Saturday 29th of December was one of the days that I would never forgot, We worked really hard to prepare for the festival and we got it done in less than three weeks.

The event was a great success, we installed GNU/Linux on about 30 boxes, distributed about 300 DVD and 100 CD mainly Ubuntu 7.10 and Fedora 8 but OpenSuse 10.3 has its dose too (I can tell that people liked it even more than Fedora)

The goals of festival were met, we wanted to turn luggers on and to get new fresh blood and we succeeds in getting 120 new lug members and the old ones working on new year resolutions now which is great step forward for us.

People were amused by the topics of Free Software, Open Source, starting from the philosophy ending with the available technologies, They were asking Are you doing this for free? we thought you’re going to sell us something and the answer was Of course, we are selling you your freedom

Now we are planning to setup another installation festival within four months, hopefully we will find a sponsor so we can achieve a larger class of people.

Kudos to JoLug members who helped to make this event one memorable event, hopefully we will have more good news to share soon.

leave you with some photos of the installation festival.
