[Penguicon-tech] LUGs & Installfests

[Steve G. <Ste...@co...>]

Would like to get feedback on a couple of proposals potentially involving=
 =

the LUGs.  The Metro Detroit LUG has been particularly responsive and
eager to be a presense at Penguicon, and I'd like to try and leverage tha=
t.
 =

What would be your thoughts on inviting them to co-sponsor the installfes=
t,

and having them distribute some type of Linux CDs at the con?  They're =

talking about charging for the CDs (I'm assuming just to recoup media
costs, =

but I'll verify that) at their LUG tables, but I was thinking that if we
offer to have =

them cosponsor the installfest, they should provide CDs there without
charge.

So, does anyone have other plans for the installfest, or think this would=

not
be a good idea?  Have we made any other commitments or had discussions
with any other groups (like SEMISLUG) to do this?  What do you folks thin=
k
of the idea in general?
