I wonder if it would affect attendance if Friday was advertised as being for both Linux installations AND general Linux hacking / Linux help office hours? I can't speak for others, but I think my perception was that "oh, I already have a Linux install going; guess there's no point in attending". I like the notion of expanding the event's scope to include anything Linux-y folks are doing, and offering help to post-install Linux users. What do folks think?

Hi I was in the space last night (Friday) on the tail end of the Linux install fest fridays.Lately fridays have been kind of dead. I think Thursday is our most happening night, and usually the Omni is pretty empty on Friday. 

There were some cool guests dropping by, and from what i heard they were ready to go, but they seemed let down by the lack of people and activity. i don't think they said it out loud.

I'm wondering: what do you think? Should we move installfest to the Thursday party night? that might also interfere with the javascript evening.

Or should we rephrase the Friday night expectations so that people don't expect it to be this organized, orderly event? I think the thursdays are more of a hangout night, and there are other groups there Thursday but Friday not so much. 

I'm fine going there and hacking in peace and quiet. But I don't want people to leave disappointed.
