Subject: Open Day call for participation
Hi all,
As the miniconf organisers for linux.conf.au 2007, I am very
pleased to
invite you to participate in our free Open Day for the public. This
is the
first time an event like this will be held at linux.conf.au and the
idea is
to show off the coolest technologies and demos to the public and
give them a
chance to get excited about FOSS and also meet the people behind the
technology. We'll be having ~40 tables and spaces for demos and if
any of
you would like to participate please let me know. You would likely
get a
table or space (depending of what you have to demo) and we'd need
you for
the entire event (2pm - 8:30pm on the Thursday). There will be
rolling 10
min talks, prizes, free food and more. The event is really aimed at
high
school and university students and we are also encouraging
families, friends
and techies for whom lca is too hard core.
Check out the details at http://lca2007.linux.org.au/OpenDay where
we have a
few example demos on the website. Please get in contact with me
directly if
you'd be interested in participating with what you'd like to do, as
I'm
organising Open Day. Food will be provided for free, and we are not
running
a full schedule against it to also give conference goers a chance
to play
and check out cool stuff. We have already started receving
registrations for
this event, and we hope to get about 300 general public attendees.
Cheers,
Pia
