I'm in the process of reading the docs (and looking at the perl and php source code) to the online credit card thing so that Mark and I can get online registration working tomorrow. (I wanna do it in Python. I realise I'm making extra work for myself, but oh well...) Mark also has credit card machines he can bring to the meeting so we can go "ooh" and "aah" over them.
And, if the Red Lion will loan us a phone line long enough, all of you can register for the convention! Ooh. Ahh.
Upcoming advertising I need to do: bug Linux Journal. Put out a Call for Papers. Online advertising at Kerneltrap, Keenspot, Slashdot, and Linux Weekly News. Hit UT stuent groups (the Gaming Guild, anime club, ACM, and whatever kind of english literary things they've got. Plus an ad in the Daily Texan, and kiosk fliers.) This is waiting for the GOH list to fill out.
They'll (ACM) will have a Linux InstallFest April 3rd. Flyerage must be slapped upon them.
I haven't been able to get in touch with Richard Garriott. If anybody else has an idea, let me know.
Just a regular letter, perhaps?
Troy: you know Eric Flint best. Can you get a list of local Baen authors from him? (Who writes for Baen and lives in Austin?)
I need to bug the Fandom Association of Central Texas and get more data from them. (Mark is typing up the contact info we've harvested from the last three conventions we've been to, the FACT guys are on there...)
Not quite correct. I will once I finish this set of Babylon 5 episodes...they beckon me...izza good stuff.
What am I not thinking of?
You forgot our newly established CON REPORT BLOG. Where do you want me to put it? http:/www.linucon.org/conreport/?
