[CLUE-Admin] June 15th Installfest

[Kevin Cullis]

David,

Then other issues do you think we've not covered or not covered well
enough?  Let's get them on the table so that we can solve them if we
can.

BTW, I didn't decide to have it at Will's, Will offered his place for
the next installfest, and I don't like "to slap the hand that feeds me"
when things are offered.  It's a great experience for all when new
things can be tried.  From an IT Manager's perspective, it could be a
great "contingency plan" exercise to counter Sept 11 or other emergency
support issues for any organization while at the same time looking at
capacity.other planning, and we benefit from it by having fun doing what
we do best.
