[wplug-announce] Installfest this Saturday March 4 10am-5pm CMU NSH 3rd floor Perlis Atrium (3rd floor).

[Beth Lynn]

Hello,

Western PA Linux Users Group invites you to an Installfest
on this Saturday March 4, 2006. It will take place in
Carnegie Mellon University's Newell Simon Hall Perlis Atrium on the 3rd 
floor and will run from 10am until 5pm. The host will be Beth Lynn Eicher
(bethlynn at wplug.org)

***** New Venue Information *******
Newell Simon Hall Perlis Atrium is accessible from the 3rd floor entrance 
of Newell Simon Hall which is level with Forbes Avenue. This is a wide 
open cafeteria-style space located just steps from our new meeting room 
Newell Simon 3002. We have made arrangements for the 3rd floor entrance of 
Newell Simon to be open therefore you will not have to call for someone to 
let you in. We'll have signs to indicate that you are getting close so 
come right in!
Please note that since there is limited parking right in front of Newell 
Simon Hall, you may want to consider parking in the Morewood Parking lot.
No matter where you park, you will be permitted to borrow a cart but you 
will need to come inside Newell Simon Hall 3002 to retrieve/return it.
Since this is a new venue, I encourage all to check out the map before
heading out.

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.

Installfest, 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.

As always, installfests 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 will be served around noon so be sure to bring $5 if you wish
to eat lunch with us.
Don't make me stand up on a chair this time! PEEET-ZA!

Hope to see you there,

Beth Lynn Eicher
