This sounds like a great idea, and I'd love to help out, but both
organizations need to be aware that the first two Saturdays in
November will conflict with the annual Scout Pow-Wow on campus.
This is a problem for two reasons:
1 - it makes it harder to get a room on campus (the Pow-Wow is
huge, and uses many rooms all over campus)
2 - it creates a scheduling conflict for potential participants.

> 1) THERE WILL BE FREE PIZZA AND POP (please don't call it soda :-) )
> 2) We don't have to have a booth; they'll be doing the advertising
> 3) They'll provide the CDs
> 4) They'll get the room and set everything up
>
> So pretty much we'll just go, install Linux, and eat.
