| Installfest - Needs You! | |
| Submitted by BlakJak on 28 Jul 2004 - 10:27pm | Auckland |
| FURTHER UPDATE: 22 October 2004 - INSTALLFEST CONFIRMED FOR 31 OCTOBER 2004, AUT CONFERENCE ROOMS, AUCKLAND CBD NZLUG in Auckland is planning another Installfest to run in Late October 2004. Our last couple have been successful and we hope for even more success again! We do however, need... volunteers :-) Both in the initial organisation and on-the-day. For those unfamiliar with the concept of an Installfest - heres the deal. - Members of the public bring in their computer systems. - NZLUG Members will assist you in installing your own Linux system. This can be dedicated, or co-exist with your existing OS of choice. - We'll help you get everything working, and answer any questions you may have. - Its possible that some of our supporting vendors will also have a presence. - A great opportunity to get in touch with fellow linux enthusiasts, swap stories, and tech support! NZLUG Members are welcome to join our installfest mailing list and participate in the coordination and discussion around how we get this thing going - and we will of course need people who can show up on the day - either to have an installation done, or help us with getting installations done for others! Above all these events do not succeed without the participation of the membership. This will be an all day event. We have a NEED for NZLUG members - you dont have to be a guru - to help out on the day. So far we have confirmed the availability of cheap (eg cost) copies of the latest Distros - with thanks to our good friends at Dick Smith Electronics -, as well as the opportunity to pick up a copy of SuSE 9.1 Professional at a very good price, with thanks to Novell. We're lining up new deals all the time, so if you want to take advantage and be involved, join in! LUG Members who'd like to help run the event: email majordomo@ linux {dot} net.nz with 'subscribe installfest' and join our mailing list. People pondering Linux who'd like to get it installed on the day: Keep an eye out for The Installfest Site which should be live as at End of Business Friday 22nd - use this site to register. Note this is all FREE. See you there! Note: Due to catering contracts and health & safety regulations there will no longer be a barbeque on-site; apologies to anyone this inconveniences. | |
