Additional to this. I spoke to the Dictator[1] of KAOS[2] about the possibility of KAOS hiring the room for CLUG to use it as the install fest, a sort of joint venture thing, as long as the UCSA is fine with it, and I don't see why not. The pros I can see is that, well, ~free (I think) room, and we can probably volunteer some people to help out. KAOS has a higher than usual number of people of a geek bend. Many who use Linux, and/or are aware of it/used it in the past. I think the biggest con is that KAOS has a certain, undeserved imho, reputation and by having them involved you run the risk of turning away punters who may otherwise be interested. At any rate I thought I'd say the offer is there. --Josh [1] Person who runs the club, meant humorously. [2] A club at uni I'm involved in, www.kaos.org.nz
