer installer, please let the activities list[1] know. Onlookers are also welcome, but we can't promise that you won't be roped in to helping out with installs :) The installfest will run from 9:30am until 4:30pm at UTS Broadway, in room 02.05.33 (Building 2, level 5, room 3).

Re: [SLUG] SLUG Installfest: Saturday 21st August.
Hi all I would love to help out at the SLUG installfest, however since I am vision impaired, this makes things a little difficult when it comes to reading stuff on the screen during installation. However I would be happy to answer any questions people may have, and can bring my laptop to demonstrate most aspects of Linux, particularly Linux multimedia. So if help is needed, and there is something that I could help out with, I would be glad to come. In terms of the location of the installfest, if someone is able to meet me outside UTS, that would be great. I will be coming from Central station, and would need assistance to find the room. Look forward to hearing from someone about this, and am happy to help out.

Hey everyone, A small installfest will be held out in the Computerbank warehouse in Seven Hills next Saturday.

The current loose plan is to hold an installfest every few months, with a followup config fest 3 or 4 weeks later.

[SLUG] Installfest this Saturday
Hi all, This upcoming Saturday we'll be holding an Installfest at UTS Broadway. Location: UTS Broadway; Ashmore Smith Room, Level 3, Tower 1. Directions: Go in through the main doors (of the tower building) and down the first set of stairs, then right twice and down those stairs then right again. For the day we'll need: * Installees * Installers * Helpers * People interested in Linux. * You! So, for those having trouble installing linux, or wish to try Linux out but are not so certain about the install, come on down. They'll be Knoppix CDs availible on the day also for those who would like to know what all the fuss is about with this OpenSource stuff but would prefer not to install it or lug their computer in. UTS is a quick walk down a tunnel from Central Station and there is Car Parking availible around the area. -- - Chris [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

[SLUG] InstallFest 2000, where to now?
Hi All, Well, InstallFest 2000 did very well by my reckoning. LinuxWorld.com.au would like to applaud the efforts of all involved. LinuxWorld is hoping that next year's efforts will be even more successful. Rodney has written an article summarising InstallFest 2000 with some 'vital statistics' and happy snaps from each event. For those who have not kept up with what is in-store for next year, there is coverage of that too. We are hoping this kind of coverage will be amongst the first steps of getting stronger mainstream involvement and further mainstream press, which should encourage more people to attend next year.

Re: [SLUG] InstallFest Posters To GO!
The little tear off tags seem to be popular, have you thought about these ? Dates and websites are difficult to remember unless they're written down, so what do you think ? Do they work okay ? Maybe you could release another poster made for tearing, and keep the current one for hard to reach places. I little fine print could also come in handy, the person might wonder if their machine is up to it or if they need another hard drive, or something that can reassure them that they will not lose their data (that they can repartition). Also that CDs will be provided on the day to do a first install for them, and they should bring however much money we'll be selling cheap rips for. I can't think of a better place to hang these posters than university computer labs and halls. The poster is GREAT though, clear and easy to read.
