Ubuntu Install Fest etc.

[Aaron Haviland]

I think the original intent of the installfest in January was to work
with MIT's IAP (independant activities period) and somehow integrate our
LoCo into something that could be a part of that program.

I'm assuming this never came about... or there'd be more information on
the Wiki about it. Is that a fair guess?

I definitely second this safety aspect, and would caution against asking
the public to bring in heavy equipment, but I think we could still bring
in stuff ourselves, as a demonstration or a class of some sort.

We definitely should have something in the winters... to keep the
momentum of the group going. Maybe some non-ubuntu related group events
as well.

I'm out of ideas at the moment...
