Suggestions? History? Historically installfests are on a Saturday and begin at noon. I have noticed that by around 6 or 7 o'clock people tend to be about ready to be done. We do normally have pizza delivered so you are right on with the food answer. I had a passing idea the other night. Why not collectively build and installfest box? We could all pitch in parts and time and a couple bucks and build a decent server to hold distros and burn off ISO's and the like. I am sure we could even find a home (possibly a roaming home) for the box to live while it is not at an installfest. My thought is, have it live at something like installfest.tclug.org (/me smiles at jima) and allow people to use it on a regular basis. Of course, this would require extra bandwidth (which is not free). However, we could also use if for some low-bandwidth applications, like installfest documentation and picture archives.
