Linux Install Fest
Some of the money (how much is yet to be decided) was awarded for supporting Bristol Wireless Events (not beer money for the party unfortunately) and at the last Real-Life meeting at the Lab it was decided that the big giveaway day events were probably a bit too much hard work to organise on the entirely voluntary basis that it was before, and the benefits were a bit dubious.
An alternative suggested then was a joint event with the Bristol Linux Users Group, a Linux Install fest/computing festival which we have tenatively pencilled in for end of Feb/ Beginning of March.
This could include
Staged Giveaway event (photo opportunity/publicity) just a few machines
Workshops Node building
Dual booting service
Food/Creche
Course sign up
Vendor stalls
Lets set a first planning meeting for Tuesday Jan 6th
Anything anybody would like to do or see happen – post it here.
