I'm happy to be there on the day, and do whatever grunt work might need to be done beforehand eg mass-burning and labelling CDs. And I can spare at least one computer for demonstration purposes. Also I'll dig out the big banner and projector. I'd LOVE to have a presentation and tour of Symphony. And how would we handle advertising? Is Sally-Jo OK with us printing/photocopying lots of posters and handouts again? On 10 August 2011 20:35, John Billings <john(a)nimhq.net> wrote:

SFD 2011 is a little more than a month away, and I'm just wondering who all wants to be involved.   It's on 17th September this year.  We are planning to have it at Uni, at the very least we can use our regular meeting room, and have a really low key day, or in the past we held it in the S block building foyer, and used some of the lecture rooms to do presentations.  I was over at the Uni today and talked to Sally Jo and she seemed to think that would be fine if we wanted to have it there again.    The NZCS meeting today was about the Linux cluster there, and the presenter said he'd be keen to give a talk/demo the cluster at SFD.   We will be putting up a display at the library first week of September, as all the boards were booked the second week, and distributing some flyers around.

If anyone remembers what we did in 2007, I thought that went well, having some tables set up w/ different demos and information, and we ran presentations throughout the day.   I'm good for one table, and one presentation on something (possibly 20 years of Linux?)  So let me know who all wants to be involved and what you would like to do.

Best, John _______________________________________________ wlug mailing list | wlug(a)list.waikato.ac.nz Unsubscribe: http://list.waikato.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/wlug
