Well, I would have billed it as a regular installfest and let it be known that
there would be alphas there for any who have them.  I would guess that of the
alphas given out, some are busy on the day we pick, some are already up and
running, and so only a few would come to the 'fest.  I don't see anyone without
an alpha coming to something that is alpha only.

I would do the same kind of thing as last time, and ask on the lists who wants
alpha help and what distros they want to do.  Then get me and Sean and Jef to
show up and provide help (assuming there is enough interest for the 3 of us).

As an alternative, Jef and I could do handouts (me on SRM/aboot, Jef on milo).
Is Jef on this list?  Should I duck when volunteering him? :-)

Perhaps we should consider the weekend of the 19th to allow more advertising
time?
