In this case it sounds more like an Linux awareness day rather than an
installfest.

I imagine we would have some machines up running Linux showing what it
can do, OOo, Mozilla, Evolution, GNOME, KDE etc for the desktop side of
things...

Answering peoples questions, giving out Linux cd's e.g Knoppix

I guess that would be the general idea....
