[ILUG] ILUG AGM 2006 - it's only a day away

[Niall O Broin]

The 2006 ILUG AGM takes place on tomorrow, November 4th , at 14:30.  
[Note - the time is slightly earlier than previously advertised, to  
accommodate our full talks schedule]

The venue is once again generously provided by the Irish Computer  
Society - map

Lots of interesting talks, election of committee and such AGM like  
stuff, and beers afterwards in a nearby hostelry.

Remember, it's YOUR LUG, and if you want it to do anything  
differently, it's up to YOU to suggest it.

Several current committee members either can't be re-elected to their  
current positions this year, due to the 3 year rule, or have decided  
not to seek re-election for personal reasons, so the ILUG committee  
is going to look rather different after the AGM. If you think that  
you could have something to contribute, do come along and volunteer  
your services. This can't be over emphasised people - the ILUG  
committee is essentially about
to be gutted, and needs re-populating.

The full list of speakers (and it is indeed full) in alphabetical  
order (running order will be decided on the day - so if you come  
late,  you might miss the talk you're particularly interested in) is:

Speaker		 Affiliation			Subject

Brian Brazil	 google				The gNewSense project
John Looney	 google				Managing multi million machine clusters
Dave Malone	 Hamilton Institute		Network research involving Linux
Paschal Nee	 Mobile Travel Technologies	The mobile internet
Anton O Lachlain FON				The largest WiFi community in the world
Ciaran O Riordan FSFE				GPLv3, specifically DRM issues
Dave Wilson	 HEANet				Bandwidth on demand

We're having a slight change in format this year, such that we will  
have some talks, then the AGM business per se, and then the remainder  
of the talks. This is to accommodate the number of talks we have, to  
break things up a little, and to ensure that stragglers don't miss  
the actual AGM.

Also this year, for the first time, we're taking a leaf from the Late  
Late Show's book. If you're curious about that, you'll just have to  
join the audience - it might be worth your while.
