Don't worry about toes, just offer, it might free someone else up to do
something else....

We do need someone to put together the ppt/impress to run at Dymocks. An
attention grabbing, captivating demo showing off WLUG, Linux, the installfest,
the sponsors, core OS applications & compatability/caability without landing us
with messages & litigation from lawyers representing other interests :-)

This could poss be a team effort, but something put together early to allow for
general input could be useful.


1st cut at a sequence, pull it to bits, whatever, but toss your ideas into the
pot...
