     * DEB, RPM, Arch PKGBUILD, Nix/Guix, etc.
 ==== Projects ====
+=== Linux benchmarking ===
+  * Improve on Phoronix's benchmarks
+=== Club self-hosting ===
+  * [?] Shared server. See: https://sdf.org/, https://tildeverse.org/, Paul Ford's blog post about tilde.club
+  * [?] Virtual Private Network (VPN). Perhaps DNS (see: https://tildenic.org/). Shared server just strong enough to run a VPN (centralized or if peer-to-peer the server would be for NAT-punching or whatever), then members can connect their own local hardware or remote servers to it.
+  * Rent an extremely cheap VPS (like what we are doing right now :) ).
+=== Contacting the UMD mirror team ===
+  * New maintainers in Fall 2024
+=== Create custom emergency linux bootable image ===
+  * Eduroam WiFi setup script and its dependencies.
+  * Backup tools: Borg, rsync
+  * Special filesystem tools: btrfs, ZFS
+  * Data recovery tools
+  * Should be easy to access encrypted disks. I think this is easy in many desktop environments.
+==== Events ====
+=== [?] Install-fest ===
+Apparently this is the largest event of the year for other university Linux user groups. This should be done at the beginning of the semester when students are taking new classes that may require installing Linux.
+=== Rice contest ===
+Have people customize their Linux desktop and vote on who has the best rice.
+=== Office hours/troubleshooting/project hacking ===
+Have people come in and ask questions about fixing their Linux boxes or hacking on projects. They can join voice chat too. More chill than other presentations, nothing needs to be specifically planned for this.
+=== Host a hackathon ===
+Host a Linux hackathon. In years past, there would be a twist in the hackathon where the wifi would be cut so people would have to resort to local backups of StackOverflow, Wikipedia, etc.
+=== [?] 30-year anniversary party ===
+https://listserv.umd.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind2302&L=UM-LINUX&P=674
+=== Linux video game night ===
+Play some games on Steam with Proton, or native Linux games like Super Tux Kart and BSD Games.
