Howdy,

Some of you have been inquiring into when we’ll have the next InstallFest and New User Meeting… I’m pleased to announce that this will be on Saturday, May 19th, from 10am to 6pm at ITT Tech.

This has been made possible by Andria, a generous workaholic who’s willing to come in on a Saturday and make all this happen… we’ll need to thank her come Saturday.

So, bring your laptops, your PC’s, your Linux questions, and we’ll have a blast.

The format will largely be informal. You can just show up at any time, and we’ll help you with whatever you need. We can help install Linux, help you configure an existing Linux installation, or you can simply pick the brains of the folks there.

Our hope is to also have a few mini-sessions throughout the day to cover some specific topics. Those are all TBA at the moment, but if you have any topic requests now is the time to let us know!

We of course would also love to have you there if you’re knowledgeable in the Linux realm. So even if you don’t personally want any help, please come along, someone might be able to use your help!

Details:

What: InstallFest / New User Meeting
When: Sat May 19th, 10am – 6pm
Where: ITT Tech, room Theory #3
What to bring: Laptop or PC (you can bring a PC, but you’ll need to
have all your cables with you!)

Wired and wireless Internet will be available.

See you there!
-Eric
