Planning for some Ubuntu-AU activity around the time of the LCA 2011 in Brisbane

http://lca2011.linux.org.au/

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.

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.

This event has now been registered as a loco event. For details and registration please see http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/team/587/detail/ which will take you to a place to registered attendance at the day. Please read below for details on helping out on the day in a volunteer capacity.

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 2 people per time frame with a backup (someone already attending the open day anyway but willing to help out an hour or so if someone is sick or doesn't show) 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)
    • - I'd like to do likewise but it would need to be Sunday before the conference (accomodation options didn't allow for getting into Brissy untill the Sunday before. (GeorgePatterson) The Sunday after the conference is Launch day for the rocket miniconf. LCA is pretty much booked solid. The other alternative could be the evening of the Speakers dinner. Sunday brunch could be a good solution.

Brainstorm

Any other questions, comments, queries, ideas?

Add them here so we have a central planning location!

Interested Members

Just a place to register your attendance at the LCA2011 or any interest in the Open Day, Social Event or some other yet to be determined event.
