Re: [SLUG] CodeCave 2011 - one month to go!
What an excellent idea! Code, cave, eat, code, cave, sleep etc. I won't be coming, but I wish the project well!

We go up to Yarrangobilly Caves for a weekend and code, talk, code, eat, code, sleep and code. There's no set topic, you don't have to be an expert coder, and you won't have any internet access to distract you! (Although if Tridge has his way...) The cost is somewhere between $60 and $100 for the whole weekend. You can bring your own food but I'll also be arranging a group menu for the interstate travellers. I've got a few people from Sydney coming (who will have got an email from me), so if you're interested and haven't received an email from me about this please get in contact. I've got about 11 people out of a maximum of 14 or so. It's first in best bunked, and I only have a limited number of rooms left. I am arranging people that can pick interstate visitors up from the airport if you don't feel like driving the entire way. Thanks for reading, and hope to see you soon!

Re: [SLUG] Volunteers for Ed Expo is June and update
Hi Patrick, Yes,I volunteer to help out at the expo. No, I have had no experience of such things!

Can you please write to me with your details and a (V. BRIEF) outline of any experience you have with 'nix or expo-type things. NO-ONE will be excluded. Even if you have only just started using Gnu/Linux, this is not a problem. I'm interested in enthusiasm as much as knowledge and experience. Additionally I'm still seeking more people who represent the broader community of Gnu/Linux users : Thanks to all who have already nominated themselves. As more information comes to hand I'll be contacting everyone. At present we are awaiting a response as to financing.

Re: [SLUG] Reminder: nominations for 2009 SLUG Elections are open!
Hi Sridhar, Do you know a way of converting a .lnx document, and its Jabref, to Word for Windows and Endnote? What a question! (I hear you say). My supervisor wants me to send him my thesis as a Word .doc. so he can make changes. But I like using Lyx and Jabref. Is there some solution?

[SLUG] scanner for Linux
Hi My HP3300C A4 flatbed scanner has just died, and I am seeking something to replace it. Can anyone advise on a currently available scanner that will work with Linux? New or second-hand is OK.
