[ILUG] GITS LAID and talks at LAID

[Donncha O Caoimh]

But would we be reaching your target audience at LAID? ie. teachers and
technical staff?
I doubt if we would have time to set up a project like this easily
either :(
We're aiming this event at the business community and of course the
techies. 
Exposure of any kind is required but I feel we'd be biting off more than
we can chew if we try and get education people in. 
Of course, if it's just a talk on how Linux was used in a school
already.. well, that can probably be accomodated.

Since I made my last call for speakers for LAID late on Friday, is there
anyone else interested in speaking? and what topics would you cover?

I hope I don't need to spell it out that any speakers won't actually get
paid either, it's all purely voluntary. (that bit just to cover my ass!)

Donncha.
