The LinuxSA installFest went well (despite the fact that it was pissing
down rain).  We had 87 people register on the website before the event,
however we only did 42 installations on the day.  I estimate that we had
about 150 - 200 people turn up to the event.  The weather put a bit of a
"dampener" on the event.
