CLUE holds installfests regularly in Westminster and the Denver Tech Center. The goal is every other month, alternating between north and south locations. Dates are requested right after the previous installfest and posted here when they are confirmed.

Announcements are sent to the CLUE Announce list when the details are known. Please subscribe there if you want reminders, there is little other traffic on that list.

The next CLUE Installfest is planned for:

Date:	September 18 or 25 (unconfirmed)
Time:	9am to 4pm (doors close at 1pm)
Location:	DeVry University
Address:	6312 S. Fiddlers Green Cr. Suite 150E Greenwood Village, CO 80111
Directions:	Here's a map. The DeVry classrooms are in a very cool building at the corner of Greenwood Plaza Blvd and Fiddler's Green Cr. Greenwood Plaza is the light just west of I-25 on Orchard (the map makes it look like Syracuse Way, but it's Greenwood Plaza--bear left at the first light south of Orchard). Please park in the regular spots (not the visitors' spots) in the parking garage to the east of the building. You can stop to unload on the circle between the building and the parking garage. Then please go around to the opposite side of the garage (the east side) to park. If the gates are down the code is 1111#. We'll be in room 117 in the east wing, to the left as you enter the atrium. The atrium doors will close at about 1pm. If you arrive after that you can call Dave at 720-490-9901.

Logistics:

• Monitors, keyboards, mice, network cables, power cords, and wired network will be available (they come with the room).
  • We have our own wireless (802.11b/g only). DeVry's wireless requires Bluesocket.
  • We have 2 adapters to connect PS-2 mouse/keyboard to USB.
  • We have 700MB CD-Rs, 16x DVD-Rs, and envelopes, to burn whatever distro you need.
  • I need to get an adapter to connect DVI video to a VGA monitor (we needed one in May).
• Distros to be provided for others to copy include recent versions of SuSE, Fedora, Knoppix, *buntu, and Debian. Others can be provided upon request (please contact Dave Anselmi ... if I can find it, I will attempt to bring it).
• I usually have a switch and some patch cables. If you think you need something else tell Dave Anselmi.

No food or drink (other than in capped bottles) is permitted in the lab. There is a student commons just down the corridor, so if you want to bring a lunch, or order out, you can eat there. We may order pizza, or burritos, or ... if there's enough interest.

If you want help with a specific issue please post it to the CLUE-Tech mailing list so we know whether anyone can help you. We might also be able to suggest preparation you can do or things to bring to make it easier to get you taken care of.

If you're an experienced hand at Linux, this is a great opportunity to help others get their Linux boxen up and running. If you are new to Linux this is a great opportunity to leave with a working box you can experiment with at home. If you're in between, surely you need a few hours alone with your computer to get a project done, right?

For more information, contact Dave Anselmi.

An 'Installfest' is a social gathering where folks interested in Linux share knowledge about Linux installation and configuration. Often, those new to or interested in Linux will bring their computers for installation assistance. Others have already installed Linux and wish to try out new configurations or software. Typically, the CLUE installfests last for most of a weekend day.
