-Software Freedom Day 2010 will be held on Saturday,
18th September.
+Software Freedom Day 2010 18th September.
-!!! Venue
-
-We have signed a contract to hold it
at CentrePlace.
-
-We did it here in 2006:
-
-http://softwarefreedomday.org/gallery/2006/gallery/2006/oceania/nz/hamilton
-
-We need to decide what spot to setup our gears. There are two sides to the Mall:
-
-[Worley Place/Garden Place side|http://wlug.org.nz/archive/centreplace1.jpg]
-[The side with the movie theater and coffee shops|http://wlug.org.nz/archive/centreplace2.jpg]
-
-The two spots
we are looking at:
-
-1. The Crossroads. (3 on map 1)
-
-$250
. Outside EB Games, high traffic area and close to Garden Place.
-
-2. The Fashion Lane. (1 - 5 on map 2)
-
-$300. Near
the coffee shops, and lots of shops where mostly women go. A good amount of traffic coming in from Victoria/Ward Streets, and a view from above on the second level.
-
-There are other places, like the area outside of ~EziBuy that has a lot of space, and would be less hectic, but also less visible.

-Your Vote
-
-# Crossroads +1
-# Fashion Lane +
-# Other spot +
- * (if so where)
-
-!!! Things being organized:
-
-* Custom OpenDisc/
KiaOra DVD - Bruce
-* Public Liability Insurance - John
-* Waikato Trust Grant - John (to pay for the above)
-
-!!! More things to organize
-
-__Tux__ - We need a small person, or several small persons to volunteer to walk around the mall in a penguin suit.
-* Requirements are that the penguin suit wearer
is small, sociable, and a linux user. Bruce will get Punua
to try out
the penguin suit next week
, although we probably want more than one person to take turns. Cairo will assist and care for the penguin on the day, and take
a turn wearing the suit if necessary (although she's really too tall now).
-
-4-5 Windows/Linux PCs - Ideally machines that are dual-boot, reasonably fast and with LCD screens. Four identical machines would be ideal. Four laptops would be even better, less setting up and packing away.
-
-John can donate the use
of his laptop
for the day.
-
-__Printing__ - flyers/Library Display/membership forms
-
-University might provide some printing
. Ask for funding for some colour posters? Library display?
-
-__Others ideas__
-
-Survey
to win a prize? (usually usb sticks) -- Approach DSE (and other FOSS-friendly places?) very soon for sponsorship, it takes them time to get this approved.
-
-__Sponsors/Donations__
-
-Velocity might help us get an Internet connection.
-
-RimuHosting is usually good for $200 donation.
-
-Planning follow up meeting at Hub events room #2 or Uni geared toward newbies.
-
-
-__Early notes moved from SFSPlanning2010__

-
-
-!! Budget
-
-Possible sponsors, get these sorted out well in advance
-
-!!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. Vendors pay a token amount per table to help cover other costs. Vendors need to confirm with us what they'll be putting
-
-* Greeters! We really need two
or three people at the door all day to welcome people, hand
out material..
-
-* 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)
-(someone
to organize/coordinate events room 1 barcamp)
-
-* hackfest -- tables, power, network (Wired and wireless if possible), several volunteers available through the whole day
.
-
-
-!! Things to not forget
-
-* evaluation survey
-* eventfinder, whatsonhamilton, happysheep
