InstallFerst report

[Jaco van der Merwe]

Hi guys,

Thanks to everyone who attended & participated in the installfest.
I'd estimate there were little over a dozen attendees, all engaging, so I'd
call this one a "win" :)
Space was not a problem (only getting the interwebs going OK; thanks for
sorting this out, Leslie), so we now have a gauge for similar events in
future.

For the most part we dealt with triaging issues, ranging from the usual
common Broadcom wireless stack issues, to bat-doodie-crazy KDE usability
quirks (which I'm still in the dark about, to be honest), & others that had
simply "dissipated", so we didn't get around to doing much "installation" at
the time.

From what I could tell, everyone got a kick out of it, so there's definitely
scope to to this again; even as a semi-regular event.

So, if anyone is keen to do something again, we still have a bunch of
machine left to tinker with (HTPC, VoIP or firewall gateways, anyone?) & the
capacity to accommodate several participants.


Kind regards
