Planning for some Ubuntu-AU activity around the time of the LCA 2011 in Brisbane
Open Day
I was thinking if we had enough people interested in helping out we should hold a stall at the open day being held on Saturday 29th January 2011. It would be good to get a presence there as the leading Linux conference in Australia.
I personally have never been involved in this sort of public promotion before so I would have to rely heavily on others willing to assist that have some experience. The idea being that if we can at least see what sort of interest in the group there is then we can go forward based upon what experience we have from there.
The details of the Open Day - taken from the LCA 2011 website are:
- When - 29th January 2011 from 1000 until 1600
Where - The Edge, State Library Queensland, South Brisbane - The Edge Website.
Volunteers
I have set up the following table to co-ordinate our efforts on the day. By adding yourself to the table you are committing to attend at the specified time and be available to either assist setting up, helping at the table or packing up. I thought if we can aim for at least 3 people per timeframe that would be great. Feel free to add yourself to more than one time frame but make sure you leave yourself enough time to check out the other stalls!

We will also need to provide some hardware to show off Ubuntu to interest people. I have created a list below as what I see as "ideal" but will depend on space available in the booth and availability of the items to be volunteered for the day. If you can please add yourself to the following table if you are able to contribute towards this list. All items volunteered will be treated with the utmost respect and should be able to be either picked up or dropped off in time for the start of the open day and will be ready to be returned at the conclusion of the day.

Social Event
I'm not sure but I get the feeling there would be a few of the Ubuntu-AU members heading to the conference for other reasons so I was thinking it would be a good idea to organise some sort of social event as it's not common that we're all together in one place.
Obviously date and location to be set.
- - i'd like to have dinner on the Saturday or Sunday before the conference or after the open day. go to a nice restaurant and chat. (daniel)
