I'm interested in helping with the installfest by:
- dealing with all the technical stuff (ISO burning, event network, etc)
- presentations
- event installer/assistant/etc
- installfest webpage

but I don't have the time to talk to sponsors, promote it, etc, so
someone else will be needed for this.

yes - anyone interested in helping with the installfest, please join the
wellylug-org list (if you haven't already). Please start all new
installfest threads there.
