A announcement for the Installfest should be made several weeks prior to the installfest. We should also make it a point to remind people at the meeting. Another possiblity would be to have installs of varous applications such as Apache. I was thinking that we could have a lecture and or discussion and then use the remainder to install apps as a group. Perhaps we could do this bi-monthly.
We might also want to consider using That technical bookstore for installsfests. National City adult is a bit out of the way. The people at That book store told me that the Kplug was organizing the installs. I had thought the SDLUG was responsible. ----- Original Message ---- From: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, December 16, 2006 12:00:17 PM Subject: KPLUG-Steer Digest, Vol 24, Issue 3 Send KPLUG-Steer mailing list submissions to [email protected] To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-steer or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can reach the person managing the list at [EMAIL PROTECTED] When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of KPLUG-Steer digest..."

Maybe we should discuss cutting back on the number of Installfests we have in the new year, or come up with a strategy to reinvigorate them. We were having a discussion about collecting computers and offering them free, preinstalled with Linux to people who normally couldn't afford a computer. I suggested that we might want to offer a series of classes to train the recipients as a prerequisite of receiving the computer. Perhaps we can work out a cooperative arrangement with the National City Adult Education Center. I'd like to continue to discuss this on the steering list. -- Neil Schneider pacneil_at_linuxgeek_dot_net http://www.paccomp.com Key fingerprint = 67F0 E493 FCC0 0A8C 769B 8209 32D7 1DB1 8460 C47D I started with nothing and I still have most of it. ------------------------------ _______________________________________________ KPLUG-Steer mailing list [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-steer End of KPLUG-Steer Digest, Vol 24, Issue 3 ****************************************** -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-steer
