i think it a sad state of affairs that a contributor's chosen vocabulary should be under attack. One single word. This is a forum for exchanging ideas. What ever happened to signing the Code of Conduct. I have signed it and abide by it, George. Have you?

(Hand up those that needed to look for the definition in a dictionary). While I agree that InstallFest doesn't generate automatic interest these days, I disagree that it's a made up word used just by geeks. In 2002 (and other years), LinuxSA held an Installfest where the installations were mostly going onto peoples computers that hadn't used Linux before. How did these members of the public know what an InstallFest was? We educated them, put flyers up at Uni notice boards (I think via the radio also). Wow that was really 10 years ago, feel like it was last year sometimes. Open Day: sounds like a space full of displays and perhaps people trying to sell you products, ideas or services, for example University Open days. Workshop: sounds like planned sessions with a fixed schedule. InstallFest:: Probably too geeky unless you are prepared to explain what an InstallFest is. For these reason, all of the above is not ideal. As an idea, what about Ubuntu Install Day? Though that sounds like it excludes people that are wanting to ask questions. <div class="im"> > Great initiative, Jared. Good luck. > </div>Agreed with the above. Regards George </blockquote></div>
