Not putting my hand up for anything concrete yet as I may be OS at that 
time.  Still trying to make arrangements.

However, I would like to throw a couple of ideas into the pot for 
marketing the event:

1.  Have someone prepare 250-300 words on the FOSS concept, features and 
benefits and offer it to the Canberra Times, Chronical and City News as 
editorial.

2.  Approach Local Radio for a 5 minute or better slot talking about 
FOSS.  I wouldn't mind betting ABC Local would be in it.

3.  Approach major retailers for a donation of a budget Netbook, load on 
Linux and offer it as a Raffle Prize during the Computer Fair with the 
Raffle to to be drawn at the Install Fest.  Winner gets the netbook and 
3 hours of Linux training.  Proceeds to Charity.

But wait, there's more.........no, just kidding.  Just my two bobs worth.

Regards to all
