Install Party 2010

From Mandriva Community Wiki

Jump to: navigation, search
In order to bring Linux to new users and present the new features and technologies available in Mandriva Linux 2010, Mandriva is mobilizing its network of Linux User Groups (LUGs) to coordinate a worldwide Installfest on December, 12th, 2009.

Expert Mandriva Linux users are invited to assist beginners to help them get started with the operating system. Participants will be able to:

  • Get help on installing Mandriva Linux 2010 on their laptop or desktop free of charge.
  • They will also have the opportunity to install Linux and keep their Microsoft Windows® installed for a soft migration,
  • View demonstrations of all that can be done with Mandriva Linux 2010 thanks to a Live CD that launches the operating system without any need for installation,
  • Get answers to their questions,
  • Meet other Mandriva Linux users, and chat with their local community.

Where will it occur?

Installations of Mandriva Linux One and Free will take place all around the world, thanks to the Linux community. Major participating locations will include the United States, China, Poland, Argentina and France. Last year, Mandriva install fests gathered more than 1,550 participants in more than 60 cities in 20 countries such as the United States, Argentina, China and Morocco. This major event was covered in all media.


Organizing an Install Party in your region

The installation is often the toughest step for a beginner willing to adopt a new operating system. This is why Mandriva invites anyone wishing to know Linux better to join the free install fests on December 12th. These install festivals are made possible thanks to the power of the knowledge sharing spirit, one of the keystones of the open source community.
