I'd be certainly interested in helping out and can do it around Software Freedom Day. It'd be great if you add your event to the SFD webpage for Australia at http://maitri.ubuntu.com/softwarefreedomday/wiki/index.php/Australia > What we're after is someone (or several someones) who would be willing > to give the talk. /me puts hand up. > Cons: > - You'd need to be able to get to Mac uni around 1pm-ish, as that's the > time most students are free to come along.
