Re: [BLUG] Linux LanParty/Linux Fest

I think this event would be a lot of fun and quite educational.

I would bring my openSUSE laptop to the event...

Either date works for me.

Thanks for organizing this!

 Well, with IU's LinuxFest now in the past and the oppurtunity for
others to pick up the slack, I thought it would be a good time to try
something new. Suso would like to host a Linux LAN Party some Saturday
in April that would go from like noon til 2am or something. Activities
could include games, sharing information, tutorials, hanging out, etc.
I also wanted to make this a Blender Users Group thing too.

 What I wanted to ask everyone is how much interest would there be in
this?  Would you bring a computer to the event?  Marina and I agreed
that Suso would be able to sponsor space and buy refreshments. Our new
office suite is big enough to maybe have space for 10-12 people to sit
comfortably with their computers in the front area with some room for
people to wark around.  We also have the ability to reserve things like
the Fountain Square ballroom, but Saturdays are not as easy to get.  But
other space in FSM is available too.

 Also, what Saturday would work, I think April 11th or 18th would be
good.  The 18th seems to be most ideal because there aren't any
significant events I could find for that weekend.  The 25th-26th is the
IU LAN war 16 and Little 5 so it would be nice to have it before or
after that so it wouldn't interfere.
