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.

Ironically, I am by myself doing some Linux installs at the second floor
computers right now.
Not part of the Linux Install Friday event, though; but could be say that
it is if someone pops up. :)
Yes, Omni is a bit quiet at this time; the work party ended about 45mins
ago.
So... I highly suggest people to come and give us a hand to fix the
building, so the ballroom and the rest of the building can be open for the
public. It will increase traffic to all points in omni; imho.

Thursdays are way too crowded to have anything else meeting in the building
- already sudomesh can rarely meet in sudo on Thursdays and usually has to
find some other nook in the building. Better that more folks come to help
with Linux Installfest and make Fridays warmer. Have been thinking of
asking Korl and Optik folks if we could coordinate weekly movie nights in
the basement. Open to rad movie suggestions and other co-hosts!

Yeah!!
Hey although I see the sudomesh organizing meeting on the omni calendar on Tuesday's
it's not listed on Sudoroom
Also even tho sudomesh people attend Thursday's they are not on the Sudoroom Thursday
calendar so should it be re added?
Friday's should be promoted !

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?

Great point Stephen!
But let me tell you : we are not just SUdoRoom. we do not have "workshops
to expedite linux and help people."
we are FREAKs.
I repackage your excellent idea to rename linux install. I know this is
gross marketing but it's true. Plus we can't complete with all these
prepackaged, squeaky clean microsoft it certified professional code
bootcamp folks.
*LINUX FREAKY FRIDAYS*
come to SudoRoom Friday and let your FREAK FLAG FLY
Help others raise their LINUX FREAK FLAG
if people are cursed with normal then teach them the ways
we are what was once San Francisco!
Hoist the freak flag high over the east bay!
11:45 a.m.
Stephen idea is good and it is more open for people to attend; "Linux
installations AND general Linux hacking / Linux help office hours".
For example, I myself have a question (that has nothing to do with
installs) that have searched online about three times and I don't seem to
find the answer that fits my need. So, this new kind of Friday seems a
very appropriate place to ask for it.

Please stop with the gross marketing. Seriously.
Linux is not "weird" or "freaky." It's an operating system that
many people
choose to use, for one reason or another.
Also, I'd really appreciate it if you'd consolidate your emails, Romy. Over
half of the sudo-discuss emails I receive are from you. Low traffic is not,
in and of itself, a bad thing. Your emails are often on similar subjects or
could be threaded with when you've brought them up in the past, instead of
creating a new email thread.
