I could give an overview of the process and demonstrate some of the 
tools used.  The actual process uses two PXE servers, two LANs, and 
eight dedicated test computers.  Three are used to test and wipe drives, 
two clone Ubuntu Linux on tested drives, and the others test RAM.  The 
various phases take 3-4 hours to complete, but are scripted so minimal 
interaction by volunteers is required.

I'd estimate the overview and demo would take an hour.  April is too 
soon, but May or June would be possible.
