30 isn't that low. Some of the initial installfests were over the
hundred probably because they were the first and novel. Slug was also
smaller. We've grown as a result.

The pattern I suggested and initially followed was
InstallFest - get it on the system,
ConfigFest - tune it, fix it, improve it,
AppsFest - use it (security, programming, etc all fit into these.
If you have the people to help, then Slug can run one of these a month.
The balance of each will depend on Slug interest.
- If you want to grow, have quarterly installfests.
- Inundated with difficulties in some area - put on a ConfigFest
that includes that.
- And cater for special interests as demanded.
And the big problem is getting people willing to organise.
