<toddc> TEMPE INSTALLFEST
<toddc> We will be moving several events around as part of changes in the server and regular installfest
<toddc> and we will announce more after we check the schedule at UAT for rooms
<toddc> Dazed_75 would like to add more info at this time?
<toddc> We will also be trying to stream all events on http://azlocobbb.banditti.com/  but until we get organized
<toddc> I will start as soon as possible after events start but due to setup time I hope to find others to run it  as we get bigger. This will let other's participate and be more active state/world wide but will take time to develop and and get the word out.
<toddc>  Yesterday's installfest went very well. It was not a large turn out but we have a great time and kept busy with several projects and had a very good time talking and testing and several new people showed up for help and to help it was nice to see every one
<toddc> last week We even got to see a Prescott lug member that Dazed_75 and I Met last year when we went up there
<toddc> so we need to plan another trip up there soon   http://www.lugy.net/ they meet on the 2nd Tuesday
<toddc> thinks of a good month and lets get a group together and go up there again and show support
<toddc> current thoughts are to drive up there 05/08/12  anyone interested?
<xHans> toddc: for your job list, I know of two places looking for interns. I believe there are positions for developers and sysadmins, must be current student
