[Linux-aus] Re Everything Open 2026 in Canberra?

[Paul Wayper]

Hi all,

Picking up a bunch of ideas that we talked about in the LA meeting.

I think the main thing we should be looking at is: how do we build a 
sustainable, maintainable process for running Everything Open conferences.

One idea I'd like to see is a essentially a sub-committee formed from people 
who plan to run upcoming EO conferences.  Some jobs, like venues and dinners, 
need to be people in the location of the next conference.  Some, like 
treasurer and sponsorship and volunteer coordinator, could be longer term 
roles with people that could be elsewhere.  Some might be an 'apprentice' or 
'learner' role - e.g. the chair for EO27 might be an assistant chair for EO26.

I'm aiming for continuity, maintainability, and long term knowledge retention.

I'm interested in running EO26 in Canberra; I know Arjen is interested in EO26 
on the Sunshine Coast.  We don't need to fight over this :-)  I think it's 
more useful for us to get together and form a group that can run EO and then 
work out what teams and venue options might be available.

What do people think of those ideas so far?

Hope this helps,

Paul
