Combine the old-style "Linux install fest" with elements of our abandoned NewUserNight project to create a <NOP>HelpFest. A <NOP>HelpFest would be targeted at anyone who needs help with Linux and/or other GNHLUG.FreeSoftware. Anything from installing Linux for the first time to getting some particular aspect of their system working to tweaking a particular program. Ingredients: * warm bodies (volunteers) * a decent Internet connection * a working Linux box with * local copies of most major distros * local mirrors of recent updates for those distros * third-party releases likely to be of interest (e.g., <NOP>OpenOffice.org) * a CD-RW drive for "burn on demand" CD production * a small Ethernet LAN to connect it all together * a computer projection screen would be nice, but isn't required -- Main.BenScott - 10 Feb 2004
