OK. Sounds good. Is there someone there I can speak to directly on the
ground?

If you can send me the details, and what sort of content you are hoping to
cover I can spread the word. I have cc'd the Sydney Linux Chix group to
help, but I'd like to tell the local Linux user group as well.

I'll happily forward something to the lists I'm on, and then people can
contact you directly. Could you include the speakers you already have
confirmed, the time, and rough location so people can then contact you with
rsvps. I will announce it tonight at the local Linux user group meeting.

I would certainly be interested in presenting about women in ICT and what is
happening in the next generation if that suits.
Cheers,
