I'll try and make it for at half-a-day (probably Wednesday) - pressing customer engagements withstanding. (I might also get roped into the HP stand for the other half of a day).

Hi all, so we are only a month away from Linuxworld, and LA has been given a free stand. I think we could use this opportunity to demonstrate the value of the community, and some of the rocking Aussie projects and developers. There often isn't very much understanding at a corporate or Government level as to the value of the community (although, usually only by people who don't fully understand FOSS yet) so we may as well make the best of the opportunity to drive the point home and celebrate the community :) Who would be willing to: a) wear a penguin suit giving out foo b) stand at a stall for 3/2/1/0.5 days to hand out information about FOSS to people and explain about the community c) help decorate the stand and pull it down afterwards We could even show some demos of non-commercial FOSS that just inspires the imagination. Who's with me! :) Cheers, Pia -- Linux Australia http://linux.org.au/ "Beware of listening to this impostor; you are undone if you once forget that the fruits of the earth belong to us all and the earth itself to nobody." - Jean Jacques Rosseau -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
