Hello everyone,

That was a lot of fun! I want more and I know that those I talked
to all agree. Thanks to Nexus for inviting us and letting us use their space.
Thanks of course to everyone who coordinated the event and to all the
volunteers. I learned a lot by working on live projects, working with
others to solve the problem, and having fun while learning it all.

As for more events, guess what? The Computer Recycling Society (C.R.S.)
manager/coordinator showed up at our Tweak-Fest and was impressed. He has
offered their warehouse space and resources for another installfest and
also any workshops we want to present. Actually, an installfest at the
C.R.S. could also run co-currently with a computer rebuilding event.

The way the computer rebuilding event would work is to cannibalize the 
their stock of used computers, build a system, install Linux, and then
either: buy it for a song or give it back to the C.R.S. who would
then donate it to one of the 16+ NFP societies that they assist. Pick your
charity, build the system, and maybe even have races to see who can build
the most systems.

So how about it? How many takers for another installfest on a Saturday
from 11am to 6pm? Say: Nov 16 or 23?

One more thing: Anyone interested in volunteering to set up the C.R.S.
server to run on Linux?

Cheers indeed,
Peter Williams
