Mid-Cycle Events

[Jared Norris]

Good evening all,

In January the Brisbane members got together for an InstallFest during
the middle of the cycle for the 11.10 release cycle. We discussed that
we would probably like to make this a regular occasion as an addition
to the release parties. We also decided that the name InstallFest was
a bit misleading and discouraged other users from attending. Therefore
I propose we change the name to "Ubuntu-AU Workshop", "Ubuntu-AU Open
Day" or something similar and market it as something people can come
to for help installing, general problems or just curious. I would also
like to suggest that other locations join in on the action and create
their own local events.

So from what I can tell we need to do the following:
* Decide what to call it
* Organise co-ordinators and volunteers for each location wanting to participate
* Create loco.u.c events
* Organise a venue (we found public libraries had free meeting rooms
that were great, we also decided to pick them as close to free parking
and public transport as possible).
* Market the events
* Hold the events

Thoughts, comments or questions anyone?
