[plug] Installfest and RaspberryPi Theme

[Harry McNally]

Hello

We had a good turn-out today. I did a few trips home to collect more plug 
board things until I exhausted our home supply. James saved the day when he 
arrived with his mother-of-all plug boards. I need to invest in a James Board. 
With two of those we should be set.

We had a lot of discussion about RaspberryPi but didn't have any present (!). 
Jasper discussed setting up netboot on a Pi so I don't have to keep re-writing 
USB drives with the latest point release of everything; probably most of the 
work for setting up the event. I will still prepare some USB so people can 
learn how to install that way. Jasper has a router he can bring as part of his 
netboot infrastructure which will also serve as our wired network for those 
that need it.

I plan to set up a Pi serving the Installfest page and other things which will 
be easier to bring than James' microserver; it doesn't have to do much on the day.

A few people sent apologies but are planning to come to the next 'fest. We can 
continue the Pi theme if anyone has stories of Pi to show and share.

Drew (JAFWA) was happy to have us and we supported JAFWA by being at the 
Events Day. Installfestivities are done until Saturday 20 June.

All the best
Harry
