I know, we've got our own install fest this Saturday. There's another one coming up in a couple of weeks in Salt Lake, if anyone's interested in helping out there, too. Ryan from SLLUG is coordinating volunteers.

The Salt Lake Linux Users Group has been invited to support the event by providing additional "expert" staff. It will be held at XMission (47 East 400 South, Salt Lake) from 10am - 7pm. The time will be divided into three sessions. Here are the times: 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. (This session already full!!!) 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Volunteers are needed from the group to assist attendees installing Linux on their machines, and teaching users some getting started basics. Space is limited, we can only accept 5 individuals per session. If you would like to participate in this event please post to the list, or e-mail me, stating _which sessions_ you would like to attend. Please also include which distribution(s) you are familiar with so we can try to provide individuals with diverse knowledge to the event. You do not have to be a kernel hacker or other guru to assist another person in installing Linux. There will be many individuals there with a lot of specific expertise that can assist with the harder installs. If you have installed Linux more than 4 times on a few different machines you should have enough knowledge to assist most of the attendees with getting Linux running. Of course, if you have more experience that is better. We would like to fill up this list as quickly as possible. These events are a lot of fun, and they are a great way to "give-back" to the community. If you can't attend, you can still help. Pass information about the event to others who might be interested in installing Linux. Thank you in advance for your support, -Ryan Simpkins ____________________ BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ ___________________________________________________________________ List Info: http://uug.byu.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/uug-list
