[plug] Linux.conf.au 2002 - here in Perth?

[James Bromberger]

OK, for those of you who were at tonight's meeting, you know what this is 
about. To the rest of you.... sit down and take a deep breath...


LCA2001 was the second national conference of its kind. CALU (Conference 
for Australia Linux Users) was the frist, in 1999. There wasn't anything 
in 2000. SLUG (Sydney Linux User Group) said they invisage LCA being a 
roaming conference. AT LCA2001, the idea was put forward of Perth - it was 
put to a vote on the last day of the conference, and a fair number were 
quite positive. Obviously the Sydney siders didn't like it cause they were 
kind of keen on LCA2001 being in their own town... :)

Several issues were discussed tonight very briefly on this - indeed, a mailing 
list for this is being set up, and a lot more detail is going to be entered 
in to at the next PLUG meeting to be held at UCC... I think it is on Monday 
fortnight or so.

The entire thing might not come here, but with a *large* amount of 
organisation it can be done. Have a think about who you would want to see 
at LCA2002, what events could be held (Beach, trip to Margaret River, 
Swan River cruise) and bring your ideas along. Try not to flood the PLUG list 
at the moment - wait until the dedicated mailing list is set up... 

But come to the next meeting, and talk to either me, Nick Bannon, Jason 
Nichols, or someone who is going to help coordinate! 10^6 volunteers requ'd. ;)

Yours,
  James
