Re: New Student Organization and Next Meeting Location

Unfortunately I will be unable to attend this coming meeting.

I would like to remind everyone that it is important to be respectful  
of the resources being provided too us and clean up after ourselves.

Keep these thoughts in mind for the discussing the install fest:

1) Which distro(s) will we be helping people install?
2) Will we be answering support questions and/or working on systems  
that are already installed? If they are running a very old distro  
should we ask them to upgrade their distro
3) Need disclaimers to make it perfectly clear we (and the  
university) are not responsible for any loss of data
4) Will we be providing backup's and restores of peoples data from  
one OS to another?
5) Which day of the week should the installfest be on? A weekend or a  
week night.


Mike.
