Good morning,
Personally I think someone should also go into a MAC store and ask one of their "Gurus" to transfer our files over, then show them it's a Linux box not a PC.

That kind of sounds like a small Install fest / exploration with a video 
camera, which is definitely a good idea.

I'm not sure if you did this intentionally, but you didn't hit
"reply all"
so your message didn't go to the mailing list, just me.

Well the only requirements are lots of people, a power source, and shade (so
there would be no glare on the screen). I thought about needing a permit and
we probably do but i don't know about getting one. Does anyone else?

I might be able to do this too-- are you two going to different places, or
driving together? I can't drive yet. What exactly do you do?

Anyways, basically, I'm willing to work on both.  And we could probably

Hah, sorry about that.  Cut & paste error while trying to do too many
things
at once.  I wanted to ask you and thought I should send direct to you.  But
hit reply to Theresa, and removed her from TO without adding her or the list
back to CC!

Okay so this is what i think we need:

   - Time
   - Place
   - Permit
   - Desktop
   - Laptop
   - Camcorder
   - CD's
   - Pamphlets
   - Anything else?

I'd be happy to volunteer my desktop and i can take care of pamphlets.
Would
this also be a good time to collect donations?
