The idea is to schedule an InstallFest (i.e. a LUG meeting dedicated to helping people install Linux on machines they bring in) shortly after the event and to advertise this during the event so if people are interested and want to go ahead and install Linux but don't want to go it alone, they can have a time and a place that they know they can get a helping hand through the process. > Has anyone given any thought to where the target audiance might be?
