We discussed this and decided that, since we did not know if anyone had made plans to attend it, we would attend it ourselves to make sure no-one was left out. We had about 12 machines which we installed Linux on, including two 486's, a homemade plexiglass PII, some laptops, a Mac 7200 PPC, and an I-Mac. Everyone had a great time. Christopher has some pics from his digital camera and is going to let us know as soon as they are on the web. Thanks to everyone who showed up and helped to make this event a success.
Pictures are available here .
Attended by Chris Robertson, Rick Niess, Tim Lawless, and Dr. Kolibal. Because of the lack of planning due to sparse meeting attendance, we decided it may be best to postpone the InstallFest. The secretary expressed this opinion to the rest of the group via the mailing list. After discussing via the mailing list, we decided, due to the previous announcements and interest expressed by members of the community, that it would be prudent to hold the InstallFest as planned anyway, in spite of the risk of low turnout. Apparently only a few people showed up, and they seem to have missed each other.
