    Here's some more places to send the announcement! :)

    This is your first chance to reach out... so send it far and wide.

    LCA is an international conference in Australia - so think outside the
    wide brown land, and look for lists, groups and meetups beyond our
    shores too.  Look for special interest targets that intersect with free
    and open source software and hardware.

    Here's some I've found to get you started! :)

    cheers

    I wonder if Sky Croeser is still based in Perth?
    http://linux.conf.au/schedule/30195/view_talk
    She's spoken at LCA, and has recently joined the ada initiative advisory
    board - so she'd be good to reach out to.

    And if we're going to try and woo the Mining sector... it might be worth
    exploring these
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_free_geology_software
    And cultivating a possible mini-conf on FLOSS for digging.

    And finally... This really is an international conference... so get this
    out to Free, Libre, Open Source Software and Open Hardware groups all
    around the world.

    New Zealand!

    http://www.nzlinux.com/

    some sites looking a little out of date, so dig a bit to find some
    contacts...

    Here's a couple of other starting points...

    http://lea-linux.org/documentations/Annuaire:LUG_&_assos_nationales

    http://lug.org.uk/

    And don't forget to look for linux groups on google+, linkedin, facebook
    etc.  When you tweet... occasionally ping #linux


    trawl meetup.com <http://meetup.com>
    http://linux.meetup.com/
    http://opensource.meetup.com/

    Don't forget the dev-ops communities...
    http://www.meetup.com/DevOps-Perth/
    http://www.meetup.com/devops-sydney/

    And sys-admins
    http://www.sage-au.org.au/mailing-lists

    and databases... postgresql / mysql...  any local groups? Any local
    companies specialising in open source database support?
    Just found these guys...
