WHOA NELLY!

This is growing and that is cool, good and all, but this is NOT
something that can be done in a 2 hours.

There was a group (SIG) that did this before, Jay and Dan each organized
one. It is something that I think is a great idea (we use to do
installfests but stopped) but isn't really suitable for a meeting. This
is a hands on.

Now, if someone is interested in organizing (space being the hardest and
I rather not try for Oracle since we are lucky to be getting the space
right now for free on weekends) I am willing to offer suggestions,
guidance, help, etc.

I would like to see a small fee charged to defray any costs and purchase
 lunch for the instructors/helpers.
