Bring as many extra people as you like - even if you can't come (ie, inveigh 
upon someone else to stand in for you). BYO laptop, and we'll see if we can 
arrange some connectivity. BYO burner and blanks in case we run out of CDs or 
you have other Free/Open Source Software goodness to share. BYO power board 
in case power gets scarce.

I have been given two shiny new copies of the book Rapid Application 
Development with Mozilla by Nigel McFarlane, retail price USD$45, to hand 
out. One will be a door prize, and one will be decided on by the group.

There will also be limited supplies of FireFox 1.0 on CD, along with 
ThunderBird 0.9, OpenOffice 1.1.3 and The GIMP 2.2-pre1 all for Windows, Mac 
OS X and Linux (The GIMP's prerequisites are a bit iffy for a binary install 
on Linux, look to your usual package source for updates).

The venue is Fast Eddy's on Milligan Street in Perth. That's one block uphill 
from the bus station, two blocks uphill from either the main train station or 
the BusPort, on the corner of Murray Street. Fast Eddy's is open 24x7 and 
don't mind you plugging in.

If you're part of the SlashDot Meetup (http://slashdot.meetup.com/22/) you'll 
be meeting there next week too. Get a map by going to the White Pages 
(http://www.whitepages.com.au/wp/busSearch.jhtml), typing in "fast eddy's", 
selecting Western Australia and Search. The Perth venue is the second grey 
Australia silhouette.

Southbound freeway exit "Wellington Street" is at the top of this map, 
northbound exit is "Hay Street" a couple of cm in from the left edge and 
about halfway up. Coming from the Causeway, your easiest approach is straight 
up the Terrace and right into Milligan; from the West, choose either 
Riverside Drive and first left as you get to Perth or King's Park Road 
(becomes Hill Street, Malcolm Street and St George's Terrace) and left at 
QV.1 (the tall building with shutters after the Freeway and Barracks Arch).

I'm wearing a Linux Australia tee-shirt as exemplified at the bottom of this 
page recording last year's conf:
