meeting Tues 7.30pm?

2008-09-08 Thread Rik Tindall

Hi all,

If there's nothing else organised for tonight, is anyone interested in 
doing stuff to build up Software Freedom Day for Saturday week 10am-4pm?


Here: http://www.library.christchurch.org.nz/South/

There will be a whole room available to CLUG members, for running demo 
boxes, showing DVDs, burning CDs for people, nattering at length to the 
general public, etc. etc. As well as a liveCD lab. Some posters are 
needed, notices to put places, any other ideas?


Here's the team page so far: 
http://www.softwarefreedomday.org/teams/Christchurch


It's an easy, fun FOSS promotional day out, into it's 5th year now. 
Always lots of newbies, if we work at it.

Kind regards,
Rik Tindall

Are the posters prepared? What size are they?

I can probably print some if they are no bigger than A3

good farriers are currently in high demand - and the money is good 
(assuming it's coming IN to your account rather than out)

I am pretty certain that 'ostler and farrier will be resurgent occupations in
approximately a century or two.

Excellent program - should be good. I've used it commercially and for
CAD on Ponoko.

The CLUG db was too big; I had to take it offline for a while just now
to reduce some of the session tables. Hope it's better now ...

Good.  I was wondering if anyone was going to be turning up, and if, whether I
should shove off home.

Anyone going to the restaurant?

Great responses, thanks Caleb, Rob and all.

Any poster drafts would be most welcome to see! Creativity certainly wanted.

Basic info is here:
http://www.softwarefreedomday.org
http://www.softwarefreedomday.org/teams/Christchurch
http://www.infohelp.co.nz/sfd8

Looks like the perfect live demo project for inkscape perhaps?

I will get there around 8pm, and bring spare projector  screen - in 
case of any glitch with regular supply.


Thanks very much. Good luck Caleb.

Regards, Rik
