We should get a central location on the LA site or something detailing to potential speakers how they can organise an Australian LUG tour. Many larger corporations, when sending someone over here for a conf or a meeting spend a lot of money doing so. Spending an extra few bucks to get them to a few LUGs and have a good community vibe is pocket change. hrrm... maybe a calendar of LUG events like linmagau used to have.... -- Stewart Smith (stewart@linux.org.au) Committee Member, Linux Australia
