Georgia Tech Research Institute is requesting staffing of a High School Installfest they are hosting. Last year this event was between 100-150 high school students, and this year they're expecting about the same.
I have some stickers and pens, but the event needs media and a person(s) to staff the event. Last year it was Scott McBrien (StabbyMc) and Lynn Dixon (cubedroot). If you have questions about last years event, you can ask us.

Last year the event was until the early afternoon and essentially we just went around the room from student to student getting whatever system they brought operational and partitioned (or not if they wanted to wipe it) so that they could be installed. The student chose which distro they wanted, and about 1/4-1/3 were Fedorans, the others were Ubuntu.
I suggested last year that maybe they do the morning as install and have break-outs in the afternoon since different distros do things differently, but I don't think that's going to happen.
Need about 100 pieces of media for the event.
