[Donna Benjamin]

Hi all,

Linux Australia has a stand at the Victorian IT Teachers Association
conference to promote the use of FOSS in schools.

The VITTA conference runs from Mon 24 - Wed 26 November at the 
Rydges Conference Centre on Bell Street, Preston, Victora
(melbourne northern suburbs - 20 mins from airport)

Stand setup is on the afternoon of Sunday 23rd and packup at the end of
the conference on Wednesday arvo / evening.

We need 
 1. people to help set up and pack up the stand (sun & wed arvo)
 2. people to staff the stand over 3 days (rostered in 3-4 hour shifts)
 3. resources 
(tables, computers, screens, posters, flyers, demos etc) 

I'm doing an Inkscape lab at the conference.
Also speaking:
  Pia and Jeff Waugh - Pillars of Open, OLPC, FOSS top 10
