[FredLUG] Re: InstallFest details

[Chris O'Donnell]

I can't commit to being there due to possible out of town company that 
weekend. I probably won't know until the last minute. However, if they 
don't show I will plan to be there to help out.

 I will take on a batch of  Ubuntu Live CDs.  I'll meet up with somebody 
prior to the InstallFest to hand them over, or just swing by at 9 AM 
that Sat to drop them off if my company is here and I can't stay.

Chris
