[Smaug] Fwd: [SlugLUG] Installfest Nov 22nd?

[Peter Belew]

So true - finals end on or before the 13th. The timing probably accounted
for the low turnout last Spring.

A good time for an installfest is 2 or 3 weeks into a quarter.

Still, we could possibly try, as an exercise. No later that the weekend of
the first.
