Linux Users of Victoria, Inc.

Hi, there's no prices mentioned so is this free to attend?

What Linux software will you be using as reference?

Thanks.

Is this Workshop for free for international students ?

Hi,
Any chance that there would be someone there who answer questions about setting up MythBuntu?

Hi Elizabeth,

Have you installed UNR yet on your Eeepc? If so, how do you find it?

Thanks for again organising some great speakers. I recall meeting Craig a couple of years ago at a Novell forum, it would be great to hear what he has been doing with cloud computing.

Linux users and Linux promotion in the Australian Media (all media)

With great interest I'm reading the happenings about promotion and exhibitions of the Open Source Software on the internet, and in several Linux orientated magazines about the "Oscons",

Whatever the tremendous efforts from all participants here in Australia,and participants outside the Pacific region, what I would like to see happening here is that this Linux Conference in New Zealand, it should reported by the
Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) and in particular at the program "The 7.30 report".

As long the ABC and other media keep ignoring the Open Source Software existence, and therefore its users, and all the creative groups and individuals who write a tremendous range of a variety of programs worldwide, if it is not being reported in the mainstream media here in Australia you won't get much further, by informing the wider community, outside the local Linux User Groups, and their friends and relatives.

That raises the next question, I have no doubt that Linux Australia www.linux.org.au and other Linux User Groups do a exellent job, however what about lobbying the board of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, asking them for support by reporting AND broadcasting the linux.conf.au 2010
in "The 7.30 report", after all this is an important event for Open Source Software users and programmers worldwide.

Or can't we bother at all?

I heard about the Chadstone day via your beautiful "postcard" flyer - which I saw for 30 seconds at another house, but forgot to pick up.

I am an open-source user and advocate. Why aren't I down at Chadstone?

1: PUBLICITY

I'm not there because it is only now (1:30pm Saturday) that I discover you had an interesting programme of talks.

The postcard has no hint of how much organisation is behind the event, or what audiences you cater to. Unless you tell me otherwise, I presume the minimum. That postcard has to spark the interest of your viewer - sufficient for them to check the details.

Next year, I'd hope your card has (as well as this years excellent graphics and production) a reference to there being a programme of scheduled talks available at the website.

2: LOCATION

Chadstone is a car ghetto.

Shopping centres may be good for locals, but they are a turn-off to anyone from another part of town.

It's worth mentioning Hughesdale station (may be a 10 min walk, by the map), but a good location is cycle friendly.

3:

I hope today has been as successful and enjoyable as you could have hoped. I hope that next year is even better!

cheers,
Douglas

Ah yes, the wiki only uses normal username/password combinations; it doesn't do openid.

I'll add you though, thanks for doing a lightning talk! :-)

There is footy on at Etihad stadium today, so it's best to get here early and look for parking in the side streets. The main car parks will fill up quickly.

If you have a specific problem with your machine that you want solved, then yes, bring a machine.

Hiya, we have no plans to record the workshops as yet - I don't think their format warrants it, to be honest.

That said, if someone with a camera attends and offers to record and publish, I'm sure nobody will object :-)

There will be another workshop next month though, so come to that one instead!
