The First Linux Installfest in Iraq (Linux Journal)

Ashraf Hasson writes about his experience running the Iraqi Linux User Group's first Linux installfest. "From August 14th through the 16th, Baghdad witnessed massive gunfire and streetfights in many of its districts, which unfortunately prevented some from attending the installfest. On the first day, I was forced to stop while in the middle of the installation, due to an urgent call from the Dean's office informing the staff and students to leave for home at once. There was no time to serve any refreshments! On the second day, we picked up from where we had stopped, and things went along smoothly, although the alert still was on."
