Linux InstallFest Fridays

Every Friday night at SudoRoom!

Goals:

Welcome new users to GNU/Linux, and other unix-like operating systems, as well as encourage self-directed and peer-learning!
Create an environment to celebrate and enjoy the fruits of our collective labor installing, using, supporting, developing, and fixing operating systems based on Linux, and other similar unix-like operating systems, especially those that are Free Software / Open Source!
Support use and improvement of Linux for computers in the Omni Commons building, as well as the wider community (wherever they may be--work, home, public spaces, etc)!
Experiment with using programs that run on the Linux system to help solve problems in our daily lives, especially by re-purposing tools beyond their original, intended use!

Project ideas:

Internet radio with Icecast and Darkice!
