This coincides with our somewhat-planned installfest, which seems not to 
have  been mentioned in the most recent UQ News, in spite of an email to 
someone working there.

I'm supposed to have been organising the thing, or at least running it 
on_the_day, but I confess I've been caught up with other things, 
including some serious and successful attacks against my computer 
systems (including at least 2 different cracks against OpenBSD 4.3, one 
of them remote), filtering of my internet access, and general harassment 
by the powers that think they have a right to know what's on my computer 
and what I communicate and with whom.

I'm happy to have our installfest coincide with the Mandriva installfest,
or perhaps we should postpone the HUMBUG installfest to a later date to 
allow for more preparation.

So what, exactly, do you see happening at the Mandriva Installfest?
