Hi folks, The installfest is set for Saturday, December 3rd at Watkins College of Art, Design & Film:
2298 Rosa L Parks Blvd, Nashville, TN 37228 http://www.watkins.edu/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watkins_College_of_Art,_Design_%26_Film Meetup post is here: https://www.meetup.com/Nashville-Linux-Users-Group/events/235418167/ Curt, I needed to select times, so I chose 10:00am to 5:00pm; please let me know if I need to change that (or if we have the option to expand the hours, if there's enough interest in doing so). I assume those of us working the installfest will need to be onsite an hour before the start time for setup, and plan on an additional hour afterwards for teardown/cleanup/loadout. Howard, if you'll mention this during the Nov 8th NLUG meeting, I'd appreciate it. Call for volunteers to work the installfest is officially open. Post here and/or email me offlist. If anyone wants to do a talk, presentation, workshop, or something similar, speak up. Again, post here and/or email me offlist. Comments/(constructive) criticisms/suggestions are welcome. Yet again, post here and/or email me offlist.

Where else? Local tech/IT groups & relevant Meetup groups? Nashville/Mid-TN area colleges & universities (IT departments & relevant student organizations in particular)? _Your_suggestions_here_? Sponsors: Curt, what's the deal wrt a possible food sponsor, say for lunch? And/or maybe bringing in something like coffee & bagels for breakfast? Basically, I'm asking if we can bring in free food to further tempt potential attendees, assuming we can find a sponsor or two and behave like responsible adults (ie - no messes & we make sure we clean up at the end)? That's all I've got for now. ~~Dru PS - Wadda ya know, three folks have RSVP'd via meetup & the announcement only went out ~45min ago. That looks promising. -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NLUG" group.
