Suppose it must be my turn...!

Leah Duncan, currently one of the LCA2009 coordinators and the acting 
President of TasLUG, although as we have two "chapters", one up north 
and one down south, the role is pretty much just as a central point of 
contact.

We're obviously in the process of getting Linux.conf.au underway for 
2009, so this is taking up a lot of our time this year; however Ben 
Powell's COALUG idea came out of the discussions we'd been having about 
LUG building in Tasmania.  Currently we are looking at a three monthly 
cycle of one major presentation with a non-Tasmanian based speaker, one 
local presentation, and one social meet every quarter.  There have been 
many discussions about holding a second "SFD-style" event at alternating 
ends of the state, around Easter each year, to maintain the exposure of 
FOSS in the community; though due to our current workload, that will be 
something for the next financial year.

Due to our members being spread across the state, we are looking at 
either filming our presentations to make them available online, or 
having "teleconference-style" meetings, dependent on securing a venue 
with this capability.

Launceston are also looking at running a series of tutorials as the year 
progresses, basically hands-on demos by our ex-Prez Gareth, so this is 
likely to be our first attempt at getting the AV stuff happening.

Cheers,

Leah Duncan.
