Hello all,<br>
<br>
Hopefully you're aware that we're flying Rusty Russell to Perth for
our October presentation. This is the first time that PLUG is
bringing in a speaker from interstate. Many of you may be aware of
Rusty's history as the creator of the current firewalling
implementation, iptables, and the previous implementation ipchains,
as well as the lguest virtualisation system. Some of you will have
seen Rusty present at Linux.conf.au, and know that regardless of the
topic, he is an entertaining and engaging speaker.<br>
<br>
At the May 2011 PLUG meeting, a show of hands demonstrated we should
break even on this by selling tickets. PLUG now needs your help to
get the word out. There is a link to a simple poster below; it would
be great if you could print just one copy, and stick it somewhere
appropriate where others will see it. Your work place, your
university, your local shops, your local library. If you can get one
person interested in coming along, that would be a great help in
breaking even on this. if we're successful, we'll do it again - so
start thinking about whom you want to have come and talk.<br>
<br>
Members tickets ($20) need to be paid for before the event; please
help us with our planning by organising your ticket now. On the
night at the door it will be $50 for everyone. UWA Comp Sci students
get a free ticket - but still need to email the supplied address to
get a spot (help us plan).<br>

This event is a litmus for PLUG. Linux.conf.au was last here in
2003; this event is an opportunity to show that there is enough
interest to make this small event succeed. if you would like to
help, please let Daniel and me know.<br>
<br>
Many thanks for your help,<br>
<br>
James & Daniel<br>
