------------------------------------------------------
Let=E2=80=99s combine the Installfest and swap meet into a =E2=80=9CDigita=
l Independence=E2=80=9D event on the afternoon Friday, July 3rd. Maybe =
start at 2:00 or 3:00 and go until 6:00?

Hutton & Smith is willing to let us use their community space, next to =
their tap room, and open a bit early (they usually open at 4:00 PM). =
That=E2=80=99s on a major bus route, has plenty of parking (albeit =
paid), and right down the street from Nightfall.

Aaron, if you=E2=80=99ll take the lead on the swap meet, I=E2=80=99ll =
provide support. Basically, each swapper will get a table. I can provide =
a signup form.

Mike, for the Installfest, I think it best to take a =E2=80=9Chands-off=E2=
=80=9D approach: provide instructions, a bootable flash, and a simple =
=E2=80=9CTHIS WILL REFORMAT YOUR COMPUTER AND DELETE ALL DATA=E2=80=9D =
waiver. But it would be really good to have a few folks who can help =
participants troubleshoot any issues (how to set BIOS to boot from flash =
drive).

I'll do some software demos=E2=80=94Nextcloud, Mastodon, etc.=E2=80=94too.=
 We=E2=80=99ll make this the =E2=80=9Csoft launch=E2=80=9D for =
Chattanooga.Digital.
