> hi,
>
> This is a reminder that there will be an installfest today, Fathers'  
> Day, 10:00 a.m. to 5 pm at a public middle school at Geary and Scott  
> Streets in San Francisco.  There is ample free parking.  If you are  
> interested in showing up and you have questions, please feel free to  
> call Christian Einfeldt at 415-351-1300.  Please also feel free to  
> call Jeff Shippen at 5O5-8O3-3456.  Please do not contact the  
> school, as the principal has delegated control over these types of  
> activities to Christian Einfeldt, and the staff will only be  
> confused by phone calls.
>
> It is recommended that you approach the school from the entrance to  
> the parking lot, which is located at the L-shaped intersection of  
> Pierce and O'Farrell.  Please do NOT attempt to gain entrance to  
> this installfest by going to the front of the school, as the school  
> is huge, and you will just get lost.  Instead, please call Christian  
> Einfeldt or Jeff Shippen at the above numbers on the day of the  
> event to direct you to the Linux lab where the work will be done.
>
> The entrance to the school parking lot is located about 40 meters  
> from the corner of Pierce and O'Farrell, which is an L-shaped  
> intersection.  Please enter this search string into your favorite  
> mapping service:

> Agenda:
> 1) triaging, repairing, and installing Linux on old computers in  
> storage at the school
> 2) supporting the installation of Linux on old computers brought to  
> the school by newbies.
>
> We have ample monitors, keyboards, and mice to support the  
> installation of Linux on old computers brought in by newbies.  We  
> also have lots of distros and screwdrivers; however, we encourage  
> people to bring their own distro collections due to the sheer size  
> of the distro choices availabe.  We also encourage people to bring  
> their own screwdrivers, needle nose pliers, and any other tools  
> needed to work on legacy machines.
>
> The computers will be deployed there at the school; or given to kids  
> who attend that school; or will be sent to Mexico, where GNOME  
> Foundation Executive Director Stormy Peters is building a Linux lab  
> at a school:
