[marketing-events] LCA 2005 OpenOffice.org Miniconf - number of attendees
Hello Some of you have been asking about likely attendance. I heard from the organisers today that: 118 people ticked the OpenOffice.org miniconf box. Please note judging by the other numbers most people ticked at least 2 miniconfs. The number of people should probably mean there will be at least 118 people popping their head in to the miniconf at some stage. This number is about 10% of the miniconf ticks and adding a (big) fudge factor I'd say about 40. I have been contacted privately by a few people that wish to attend only the OpenOffice.org Miniconf as the registrations (500) for LCA sold out five weeks ago. The miniconfs form part of LCA and cannot be registered for separately. At this late stage I'm not sure how successful adding your name to the waiting list is, but here is the information that was sent out by the organisers. -- If you missed out on lca2005 -- We apologise we were limited with numbers. There was a waiting list set up for people who contacted us asking, so far we have been able to refund a few places from people who have had to cancel their attendance and let a few people in from the waiting list. Send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] if you feel you must be placed on the waiting list. We make no guarantees that there will be any more places at any time. My suggestion is that you get in early when the registrations for linux.conf.au 2006 in New Zealand open. Hope this helps. Regards Jacqueline
Re: [marketing-events] Books for prizes at OOoMiniConf Downunder

Jacqueline? Hello Jean Jonathon drew my attention to your message when we were talking yesterday. The answer is yes please, and thank you it is very generous of you and the other authors/publishers to donate the books. I'm creating a feedback form for each of the days. If we could offer the books as prizes from the collected feedback forms it may be an extra incentive to complete and hand them in. What do you think? Excellent idea. I've often seen that done at conferences. What about prizes on Monday, though? People won't have handed in their forms yet. I'm pleased you like the idea. I was thinking of having two draws at the close of Mon and Tues. I guess, people that attend both days get two chances :) Regards Jacqueline
