[AuckLUG] Installfest location

[Sigrid Roehling]

The location of the Installfest is by no means secret. The campus and 
the building we're in just happens to be a maze and I didn't want to 
start any back and forth with directions.

In addition to that, being a university, unexpected things happen 
sometimes, room bookings get misplaced, etc. So, the location isn't 
fixed until I send out the reminder a couple of days before. And I'm 
still working on a better map to send with that.

The registration process is purely for planning reasons and all you 
have to do is email me with the time you want to come and what computer 
you'll bring.

And we don't require you to *bring* your own CDs, but you have to 
*organize* them yourself (except for Ubuntu) because Ubuntu happens what 
I have lying around. We have started a thread on the forum about what 
distributions helpers will bring. So, if you want something in 
particular, post it there and most likely someone will bring it along.

I'd like to apologize that obviously these things haven't been made 
clear enough in the publicity materials. I will strive for better 
clarity next time. In the meantime I would like to thank Karl for very 
accurately pointing out that we are doing this for free and all we would 
like in return is a bit of advance notice so that we can plan accordingly.

Thank you.
