LUG contacts,

If you could circulate this to your group's membership, we'd be very
grateful.

   Thanks,
   Niall Mansfield (UKUUG conf. organizer)

1. The UKUUG Summer Technical Conference is in Birmingham 7/8/9-August.
  We have a great range of speakers:
   http://summer2009.ukuug.org.uk/Talks
  and five really interesting tutorials (Drupal, Arduino, GIMP, LaTeX,
VoIP).

  Early bird rates apply to bookings up to 21-July.


2. Shameless bribery

  The reason we have so many tutorials, on such diverse topics, is to
  try and reach a wider constituency.  We're now resorting to bribery.
  We have really neat A6-sized fliers for the conference.  Anyone who
  genuinely [*] takes at least four fliers and distributes them
  appropriately will be entered in a draw.  The prizes are copies of
  JP Mens's acclaimed book "Alternative DNS Servers":
       http://uit.co.uk/altdns
  There is one prize for each 10 valid entries, so you have a 10%
  chance of winning.

  Here are ideas for how you might distribute fliers:

   - At LUG meetings leave them on tables/hand them out

   - Stick a couple on noticeboard at work

   - Leave a few on the table in college common-rooms or tea rooms

   - Enclose them in any post you're sending out to relevant folks

   - If you're in a university, put a few up on noticeboards in:
     * Computer Science dept.
     * Computer Services dept.
     * Maths and Physics depts. (as we're running a LaTeX
       tutorial, and LaTeX is great for typesetting maths)
     * Artsy places (as we're running an Arduino tutorial, and
       artsy people like Ardruino)

   - Bring a few to any conferences you attend, or relevant
         organizations that you visit.  (Stick them on their
         noticeboards when nobody's looking.)

   To enter, e-mail:
       ukuug-draw at uit
   with your postal address, and say how many A6 leaflets you want us
to send you.

   [*] Editor's decision final etc.  UK only.  Max. 100 prizes.
