It’s coming…

by | Mon 2 Jul 2007

Holy crap, this weekend is [LUGRadio Live 2007](https://www.lugradio.org/live/2007/). This week is a busy week with every evening being dedicated to last minute preparations for the event. My house is slowly filling up with content for the event, we are making plans for last minute bits and pieces yet to be done, and the community is gearing up for the big weekend. We are also firming up a few special announcements. We have big news, people. Its kind of odd that six months of work is coming to a conclusion.

Running a community event is hard work. This year, LUGRadio Live has involved a hell of a lot more work, and we have over 15 crew members, two designers, AV contributors and much more. Much of the fun has been in discovering how *we* work and optimising how we can get the most out of our time. Before LRL2005, none of us had done anything like this before, so it has been a learning process, and each event has required progressively more and more work as it has grown. Organising it is not just organising over 40 speakers and a room full of exhibitors, but sorting out the venue, projectors, PA systems, hotels, hotel discounts, transport links, special events, scheduling, social events, posters, equipment, BOF sessions, venue facilities, printing and more. Well, in a week or so we can see the result of our efforts. 🙂

LUGRadio Live 2007 is uniquely community. We can’t wait to see the lot of you there. If you are still unsure about whether to come, you would be nuts to miss out. 7th and 8th July, Wolverhampton. Be there. 🙂

The Impact of One Person

The Impact of One Person

I am 35 years old and *people* never cease to surprise me. My trip home from Los Angeles today was a good example of this. It was a tortuous affair that should have been a quick hop from LA to Oakland, popping on BArt, and then getting home for a cup of tea and an...

Ubuntu Governance: Reboot?

For many years Ubuntu has had a comprehensive governance structure. At the top of the tree are the Community Council (community policy) and the Technical Board (technical policy). Below those boards are sub-councils such as the IRC, Forum, and LoCo councils, and...
