Re: [MLUG] Installfest?

[George Robb <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

No prob on getting the rooms in Townsend if the crowd doesn't get TOO 
big (over 150 might be slightly problematic but, the rooms connect to 
one another and I can reserve 2) I will check for scheduling...   
Network shouldn't be a problem either...  Townsend is saturated with 
wireless and I will check with IATS on permission to use a NAT router / 
IP masq solution for that day...  If people could BYONC (bring your own 
network cable) or maybe a switch here and there we could for sure make 
networking happen...

I can also provide a very temporary samba "dump" server for .ISOs and 
possible mirrors 50 Gigs or so...

What else do we need group?  BTW April 2 sounds great...
