I was thinking of MCTC myself, but I dont think they have a classroom/lab big enough to house ~70 people and their computers but the Learning Center has a computer room that should be big enough... I used to work in the IT department at MCTC and I know the Admins there; they are cool about Open Source Software but the CIO is a MickySoft guy. He should not make problems if we go to the Learning Center. (out of his juristiction) -Munir PS. The MnSCU system has a site licence for almost all Microsoft Products, I believe the license for Microsoft Office is about to run out and with the prices going up they are looking for a cheaper alternative (StarOffice) maybe someone can rig together a presentation of OpenOffice (it has to run on Windows). >>> "Bill Layer" <blayer at qwest.net> 09/24/01 12:36 PM >>> Clay, On or about Mon, 24 Sep 2001 12:10:51 -0500 Clay Fandre reportedly said... > > Anyone have any idea when the next Installfest may be coming up? > > Whenever I can find a place to hold it.

I may have a possibility for our next installfest. I have a friend on the inside at MCTC (Downtown Mpls) who says that they may be willing to give us use of a classroom or lab to have the installfest. (They have a T1 line there...) What we need to do, is have some club official (that is, you Clay) write a simple request / proposal descibing what we do, what we need, hours of use etc. Stress the public educational mission of the TCLUG Installfest events... Email it to: farrelam at mctc.mnscu.edu and she will forward it along to the right people. With a bit of luck, we may have our venue. -.bill.layer.- -.those who are talking don't know, and those who know aren't talking.- -.frogtown.- -.minnesota.- -.u.s.a.- _______________________________________________ tclug-list mailing list tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
