-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hey All,
Well we pulled off another successful InstallFest. It appears we sent some folks home with fresh installs of Mandrake and SuSE. I think we answered some good questions along the way too. Many thanks to Nexus for hosting us yet again. Thanks go specifically to Kevin, Stephen and not least of all Joe at Nexus. They were very patient and very helpful. I got a coffee when I really needed it from Kevin. Thanks to the volunteers. For me, Hasan, Dan, Graham, and Irvin were particularly helpful. We had several folks helping out during the course of the day I'm sorry if I haven't named you specifically but your help was most appreciated. Special thanks go to Johnny Stork for the use of a computer that we used for burning a few disks, Rob Lewko brought another machine that we used for burning. Jason Fraser for the use of his switch (we eventually worked out the network issues, I'm not sure how many people actually hooked in but we did have connectivity thanks to Nexus). Shawn Grover lent us his monitor and keyboard. Hasan lent us some cables and a second switch. Kari and I donated a gateway and a mouse to the cause aside from our time. I met a bunch of new folks and Kari did some networking. We had a lady from IBM there who had some very positive things to say about CLUG and what we have been doing lately. I believe we had some folks from ReCompute there. I spoke with several people on Saturday who had some very encouraging things to say about CLUG and InstallFests in general. The Executive was well represented as well, Marcel, Dave, Dan, Kari and I were there. Jeff passed along his regrets for not being able to attend but having a new baby, he is excused... : ) Graham, is working on VFXWeb for our next InstallFest. We are hoping to have something arranged within the next few months. - -- Jarrod Major GPG Fingerprint: FA4A 1EA3 A0EE A842 07BB 804C 0090 14F6 BE6E DE3D Registered Linux User: #224211 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2-rc1-SuSE (GNU/Linux) iQCVAwUBPvdEKACQFPa+bt49AQKqxAP/eBwpwdFE1j8vSdLkRisS7tEdJ31z2Kp3 9kN0VAuajHGySWO/XCkq916mpF4fATGhFiKY/FCDiveXLBAEl8Z8DfcbsBiVc3hS sex2ngcHT3Gud2Ft3L7cYlsOHhNslP0mKE2v5dQdIAK1C+8ZYowCROraLqmMWXV4 lbG4reGf85U= =4wVe -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
