I am not an Analyzer.

The "bottleneck" which delays/stops this tradition, or dictates a
too small number of installation parties, is not the number of
"clients". You will find people who want Linux at any place. There
is a strong demand for Linux everywhere.

The bottleneck is with the "vendor", i.e. us: finding volunteers,
organizing the IP, place, screens/keyboards, CDs, etc.

So just do it!
I am not sure that I can help with this. I help in my way to other
activities, and I hope that there will be volunteers for this
purpose too.

BTW: Most of you probably remember my initiative to develop a GPL
Web Content Management and Configuration Management tool. The
world-wide community recognized this issue as a key component to
survive against Microsoft and in order to keep control over web
sites (look at one of the most important headlines these days at
Slashdot and others: WebDAV). Although the tool in development is
not equal to the idea I tried to push, it is similar, so I freeze
any activity in this area.
