[plug] Volunteer(s) wanted

[Leon Brooks]

I won't be able to attend this...

    http://www.svshs.wa.edu.au/staff/mweber/projects/sigfest/

...but you might.

The school is running 20 identical (Mandrake 9.1) Linux workstations for 
their contingent of natives to do stuff like video editing on, thanks 
to netcat and a set of shell scripts which it pleases me to call 
Weapons of Mass Distribution (and which shall be retrieved, packaged 
and published under same name shortly).

Mark Weber, the man advertising it, and Peter Spicer-

It needs a few people to attend, and all you need to do is show of your 
own Linux systems and maybe yak with passers-by about the virtues of 
Open Source.

The following properties are considered helpful, but you will be 
constructively employed on the day even if you possess none of them:

 * A laptop

 * The slightest knowledge of Linux and/or other Open Source software

 * A willingness to answer questions

Even if you can't attend, drumming up and or printing a flyer (say, A4 
or 3fold) on "Open Source in Education" (there might be a good one 
kicking around on the web already) is another way of contributing.

If interested, please contact me ASAP. I'd like four committed 
volunteers and a handful of "casuals", so there's plenty of room (and 
need) for you.

There will be others there
