Hello Issa, First of all, thank you very much for the great job, and for taking the initiative.
I am looking forward for the collaboration from all community members, including those from JOLug. I would suggest organizing another linux installation festival open for every one to attend. Maybe we can target having it done on July. I would like to hear feedback from any one who is interested.
