At this point I'm mostly on my own, though I've heard from Graham Lauder
(New Zealand) who will be at the conference but wearing his openSUSE
hat. I've done a lot of these things, so once I get my list of what's
needed sorted out, I'll start recruiting Aussies -- if they don't
volunteer first. 

Note: the Open Day stall is being organised under the auspices of an
Australian not-for-profit association, Friends of OpenDocument Inc, and
will probably include more than just LibO. I think it's important to
keep pushing the importance of ODF in "free your documents", which of
course leads to free=libre and LibreOffice. ;-)
