Hello,

Western PA Linux Users Group invites you to an Installfest
on this Saturday January 8, 2005. It will take place in
Carnegie Mellon University's Newel Simon Hall, room 1507
and will run from 10am until 5pm.

Please visit our new Maps and Directions page
http://www.wplug.org/pages/wplugmap/
Please note that our phone number is currently 412 268 7564
If you've never been here before make sure you print out the
directions!

Please show up earlier rather than later to ensure that you can get help.
For example, if you show up much later than 2pm it is likely that you will 
not have enough time to install and configure.

Installfests, as well as all WPLUG meetings, are open to the general
public. If you just want to see what Linux is about or you've been
a Linux guru for years, the WPLUG installfest is for you.

For those who don't know, the purpose of an installfest is to
facilitate new installations of Linux as well as troubleshoot, upgrade,
or generally provide help with an existing installations.  If you just
want to just show off your new hardware or some software goodies, that's
cool too. So bring your machine and have some fun!

As well as your machine, you will want to bring your monitor, network
cables, power cables, surge protector, mouse, keyboard, media, etc.
Don't worry, there will be a cart on hand to haul all of your stuff in.

Installfests of course also need volunteers to help with the installs
and generally be available for questions.  So even if you don't feel like
bringing your own machine, come and help others out!

Pizza lunch will be served around noon for a donation of $5.
Don't make me stand up on a chair this time! PEEET-ZA!

ATTENTION:
This meeting will continue to offer the opportunity to pre-register 
yourself for membership membership. While WPLUG will always be free and 
open to the public, we are offering the optional opportunity for greater 
involvement. Eventually, elections will take place at a yet to be 
determined date.

Hope to see you there

Beth Lynn
