RE: Linux Demo Day

["Burke, Jason" <JBurke@lrs.com>]

Well, If everything was left up to me (and at this point it seems like
that's a possibility) I would contact Best Buy (since they are one of
the only distributors of Linux in the area) or the mall, and see if they 
would be interested in hosting the demo day on a saturday. To pull it
off we would need a couple of things:

6-8 computers of varying speeds running various distros.
2 large signs with the words "Linux Demo Day" on them.
1 large table
1 server computer running a apache.
a monstrous amount of business cards for LUCI
Flyers describing the benefits of Linux, and other related things.
8 people who are willing to answer questions, and give people
   a 5 minute walk through on the system.

Aside from this we would need to start advertising now for this event
through WYMG, State Journal Register, etc. So if you're interested
in helping out with this let me know ASAP, so we can get everyone
together and hammer down the planning stage. We'll have the demo
day on either the 12th or the 18th of September (hmmm..maybe both
days would be good, at two different locations), so if you already have
something planned then we understand, however if you don't and you're
not coding free software, then this is a great way to give back to the
Linux community.

PS: I have a computer that is sutable as a sever (A P90), and I also have 
two workstations (A PII 333, and a P100) that I can bring.
