Just thinking out loud.

If we send out the publicity message to WAIN (and other) on next Monday,
maybe we can have regos open on 1 May instead?

Kind Regards,

2008 planning fixed.

I'd say general chatty "what do you think" types of communication via
the google group, then more "publicity or knowledge base" stuff on the
wiki ??

Yes - the big "Lib2.0" in the logo is a bit of a giveaway that it's a L2
unconf :) ... didn't notice that.

Are people OK if this Monday I send out the publicity message to WAIN
and get others to send out in their networks . If so, is the "regos open
on 1 June " thing OK?

Lucia, do you mind doing a guesstimate of how many bodies the venue will
hold so we can set a limit if we need to? Last year we very flippantly
said that if people spilled out into the steet, we'd let them.... this
year I'm not so sure :)

Hi Kathryn
Thanks for all the work you have done on getting this started.

I am with Julia on it being a little bit more prescriptive - in
mentioning Library 2.0 as it is on the Wiki site "Library 2.0
Unconference" and would use this in the publicity email too.

Thought there may be a bit of confusion between where people should
provide feedback - is it on the wiki or within the google group or is
the latter just for if you want to help or is it in both. I have
moved things around a bit but if I got it wrong just ignore it.

It is good to have the archive pages but noted the 2008 Planning Group
is still going to the 2007 - is this page just waiting for an edit.

Suggest mention of breakout rooms - PC Training Room and Gadget
Bazaar- to perhaps entice.

I will have to ask about coffee and biscuit supplies from SLWA.

Cheers Lucia
