[Lugcomms] [Linux-aus] LUG IRC Meet of 29 Sept ... and next meet on 27 Oct

[Steve Dalton]

Hi All

Where did the Barcamp suggestion come from?...I'd be keen to have a crack at
getting a national one going. I usually alternative between Brisbane and
Gold Coast camps - but we have enough critical mass to do one in each on the
same day... (with possible linkup).

Anzac weekend sounds good... Does that mean Saturday 24th April (and Sunday
for any overnighters)

There is a barcampaustralia list - perhaps we should continue discussion
there:
