Encourage people to volunteer if they know something about linux.

Things we have

  • USB Drives
  • SELF Swag

Things we need

  • Router/AP (echarlie's is a disaster)
  • U2F Zeros, RPi Zeros or 2 and other medium-value door prizes
  • Fliers (see sogent)
  • Leftovers from Gobblerfest
  • An install counter (simple webapp or something on an RPi with a button)

Status

Successful installs:

  • Fedora: 9
  • Ubuntu: 5
  • Archlinux: 2
  • CentOS: 4

Things learned:

  • Hyper-V should be turned off if virtualbox in windows can't install 64-bit guests (windows features)
  • Some older HPs rewrite their UEFI boot order on every reboot; use ```efibootmgr -n 00XX``` every reboot (see rc.local)
