It is good fun. It is always good to go prepared - take plenty of CDs 
and preferably take some printouts with your LUG address and mailing 
list details. People like to have a means to get help. Also, some live 
demo machines are always good, but do install software the average user 
is likely to use such as KDE/GNOME, OpenOffice.org, Mozilla etc. It is 
not a good idea to woo people with really niche software and window 
managers - if they express an interest in that software's area, go 
ahead, but generally aim for a wide and general audience. These people 
want office suites, some games, web browsing, email, paint programs etc.

I will confirm all dates on Nov 2nd when I call the organisers. :)
