Yes, we are.

(Paul - you can check that on:

 - can you log in OK? Possibly not yet, Andrew or Michael should be able
to help)

This is way too late. We should have had a couple of full weekend busybees
to make this plausible.

http://www.eotw.com.au/timetable/
Event starts Thursday 20150326-0830 .

EOTW gave us plenty of of notice, even a budget on the table; but no
preparation whatsoever was done.

The PLUG AV kit can be arranged and started up, with one of our regular
experts (me, Leon, Jason, ...?) in an hour or so, given a favorable
tailwind, pre-existing wired network, no forgotten/broken/missing
equipment, no unusual plugs or connections required. Another hour or so
for transport and another for packup.

None of the stations are organised as "just work", fiddling-free,
easy-to-start physical kits.

We cannot meet even the minimal standard we managed at EOTW2013.

We can show the EOTW team how they can set up their own solution, but
again, not in the time remaining.
