Raffle (was: Re: Installfest ideas)

[Brian DeLacey]

O'Reilly has generously donated books - including Ubuntu Hacks, Ubuntu for
Non-Geeks, Programming Python, and what might be the most disruptively
compelling title of the bunch: Just Say No to Microsoft: How to Ditch
Microsoft and Why It's Not as Hard as You Think.

These can be used as raffle items and/or reference at installfests,
whichever is of greatest benefit to the group.
