[CLUG] Event

[adam beecher]

Anyone on for helping me to arrange some kind of Linuxey event in Cork this 
summer? We haven't done something since the yoke Donncha organised a few 
years ago afaicr. Nothing huge like, I'm thinking along the lines of a small 
installfest for home users, maybe with a short presentation on migration from 
other operating systems (how to get your bookmarks, contacts and calendar 
across, for example); and two or three short business presentations, maybe 
one from vendors, one from integrators, and one from businesses that are 
already using Linux.

We have two major vendors in the area and I think Novell have an office in 
Dublin, so it shouldn't be too hard to get some freebies from them, and maybe 
a few quid towards invites and other expenses. I'm sure they'd be happy to 
put someone forward to do a few minutes; I'd be happy to do a short bit on 
migration, and possibly as an "integrator"; and I'm sure we could twist the 
arms of people like Michele Neylon and Ruairi Roddy to step up to the plate 
for a quickie on how Linux is working for them. Be nice to have a "keynote" 
too, if anyone has any suggestions.

If we sent out invites well in advance and asked for RSVP's, it should be 
pretty easy to arrange. But of course we'd need to settle on a location that 
wasn't, like, closed a year ago. :)
