+I guess to some extent Marcom mailing list is a good place to talk about 
+an install party, however your probably much better off chatting about 
+it to major French Mageia contributors for example, and other French 
+users or contributors.  I mean those of us that aren't in France can't 
+really help that much with an install party that is going to take place 
+in France I guess.
+
+On the subject of install fests, there's an idea to possibly have one 
+for my LUG here in England, in September or October, distrowise though 
+it may be Mint as well for example, not just Mageia.  Maybe some Ubuntu 
+even, none of this has been decided yet, it's just an idea at the moment.
+
+The guy who suggested having an install fest suggested Mint, even though 
+he uses Fedora, and so I was like Mageia is rather user friendly as well.
+
+In fact some people would only want one distro really for a install 
+fest, but can probably get Mageia installed if there is going to be one 
+so :d, even if another distro or two is being installed as well.

+
+P.S
+
+The plan is for Marcom, artwork, and webteam, to merge into one team 
+quite soon, because of the lack of active people.
