[Linux-aus] Fwd: expanding Europe's Linux Presentation Day to Australia

[lists at ebourne.me.uk]

linux-aus,

Likely some of you are already aware but I haven't seen any discussion 
on here. Seems like something Linux Australia might want to get behind?

Cheers,
Martin

Hello,

in May 2015 Berlin's Linux user group (BeLUG) has started a new type of 
event
which has spread quickly all over Europe: the Linux Presentation Day 
(LPD)

2015.1: Berlin only
2015.2: 72 cities in three countries
2016.1: 110 cities in 10 countries
2016.2: 150+ cities in 14 countries (on October, 22nd)

I contact you because we intend to expand the LPD beyond Europe next 
year and
you are obviously interested in Linux and probably in a larger 
propagation of
Linux, too.

The aim of the LPD towards the general public is to provide biannual and
comprehensive information events about Linux for private users who 
would like
to get a first impression of Linux.

The aim towards the media is to make the event so big (both nationally 
and
internationally) that the nationwide non-IT media cover it regularly.

The aim towards the Linux community is that an LPD event can be so 
small and
easy to organize (even without costs) that really everyone can try to 
organize
an event with good chances of success. The local organizers decide on 
their
own what their event shall be like; we just make suggestions and offer
support.


You can find a longer description of the concept here:

Are you interested in participating in the LPD somehow i.e. organize an 
event
or help us find other organizers?


Best regards,

(Mr.) Hauke Laging
