moin moin, we need help getting the word out for ABLEconf. Those who participate in other groups such as TFUG, ASULUG, AZloco, PhxBUG, AzPHP, LUGY, etc. please forward this over to their lists if you think it appropriate. Please also tell friends, neighbors and co-workers as appropriate :). ciao, der.hans -- # http://www.LuftHans.com/ http://www.LuftHans.com/Classes/ # kill telnet, long live ssh - der.hans ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Sun, 5 Jul 2009 03:54:36 -0700 (MST) From: der.hans Reply-To: ABLEconf planning and discussion. To: discuss@lists.ABLEconf.com Subject: [Discuss] call for ABLEconf volunteers moin moin, ABLEconf is Arizona's premier Free Software event. We are looking at a Saturday in Oktober for the conference this year. The Arizona Business and Liberty Experience ( ABLE conf ) is a business-oriented Free Software conference organized by a coalition of many Arizona Free Software groups. In order to put on the conference we need volunteers. Our greatest need right now is help in getting the word out such that we can get participation from more groups and hopefully also pick up more volunteers. ABLEconf will be in Tempe, but it's a state-wide effort. We specifically want participation from all parts of Arizona. We need volunteers to help with promo dispersion. Essentially you would review promo posts from ABLEconf and pass them on if you feel they are appropriate for the group or media outlet you're interfacing. Mailing lists, newspapers, blogs and social networking services are examples of possible groups we want to notify. We will usually have recommendations as to which types of outlets should get the message, but it is up to the individual monitoring a group to decide whether or not to post the notice. It is possible for multiple people to monitor a particular outlet. They will need to then work together. It's also possible for one person to monitor multiple outlets :). As an example, I feel this post is appropriate for PLUG and LOPSA-US-AZ, which I'm currently interfacing, so I will forward it to both of those groups, but whoever would be interfacing TFUG would look at it and decide if it's appropriate for TFUG. http://www.ABLEconf.com/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page#Open_Positions Join our discuss mailing list if you'd like to participate.
