<br>
If the Science Center doesn't go for the Linux Installfest<br>
idea at their facility, I was thinking of pitching a grander <br>
plan: An Educational Computer Show.<br>
<br>
Idea:<br>
1. Invite local user groups to come. Windows, Mac, Linux, BSD, <br>
anyone I've forgotten.<br>
2. Have presentations by each.<br>
3. Computers set up for Kids and Adults to play with.<br>
4. Each group mans their area to education and assist. <br>
5. All day or All weekend event.<br>
<br>
We will probably have to think a year or so in the future, and <br>
still plan our usual Installfest for this year. <br>
<br>
I may pitch the idea even if they allow our Installfest.<br>
<br>
What do you think?<br>
