<DIV>The "Engineer's Week" is usually more of an IT fair encompassing all areas
of the Institute of Technology's programs. This would be a great place if you
can get a table. That might be tough though, as it tends to be filled with
corporations (one of those "don't come here without resumes" type thing). You
could also place postings inside the EE/CS building, and every other IT building
for that matter (They're in the same general area so it wouldn't be too daunting
a task).</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Another spot is in the Daily (<A
href="http://www.mndaily.com">www.mndaily.com</A>) classifieds or "Hey You" ads
(free 1-3 lines, I think. If not free, cheap.) An ad could also be placed, but
that costs money. I never went to one, but the installfests seem to get a bit of
publicity around campus (I have at least heard that they're happening before).
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Contacting the various IT-related student groups may be a good way to
spread the word, too. Groups like the ACM, who've also done installfests, I
think.</DIV>

>>><BR>UMIT has a thing in Engineer's Week where campus orgs and others
can do info<BR>booths in a tent outside the building. Something similar
may be allowed<BR>during orientation. Call the IT Dean's office and
ask. Might do better in<BR>the CS Dept Office, but I'd rather see TCLUG
develop some signs of life in<BR>apps outside CS sys admin areas... such as
Octave and scientific<BR>applications that are truly enabled by Linux and out of
reach in Winders.<BR>Hmmm.. I know an ex pres of the UMIT Alum society who can
spell Linux (he's<BR>a PhD SW guru). He would know how/whether to open
doors there. I'm not<BR>really an alum, but got talked into joining the
alum soc for a few years.<BR>Why not St Thomas also? St Thomas might be
much more receptive. Just do an<BR>InstallFest on campus (UMN, St Thom,
Stout, River Falls). THAT would get<BR>publicity
enough.<BR><BR><BR>---<BR>Chuck<BR><BR><BR>> -----Original
