[GRLUG] Worldwide 2007 Mandriva Linux Installfest

[Ron Lauzon]

I just received this today:

Mandriva rallies the community of Linux users in many cities across
the globe on October 21st 2006.

In order to bring Linux to new users and present the new features and
technologies available in Mandriva Linux 2007, Mandriva is mobilizing
its network of Linux User Groups (LUGs) to coordinate a worldwide
Installfest on October 21 2006.

Installations of Mandriva Linux One and Free will take place all
around the world, thanks to the Linux community. Major participating
locations will include the United States, China, Poland, Argentina and
France. Expert Mandriva Linux users are invited to assist beginners to
help them get started with the operating system. Participants will be
able to:

 * Get help on installing Mandriva Linux 2007 on their laptop or
   desktop free of charge.

 * View demonstrations of all that can be done with Mandriva Linux
   2007.

 * Get answers to their questions.

 * Meet other Mandriva Linux users, and chat with their local
   community.

The installation is often the toughest step for a beginner willing to
adopt a new operating system. This is why Mandriva invites anyone
wishing to know Linux better to join the free install fests on October
21st. These installfests are made possible thanks to the power of the
knowledge sharing spirit, one of the keystones of the open source
community.

Be sure to check where installfests are located within your area:
