Hi Daniel and WLUG, Thank you for this offer to help out. It will be good to have some LUG members there and we really appreciate your support on this. Some NZOSS members have also offered to attend, so should be an excellent opportunity to show what Linux/OSS can do. I am still planning for this (I only heard about it when you did ;) ) but expect to get back to you tomorrow afternoon as to what equipment will be available there etc. Regards, Ross.

Chris, Ross.

The Waikato Linux Users Group would like to help out at this event. What organisation is needed between us to make this happen?

We'd like to borrow a couple of machines you stock to install recent versions of linux on, if that's at all possible. We feel this would look better than having x assorted random home pcs running linux as demonstration units. Maybe a couple of desktops and a laptop, if that's ok? And, of course, you'll have windows machines already for demonstrating OSS apps for windows.

We'll look at organising some info sheets regarding Linux /OSS / WLUG as well.

Regards,
