I agree.  But before I can make pitches elsewhere to get volunteers, I
need to be able to put together a halfway-decent info packet.  And a
little prior planning for the project doesn't hurt, either. :-)

So, with that in mind, here is a list of things to be addressed:
* Where are the PCs coming from?
* What will be the minimum performance level for the machines?
* Can we get parts to upgrade poorer machines to this minimum?
* What distribution will be installed on *all* of the machines?
(Determined by the minimum performance level)
* Who will want the machines?
* Can they take care of the machines? How do we ensure that we don't
become a maintenance crutch. Or do we want to do support?
* Where will the install fest work take place?

For my information packet, I'll need to at least know where the
machines are coming from, where they'll be going and where people will
need to show up in order to help.
