Announcement of Linux Installfest
College of DuPage in West Suburbs of Chicago
January 23, 2000
What:
An Installfest is a gathering of people interested in
Linux with the intent of installing Linux on computers
owned by the individuals. We are also calling it a LinuxFest
to promote the idea of just sharing information.
It is FREE!
WHAT'S NEW THIS MONTH:
Note the time change, we are now running from 10 - 4.
HELP! I am overwelmed with things to do. I have not worked
on LinuxFest as hard as it deserves. I would like
someone to take over the coordination. I will be happy
to help with things like getting the rooms, and getting
money from UniForum Chicago. BTW: If no one helps me,
I will not totally drop the ball on LinuxFest, it will
just not reach it's potential.
Where:
The College of DuPage during the computer central computer expo.
We are in a room in the building _next_ to where the sale is held.
We are easy to find: if you go to the expo you will see our signs.
When:
Sunday January 23, 2000
Sunday February 27, 2000
Sunday April 30, 2000

Sunday November 26, 2000
This is the same day as the computer expo.
9:30-10 is the setup time.
10-4 is the install time.
The swap meet runs from 9-3.
Watch the web site for changes. www.uniforum.chi.il.us/linuxfest/
Who:
The local Linux User Groups are doing the installs.
UniForum Chicago is the coordinating organization; UniForum Chicago has
allocated $700 to promote and buy supplies for the upcoming installfests.
We are _not_ associated with the expo, we just think it is convenient
to have the installfest at the same time to allow people to pick
up some needed hw at the same time they are installing Linux.

How:
For Installers:
a) Show up and install or just hang out.
b) Bring powercords and powerstrips to loan to or donate to the cause.
c) Bring your favorite distribution of Linux.
d) Bring network cable and hubs.
e) Bring foldable 2 wheel dollies.
f) Bring your experience on how to run an installfest (I am new at this).
g) Bring information about your Linux group so we can promote your group.
h) Bring a banner to hang up promoting your group.
For Installees:
Bring your computer and all the peripherals that
you want to work under Linux. We will not have spare monitors,
so you will have to bring your own.
The computer should have free disk space to install Linux, at
least 100MB.
You do not have to give up windows, we can install a dual boot system.
We have software which allows partitioning a live partition
and therefore, you do not need an open partion (just the free space).
Back up your system before you come. Even without the risk associated
with installing a new operating system, just moving the computer
in your car is a good enough reason to backup critical data.
There is no charge.
For Socializers:
Feel Free to stop by and say hi, there is no cover charge ;).
