أسماء المتطوعين:

من فضلك زود اسمك هنا لو حتقدر تساعد

General Ideas:

Gaming box, showing some games running on linux.
A box to install ubnutu on Flash disks.
We should have an ISO library, just in case anyone needed something other than ubuntu.
Remaster an ubuntu ISO with something like:
- EGLug logo somewhere
- A cool theme
- Open Office 3.0
- compiz installed with ready profile
- Firefox with flash and java and goes to eglug.org.
- xchat preconfigured to access #eglug@freenode.net
- EGLug wallpaper.
- Music/movies codecs.
- Fonts.
- Some cool apps.
- Updates
- What else ?
A server install? Install GNU/Linux as a desktop AND as a server? We should have more distro's if we are going with this.
Local server for DNS/DHCP, ISO hosting and repository mirror.
Be prepared for nasty hardware problems especially if we are expecting a lot of laptop installations. I recommend we do some research on this and get the required resources before the fest.
have a couple of rescue CD's and Windows(original) CD just in case something gets b0rked!
VMware/Vbox disk images ready with GNU/Linux.
We need to have CD's for xubuntu for older machines (256M or lower) and ubuntu alternative installation CD (text mode installer, useful for strange hardware).

I am ready to volunteer and work at the installfest, and just for your records, fest in installfest doesn't mean "feast", but it means "festival" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Installfest#Installfests

no keys supplied with it, you can skip and use the trial version when it asks about keys 30 days are given, after that the system keeps running but without updates... it is still Linux with GPL, so you can't call it pirated
