-!! Keynote Speaker ideas
+!!Installfest
-While its great an all
to think about bringing some big names in
, and that would be inspiring. At the same time this is
a local event
, the purpose is to advocate to our local community, imho I think having someone connected with it would be ideal
.
+An InstallFest is a chance for users new
to Linux and open source software to bring their computers to have Linux installed on them at no charge by experienced users
, as well as providing
a supportive environment to ask questions
, try out
the software and get any technical problems resolved

-* I don't suppose any of the NZ contingent embedded in Google/Amazon/etc might be available?
-* Education. Anyone come to mind? - Ask Sally Jo or someone from the uni. (I was thinking wider than the university, but it mightn't be a bad idea to have someone from CS deliver at least a presentation.)
-* GrahamLauder. Helping boost OpenOffice 3 seems smart to me. We ''could'' give Brett Roberts a presentation slot as well to talk about how Microsoft is reaching out to the wider community with OOXML. (we may need bouncers.)

[Barcamp
|WikiPedia
:Barcamp
]
+A barcamp is an open, participatory event or “unconference”, with content provided by all those attending. We are organizing a number of topics including Music/Audio programs, Software Patents (why they are bad), Commercial Viability Of Free/Open Source Software, Free Culture, [LCA10|http://www.lca2010.org.nz/] and more as part of our SFDBarcamp. <br><br>
+The [SFDbarcamp] wiki page will be opened a week before the event, and anyone can sign up and give a talk on something they are interested in. The talks must have some general connection with Free/Libre/Open Source software.
-!! Presentations and Other Speakers/Talks
+Feel free to browse through our web site:
-* Lighting talks (Really quick demos on a bunch of stuff) (Rough est on length?)
-* Demo OpenDisc (Using a Windows PC)
-* Music == Good. Don't forget the composing/performing/production crowd at university and Wintec.
-* Ask someone involved with LinuxConfAu to come or at least distribute some info for LCA 2010.
-* Demo how OSS can be used in our "lives" e.g. home/uni/office, work/entertainment/creation/education etc.
-* eday is around the same time, after sfd I think, invite someone to speak about that maybe a potential sponsor
-* Guide to wiki-ing, demo on wlug wiki and tips and examples of how to edit a wiki
+* HomePage
+* NewToLinux
-!! Other
+WLUG members keen to help run the day please sign up on the [SFDPlanning] page.
-* Who loaned the demo machines last year? (Prehaps Preinstall os
this time)
-* LTSP, seemed quite popular last year
-* Setup a Kubuntu/Ubuntu/Debian mirror for the day
-
-!!zcat's thoughts on structure;
-* Primarily I'd like this to run 'trade show' style. Various businesses are allocated table space and are responsible for their own display. This means our SFD
event gets
to have lots of stuff on display but WLUG don't have to do any of the work involved, or as little work as possible
. +
.5 (Think this year maybe it should be on donation/ability to pay basis)
-* Greeters! We really need two
or three people at the door all day to welcome people, hand out material.. +1
-* Talks
on various topics throughout the day. Very popular last year. We need someone to be responsible for organizing, announcing and facilitating this (it's a fulltime job) +1
-* hackfest
-- tables, power, network (Wired and wireless if possible), several volunteers available through the whole day. +1
-* Internet and Free wifi -- Last year WAND provided it (I believe they hooked into Lightwire with a soekris box). This year we'll be covering a bigger area and possibly need several AP's and more bandwidth. A block of routable IP's would be fantastic. Sponsorship by Lightwire would be good. Someone should contact them quite soon.
- * jgb- FreeWifi sponsored by Lightwire should be a slam dunk. Think the ips are overkill, yeah if we had some self directed volunteers to be an AV team. We will all be spread to thin if we try to do this, I think we should focus on the things we know we can do well. I'm sure you could be the whole AV team, but we need your help with other things this year.
