FOSS LA Launch & openSUSE Install-fest

FOSS LA's inaugural public event — a community launch celebration combined with a hands-on openSUSE install-fest in Leh. Attendees get help installing and configuring openSUSE on their own machines, with volunteers guiding them through dual-boot setups, driver configuration, and first steps with Linux. Funding covers venue, printed materials, USB drives with live images, and refreshments to keep the event free for all participants.
