Linux is 15 this year! There are a number of LUGs celebrating this on Augsut 19th.
NOVALUG and Tux.org are sponsoring a picnic on August 19th at Lake Fairfax in Reston Virginia (http://fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/lakefairfax/). We have picnic areas C & D reserved from 12-6PM. There is the Watermine which is an outdoor water park on the park grounds. It is a great family place with a lazy river, 4 water slides and a pool area. This costs a bit of money but well worth it. I'll look into a group rate should there be interest. Lake Fairfax also rents canoes, paddle boats for rent and has a party boat ride for some nominal fee. There are number of activities we can have at the park. Here's some ideas: Music Bring acoustic music instruments if you want play it at the event. Note, however, that park policies do not allow “amplified sound” (amplifier and large speaker(s)) with our permit. Sports & Games Outdoor games are welcome at the park. We have plenty of grass to play on. Here are come ideas: * Frisbee, whistling football, and other throwable items * Soccer * Bocce * Horseshoes * Kites * Baseball or softball * Badminton or volleyball * Juggling Geeky Activities We may also want to engage in more geeky pursuits. While there are not any outlets I am aware of, we might be able to come ideas like * Wifi (Internet access is available but there may be a fee) * Installing & troubleshooting Linux on your laptop * PGP/GnuPG keysignings There is a campground in the park as well. The services are more than adequate for those who wish to use it. This also gets a discount to the Watermine! if you have more ideas or wish to help - please join the picnic mail list on tux.org (http://www.tux.org/mailman/listinfo/picnic) and share your ideas! You can check out linuxpicnic.org as an alternate site. These folks started the party ... I'd like to out do them! :-) Rich -- GPG/PGP Key Id: 1B257AEC from pgp.mit.edu Remember, all Windows machines are, by definition, fault tolerant. They run Windows don't they!!
