Larry, I think that's a great idea. Although it's important to ensure every event has a friendly, introductory feel, but having different themes would be great for people that can attend every event, as well as for those that need help with a specific area. I definitely won't be able to make it on the 5th, but will you have an installfest on the 12th? I didn't see a schedule on the site, but I was probably just being blind. Is there a set schedule of events yet?
