Hi Thanks for that
Don't they have an event in the Serena at 14:00 ? would 15:00 be feasible ? Let me ask the hive and get back to you all Boaz Shani Mobile +256 (0) 752 50 60 90 Skype boazshlaptop G-Talk - [email protected] Messenger - [email protected] -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Reinier Battenberg Sent: Thursday, September 29, 2011 09:57 To: Uganda Linux User Group Subject: Re: [LUG] Firefox Luganda Translation Launch + LUG Hi, For any LUG event, you only need 2 things: - Speakers (which in this case, is provided for) - A location. There are a few locations around Kampala we have been using over time: - Makerere: big, very hollow acoustics - HiveColab: A bit noisy, but perfect size - Mountbatten: Small, far out, but what an atmosphere! ;-) - P7: Well equiped, small For this event (very late announcement, its Firefox, so might still get 30-40 people), I would suggest to try the Hive Colab. You can mail Barbara Birungi <[email protected]> to ask if the Hive is available (or check the website if there is a phonenumber, or ask here, on this list if someone has it) Once she says yes, all you have to do is create the event on www.linux.or.ug and send an invitation. Timewise, the Mozilla team flies around 21:00, so our normal timing would not suit them. Better to start around 15:00, so they can leave for the airport on time. Ah, you need to tell the speakers where to be. Either go to the event this afternoon and talk to them, or call Alex Wafula at +254 713 37 09 67 That is all there is to it.
