Upcoming Talks

Saturday, 07 April 2007

Russell Stuart will be giving a talk on Saturday the 7th of April at 6pm, about the upcoming LCA Bid for 2009. He will be covering:

- What is in the bid, what a bid looks like.
- When it is due.
- Decisions that must be made.
- Work that must be done.
- How I propose we organise ourselves.
- What I have done so far.
- Begging for help.

Here's a list of talks that we either have scheduled, are trying to schedule or have been otherwise offered or discussed.

Feel free to volunteer yourself (or somebody else ;-)) for a talk. Talks can be long or short, formal or informal and can be on any topic that you think HUMBUG will find interesting. Send your talk suggestions or offers to the Talks mailing list, or drop the Talks Maintainer an email.
