[ocbug] Install fests, meeting dates etc. etc.

[Diane Bruce]

Hi,

Last night was the meeting of the Ottawa Amateur Radio Club.
(http://www.oarc.net). I had a talk to give about our new website, so
I had a chance to plug FreeBSD. To this end I grabbed a bunch of PCBSD
DVDs from Dru yesterday, I got rid of all the i386 DVDs as handouts.
I had one person ask about netbook support. I have/had no idea. I think
that one might have to be a standard FreeBSD install.

Now, to the install fest. As you know we had one fairly productive mini-install
fest involving only OCBUG members, meant as a dry run for a more ambitious
public install fest. We'd like to do another one before trying for anything
more public, again with only OCBUG members present. This way we get egg
on our faces only with ourselves. We had lined up another installfest
for last weekend (March 6), only to see ourselves duly snowed in with one
person totally unable to show up. Normand has foolishily (thank you Normand!)
agreed to host a final second one at the end of this month. (March 27).
I think we could use one or two more people as guinea pigs, if that is
ok with Normand. (Up to him)  

So to this end it would be good to move the regular beer'n'pizza
meeting to the Wednesday March 16. Dru cannot make it to the March 27
intallfest, but it would still be good to discuss an upcoming larger public
installfest with everyone in the group. Would that work for everyone?
