hello

thought you might have some ideas or experience to share ..

i'm a college student in toronto, canada. we have install fests every semester but they are getting too slow. only about 5 clients showed up to the last one.

i really can't find an explanation for this (unless it's my presence that drives people away ). is linux getting too easy to install or are people less interested?

anyway, i got permission to open the install fest to the public and i have no clue about how to let people know about it. the next one will be in september so i still have some time to advertise. i could use some advice about advertising to the students too. our campus is small but we have a university campus for a neighbour so maybe i can do something there too

i made a wiki entry on the city's lug page

really, any ideas you have, please share because i have none left

thanks!

oh, sorry didn't notice this category

That's why we have moderators, no biggie..

word of mouth is a good way... you probably want something cheap... how about leaflets given to the local computer store to hand out?

hey i didn't think of that. cool. i can go and ask the school to let me post notices on their boards around campus, someone has to notice them

great idea

mabey its because you got most of the interested clients, and they dont need to isntall again
