I'm all for the idea of mini-installfests, though as a newbie operating without benefit of clue I'm not sure I could contribute to the discussions side much. Would the BoF sessions be themed, so that one week might be detailed discussion about configuring SAMBA, but the next session might be 'Linux in schools'. I know the idea is to have free-flowing discussion, but it helps to have a prompt, and to know if it would be way out of my league. Cheers, Paul
