I would like to try two things.

a) alfa/beta test day:  Invite people to a computer lab where they can
try F13 in a liveCD or a virtual install. Probably will get some
comments, bugs reports... I will have to prepare a check list for
things to try. Probably poke QA team. Will be nice to have a computer
connected to a projector  and some people from QA via IRC so we can
have more guidance. This is more geeks oriented.

So far I have secured a small lab, about 8 computers. This is a small
company, not related with universities. They are open to accomodate
our schedule. They work opensource web aplications/pages design and
view this as a oportunity to get to know people on the field.

b) Limesurvey test day: get some students from marketing/management
dealing with some research class and ask them to try limesurvey. As
this is more academic focus this will have to be on university lab. I
think I can sell the idea, but need about one week so they get back to
work.

I am not sure will be that good idea to try limesurvey on F13 alfa...
OS bug may interfere with survey testing.

I will keep posted how these things evolve.
