[02:39] <sagaci> draft event for sydney release party - http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-au/1505/detail/
[02:41]  * benonsoftware would like a release party for Melbourne :P
[08:08] <head_victim> benonsoftware: my advice, start organising one :)
[08:09] <benonsoftware> head_victim: So just see if there is a suitable venue and see if anyone is interested? :P
[08:09] <head_victim> Yep, the issue with volunteer groups like ours is everyone wants someone else to organise it. Unless someone sticks their hand up to be the one to organise it then it will never happen.
[08:10] <head_victim> We're here to try and help you organise things by providing assistance and guidance from our experience but I can't really organise an event in Melbourne, it just wouldn't work too well.
[08:10] <benonsoftware> Ok, thanks
[08:23] <sagaci> benonsoftware: find an open cafe somewhere that's close to public transport
[08:23] <sagaci> and decent parking
[08:24] <benonsoftware> Thats what I'm trying to think two :P
[08:24] <benonsoftware> The first place that came into my head was the State Library
[08:24] <head_victim> If there is a cafe at the state library it might be a good idea. People generally prefer socialising over food/beverages
[08:25] <benonsoftware> Yeah, there is a cafe there
[08:26] <benonsoftware> I'll check tomorrow in the morning about it
[08:26] <head_victim> Most events range from 5 people to 20 people so that gives you a guide to work with.
[08:27] <head_victim> Wifi is non essential due to the proliferation of 3g and the fact that it's mainly a social event. Technical gatherings usually work better separately.
[08:27] <benonsoftware> Ok
[08:28] <benonsoftware> I'll set a reminder for myself to ring the library and ask them about the cafe
[08:29] <sagaci> I probably won't take my laptop next time
[08:29] <benonsoftware> sagaci: Did you say you went to the linux.conf?
[08:30] <sagaci> only from monday to yesterday
[08:30] <benonsoftware> How was it?
[08:30] <sagaci> apart from the music and multimedia miniconf on monday, it was mostly over my head
[08:38] <benonsoftware> :)
[08:38] <benonsoftware> What other things where there?
[08:41] <sagaci> you can stream it from - http://linux.conf.au/live tomorrow
[12:49] <sagaci> head_victim: was there any other iterations of trash/wastebin
[12:49] <sagaci> I've fixed all of the trash/wastebin ones
