Volunteers, please add your contact information to this wiki: http://linux.wikia.com/wiki/GNU/Linux_Install_Fest Help improve this document, for a successful install fest! Here are a few suggestions. Please, feel free to respond with your thoughts! Approach the whole install fest with a pragmatic mindset. Assume that users are interested more in free software ( gratis, as in free beer ), than Free Software ( libre, as in free speech ). We want new people to start using GNU/Linux, so we will call it "Linux" for the sake of this install fest. People will discover and appreciate Software Freedom, and start calling it GNU/Linux on their own. Identify what the new user wants to get out of their computer: 1. Surfing the web 2. Email 3. Social Media 4. Games Explain how Free Software can meet these requirements, and more. Explain how Free Software may be used to protect security and privacy. And finally, explain what freedoms Free Software brings. Glad to see the enthusiasm about this festival! Penguin power! Cheers, - Ashwin. -- ================================================= Subvert the dominant paradigm.
