Jesse is unavailable on the weekend of May 15/16 and Maker Faire is the 
following weekend, so if we want to do it in May we've got the weekends 
of May 8/9 (only 1 week after release) or 29/30. Giving heed to the 
advice above, we should go with the last weekend in May.

Any preferences on Saturday vs Sunday?

Assuming that one of these days will work, I've taken the liberty of 
creating a page on the Noisebridge wiki about it: 
https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Lucid_Lynx_Installfest

Anyone who wants to volunteer to help, feel free to add your name to 
that page. Unless there are any objections, I'll tentatively announce 
this event at the Noisebridge weekly meeting tomorrow night.
