Tucson Installfest arranged for April 2, 2011

We are glad to announce the UofA / AZ LoCo / PLUG Installfest at the U of A Computer Science Dept.
in the atrium of a building and floor to be announced shortly. We will be doing full installs and answering Open Source software questions from 10 am to 4 pm. Please RSVP if you are able to attend or need help with anything. This is an excellent opportunity to get involved with us and to have fun meeting other open sourcer’s.
Keep checking back for more details as they become available.

I have attached a final draft of the Installfest flyer that everyone can and print and distribute.
