[NYLoCo] InstallFest - Maybe try Feisty first?

[Sandra Greer]

I agree.

This would bring us to just before Christmas, which may or may not be  
a good thing. Major party? It's also a good time to go trolling for  
older systems being replaced.

I'm singing a couple of concerts the two weekends before -- I bet a  
lot of people are super busy also. But there are those who will find  
our plan very attractive; sure beats getting a couple of sweaters.

  From a "they should like us" point of view, The easiest way to get
people to like a new product is when everything goes off without a
hitch.  So, why not use the 8 weeks (give or take) to plan a formal  
event?

Not only will your event be better, but the chances that the repos will
have software for funky hardware will be greatest.
