| | + | [[w:Linux_User_Group#Installfests|InstallFests]] have been the main event of the VTLUUG for many years. Generally, one a semester is hosted. Turnout in 2009 averaged around 15 participants. The only necessary preparation for attendees is to back their data up and bring their computer and power cord. Volunteers generally bring power strips, external CD drives for netbooks, and sometimes other equipment such as monitors. |

| − | {| class='wikitable'
| + | In November of 2009, the LUUG co-hosted with [[FC@VT]] an [[Open Street Map]] mapping day for the first time. Prizes were donated by Qualcomm and O'Reilly and the event was made possible in part by the advice and support of [[Peter Sforza]] from the [[Center for Geospatial Information Technology]]. Around 15 people showed up. Footpaths on campus, businesses in the [[University Mall]] and roads and parking lots around [[The Village]] and [[Terrace View]] were added to the map. |
