Alastair and I will be at the Career Expo at Vic on Friday. Amberdms/ Wellington ICT is recruiting volunteers there and we've put aside half the table for OLPC as we had the extra space. I'll see if I can con Jethro into letting me use his ink and paper to print some blurbs that people can take home so they can remember us ;)<br>
<br>The fact we've added the blurb at the top of the web page with some links to more information should help as well- the link to the list was a bit hard to find before. When I have a moment, I'll add a bit more to it as to what we're doing and who we need. <br>
<br>As for Unlimited Potential, we have vague plans for a mid winter Christmas party which would be a family event- however, this is very much dependant on funding and its looking iffy on that front. <br><br>I have a meeting tomorrow with a few people to start the ball rolling about Software Freedom day and it would definitely be nice to have them there again, I reckon.<br>

</div>Can I suggest that in the days before a meeting people check that<br>
there's an unequivocal message to the effect of when and where we're<br>
meeting and how to recognise us? Think of it as making it easier for<br>
the lurkers to emerge.<br>

<br>
</div>I'm up the hill in the library.<br>

<br>
</div>Te Papa seems to do fairly aggressive cost recovery for pretty much<br>
everything, in my experience (which to be fair is how they fund<br>
themselves).<br>
