Hi all,
Mike's suggestion of using install fest has a number of problems...

1) It's a weekend, so I'd be unlikely to be able to attend :-(
2) No set time/duration and they'll be other stuff going on.

I think an evening at DeVry would better serve discussions, or even a
hour down the pub/coffee shop.


Important (needs to be done now - in my opinion)
---
If someone could contact UoC (assuming that there's no major objections
to holding it there) and get a preliminary 'OK' for the 5th May (again
assuming that's a good date) then 'we' get started.

If no-one has the balls to do this, give me the contact details
(offline!) of the person we'd 'used' last year  and I'll do it.



Suggestions for speakers
---
Damien Sandras - Lead developer of Ekiga. H323, Sip (and soon to be
zrtp capable) softphone. Have made contact, is happy with idea but we'd
need to assist with travel.

Renderman - Edmonton based hacker. Wireless and other stuff. Regular
speaker at Hope, Defcon, etc.

Jon and Gustin - Double act on Virtualisation, Zen?

Roy Souther - LLUG, Seemed interested/excited at last LinuxFest to do
something.

Aaron - 'Our local star' (and Karaoke king).

Anyone of the 'big guns' - would have to be asking now before schedules
get filled!


Suggestions for talks
---
Asterisk - Introduction and Trix Box. I can do if no-one else better
can be found ;-)

Wireless Security - Renderman?



Suggestions for Sponsorship
---
Digium
All the Distros - RedHat, SuSU, Debian, Ubuntu, etc..



Suggestions for other groups to inform/get involved
---
Calgary 2600.


Cheers,
Simon.
