Install fests are a good idea.

I like this idea. We could have an install/fixfest, and while the 
install in happening, answer questions. It would be a good supplement 
(or sometime even alternative) to big lecture-type meetings. Perhaps 
newTLUG would be more interested in these? Do they already have 
something like this? I really like the idea of getting to know others 
better, which is hard to do at regular meetings :(

[ p.s. perhaps someone can forward this to newTLUG (I am not 
subscribed); they would probably be more interested in the idea]

Although LinuxCaffe may be a little small for regular meetings, it would 
be the perfect place for Guru Days, because the attendance would 
probably be limited anyways (by # of experts present and interest). It 
would offer a better atmosphere and better accommodations (tables, 
drinks) than a university lecture room. It suits the cozy atmosphere 
that these sessions are aiming for.

Can't wait to see LinuxCaffe open for business :)
