The Egyptian Linux Users' Group's Second InstallFest 2005
I was not an active participant in the installfest this year; partially due to lack of time and partially out of a desire to see the
LUG grow up and find itself new cadres of dynamic people to lead it out of dependence on the four people who founded it (being one of those four myself).
Yesterday was the InstallFest, and I am extremely proud of what I have helped create. The boys were organized, visitors went away intrigued, impressed, and sold on open source. The atmosphere was friendly, relaxed, and exciting.
I'm really proud of what I have helped to create. I am proud of being able to reach people in a way which Microsoft, IBM, Oracle, and HP to name a few never will dream of being able to. Evidence? Look at this picture:

If that isn't the most remarkable marketing picture for Ubuntu anyone has ever seen I'll be damned. Mark Shuttleworth, you owe me!
