 Sounds cool :).  Could I get a straw-poll: is there anyone else in
 South Wales around here?
   
Somerset... so somewhere like Bristol might be a good compromise? Or 
even just across the bridge... Newport, maybe...

 I'll do some picture taking, but I dont have a website or blog to
 upload them. Also I've got a big HP Laserjet printer although it's
 only bw, so if needed I can print out loads of handouts maybe? As for
 interviewing visitors are we going to have some sort of short
 questionnaire we could ask people to fill out? I was thinking for the
 postcard idea that ASDA do 6x4 prints for 10p each if you buy a lot,
 but it doesnt matter what you get developed, it doesnt have to be a photo.

  Since I wont get a chance to post this over the weekend, here is
  your
  end of week update,
 
 
 
  1:  Thank You to
 
  Adam Bagnall, Alan Pope, Alan Helmore-Simpson,Stuart Parkington
  and
  Ashley Hooper whom have all volunteered to aid in Setup and
  Attendance. 
  We believe Jono Bacon may even make an appearance!
 
 
 
  2: What is still required :
 
  Since I dont know how much or little space or how much power or
  how much
  room or how much parking or how much of how much we can expect
  Im going
  to assume that we will have space for at least one 4x2 table so ...
 
  More people to help with
 Assembling the Booth ( I
  imagine 4 people helping out would be a
  benefit )
 Being on the Booth ( we
  need at least 3 People each day , minimum. )
 Disassembling the Booth ( I
  imagine 4 people helping out would be
  a benefit )
 Writting blogs, taking
  pictures and interviewing visitors ( Some
  one , or two , to do this please )
 
  I'll write a note  to the LUGMasters
  pointing back to the wiki and
  asking for any other input.
 
 
 
  3: Materials
  Ive heard back from Marilze Coetzee regarding the Conference
  Pack and
  the 400PC,10064bit and 50Mac Ubuntu3:  CDs, they are all
  being processed.
 
  Jono has pointed out that we should look to raise funds for
  Ubuntu UK to
  help pay for other promotional material and  I dont want to
  open a can
  of worms on this topic other than to say Ive got some monies
  promised
  and Im asking some of my own clients if they want to donate to
  help kick
  this off. However this particular topic is consistently a can of
  worms
  so please lets not have a debate about it! If done well we can
  reuse
  these funds and materials ( urgh stock control ! ) to use on
  other stands.
 
  We have a list of things that are required on the days and I
  want to
  turn this into a list of what will appear , who own it, what it
  will do
  and what it requires.
 
  We also have a few suggestions on marketing and promotional
  stuff which
  breaks down into two areas
 
 1 ) Stuff we hand out or
  sell as promotional materials :- Badges,
  Pins, Polo Shirts, Bags etc.
 2 ) Stuff we generate for
  ongoing case study and historic benefit
  :- Pictures, Reports, Reviews, Case Studies.
 
  I may have misunderstood the intent but the post card idea to me
  sounded
  excellent especially since we can ( with permission ) use the
  images and
  studies to help promote Ubuntu , Volunteers and professionals.
 
 
 
  4: Daily Content
 
  Any suggestion on this ? How about a Guru Point where people can
  book
  ahead on the Wiki before turning up on the day and book a space
  and a
  time to speak to a Guru ( can we have some Gurus please ? 
  ) . We could
  run 4 of those at least over the two days.  anyother ideas ?
 
 
  5: Where and How to contribute on the planning
 
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/LinuxWorldLondon2006
  is the whiteboard page for ideas and thoughts and contributions
 
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/LinuxWorldLondon2006Planning
  is the Agenda and page for actual commitments and confirmed stuff.
 
 
 
  6: Again , thanks.
 
  For taking time to read and respond to this .
 
 
 
  Nik Butler
