Yep, installfests should be advertized in general computing magazines
or Windows mostly magazines (PCPro, PCPlus and the like) were you have
people interested about computing but that don;t know where to start
to learn about Linux.

Inviting people in the Linux forums is kind of pointless, unless the
topics are really advanced (cluster installfest anyone?)
