[clug] Software Freedom Day 2009 - this Saturday!

[Ian Bardsley]

G'Day Paul

Thanks for the timely reminder. This has snook up on me.

As I have undertaken to organise snacks and drinks for "Installfest" on 
the 26th, 'tis time to start planning. My main questions at this stage 
are, does the venue have the facility to provide boiling water, an urn 
or other such device would be useful. Also, based on past experience 
what kind of numbers would you expect to be in attendance, 10 - 20, 20 - 
40, less, more? Would appreciate your input over the next couple of days.

TIA, Talk soon :-)
