Re: LinuxFest / InstallFest

These would be my only concerns:

1) Time: Depending on how many people show up, the event may need to  
run past 8:30. Installing a new OS and getting updates typically  
takes an hour or 2 depending on the speed of the machine.

2) Network: We'll need a network connection that un-registered MAC  
addresses can connect to. We wouldn't want to send people home  
without all the current software updates. I know ESB used to be picky  
about letting people on their network that weren't registered with them.

MorLUG can provide switches and/or hubs to handle the networking  
issues in the room. (if ESB can't provide a port that's open to  
unknown MACs we could setup a NAT through a computer that is  
registered with them)

3) Power: we can provide a number of power strips, so this shouldn't  
be too large of a problem.

Other than those, combining efforts defiantly makes sense for this.

I'm going to try to arrange my schedule to make the ACM meeting this  
wednesday ... if you could find out about #2 above by then that would  
be great.

I strongly recommend that MorLUG's officers attend the meeting if  
they are available. From morlug's standpoint the only thing that  
would change for us is the meeting time and location. I don't think  
we have our promotional materials yet, so it shouldn't be too big of  
a problem.
