Final to-dos!
Simon Pascal Klein
now six days away! I’ve just hacked up a quick list below:
Shopping
We need to pick up bottled water, ensure we have stationery and poster/
butchers paper for the time-slots, tea, coffee, perhaps a few bickies
and the like. We’ve yet to receive the $600 from SitePoint which I
hope we will have access to by mid-week to get the shopping done by
latest Friday. I can’t do this lacking a car sadly and was wondering
if a kind soul was willing to accompany and help me with the shopping.
(Regarding tea and coffee: I have one hot-water urn I can bring for
hot water on the day; anyone else have one they could bring? Two
should do it methinks.)
Vittles
We should also have enough funds to cover lunch and possibly a bar tab
the night prior or following the event. Dinner will be self-funded by
participants who decide to join. I recommend we make a booking again,
based off the response on the registration page (next year we should
ask people to either list as yay or nay: restaurants dislike it when
an additional 10+ suddenly rock up who said ‘maybe’).
So we have 32 who are up for dinner, 7 who won’t make it and 17
maybes. I recommend we make a booking for 35 to 40 for now. Last year
the dinner was held at the Turkish Pide House on Barry St I believe.
We could hold it there again or someplace else—what do people think? :)
Publicity
We need to get an idea of who has done what and which mailing lists
and noticeboards and whatnot else still needs attention. I’ve mailed
the CLUG and Linux Australia list, and the body copy I used for the
mails are on the BaseCamp grouphub page*. What about everyone else?
* The copy-and-paste formating needs some attention but otherwise it’s
available here: http://acidlabs.grouphub.com/projects/2812612/posts/19966753/comments#32300557
That’s it: shopping, organisation of lunch and the dinner booking, and
the publicity. Thoughts?

Publicity: I've re-spammed a half-dozen mailing lists just now :)
Shopping-wise: Mr Thomler or Ms Buerckner - you both live very close to Pascal - would either of you have time on Friday to assist with the shopping as driver?
Friday night drinks: I'm still proposing All Bar Nun (5 minutes walk from my new digs) in O'Connor or Trinity in Dickson (they invented a new cocktail in my honour last night so I am favourably disposed toward them). What do you folk think?
Best regards, Andrew

Since wheels are needed, I can provide car + driving on Thursday (all day) or Friday (morning) Canberra is such that as far as I'm concerned, everywhere is close.

However, Alli is away on the weekend visiting her parents in Tasmania,
so I won't be around for after-camp fun :(
That said, I'm more than happy to pitch in across the week for
whatever (shopping, etc.). Just give me jobs.
In terms of funding, given no other bastard has offered us money and
we're all essentially doing this out of the goodness of our hearts,
consider me up for $200 to go to pizza, water, etc.

we'll need to talk about who pays for pizza - originally I'd flagged it for UX Australia on grouphub, then Pascal suggested that the Sitepoint money pay for it.
What are our expenses? How much do we need?
Cheers, Andrew

Pizza, beer, water, snacks, whatever.

Last year's pizza was around $200. Water was $60. Treats/snacks was about $30.
I still have a big bag full of pins and some t-shirts (which were
$1000) - I'll bring them.
But like I said, assign me stuff. I feel I've been pretty MIA in this
whole thing and am feeling bad about it. I need ot make some sort of
useful contribution.

are those fresh t-shirts this year? If we put the Sitepoint $$ toward t-shirts, and you and I make up the difference, are you OK with UXAustralia covering the pizza?

They're leftovers from last year - a bunch of sizes (tending big).
Turnaround from CafePress is about 2 weeks.
Sounds good.

left-over SitePoint monies to reimburse yourself Stephen. :)
So I’ll use the monies from SitePoint first off for water and morning/
afternoon tea thingies. If there’s anything left over we can use it
for a bar tab.
I’m going to be sending them an invoice today still and have directed
the books they’re sending to be shipped to my address on express mail.
I’ll give one of you guys a call tonight or tomorrow re. the shopping
sprint.
Thanks again everyone!

you have both Rae Buerckner and Stephen Dann volunteering for shopping duties, that should make it easier :)
Cheers, Andrew
