hi,<br>
<br>
based on the web site and the activity on the mailing list, Victoria.pm<br>
seems to be quite dormant these days.<br>
<br>
I wonder if there are people there who would like to wake it up.<br>
<br>
LinuxFest Northwest will take place on 30 April - 1 May 2011 in<br>
Bellingham, Washington, USA.<br>
<br>
It looks like a cool event and not too far from Victoria.<br>
I am trying to get the near-by Perl mongers to join forces, offer<br>
a few Perl related talks and setup a Perl booth at the event.<br>
<br>
Are you interested using this as an excuse to get together with some<br>
other Perl Mongers in Victoria?<br>

Subject: [Fest-list] Get involved in LinuxFest Northwest 2011<br>

<br>
<br>
For the 12th year, LinuxFest Northwest 2011 is happening April 30th<br>
and May 1st.<br>
<br>
LinuxFest Northwest is a community event, organized by a team of<br>
volunteers. Its success depends on participation. We are asking the<br>
Free&Open Source Software community to get involved.<br>
<br>
*Present* at the Fest on a project that you use or contribute to.<br>
Share your experiences with potential users, connect with other<br>
contributors, or find collaborators on a new idea. Presentations add<br>
value for everyone involved, including you. If you don't want to<br>
present, perhaps you know of someone who could. Or if you have<br>
something to say that won't take an hour, check out the Lightning<br>
Talks session. For more information, email<br>
<a href="mailto:present@linuxfestnorthwest.org">present@linuxfestnorthwest.org</a>.<br>
<br>
*Exhibit* and get your messages to a select audience. Whether you<br>
represent a F&OSS non-profit, a college or a company that sells to<br>
technical users, the low key exhibits are effective marketing.<br>
Exhibitors are a key component of the community. For more information,<br>
email <a href="mailto:exhibit@linuxfestnorthwest.org">exhibit@linuxfestnorthwest.org</a>.<br>
<br>
*Sponsor* LinuxFest Northwest to show visible support for the F&OSS<br>
community and receive valuable exposure in return. The Fest attracts<br>
attendees from California to British Columbia, and has international<br>
recognition. Free admission depends on funding and support provided<br>
primarily by sponsors. If your company depends on open source<br>
technology (no matter where it is located), please consider an LFNW<br>
sponsorship as a way to give back. New this year, individual<br>
supporters can pre-pay discretionary Fest expenses online. For more<br>
information, email <a href="mailto:sponsor@linuxfestnorthwest.org">sponsor@linuxfestnorthwest.org</a>.<br>
<br>
There are buttons on the front page of <a href="http://linuxfestnorthwest.org" target="_blank">linuxfestnorthwest.org</a> to join<br>
in the effort.<br>
<br>
In past years, Fest organizers have received information and feedback<br>
from area User Groups and attendees about ways to improve. The online<br>
forums (under the Community tab on the front page) are intended to<br>
generate discussions and make connections as the Fest approaches. If<br>
there is a subject that you would like to hear about, please post to<br>
the “Sessions” forum, and if you'd like to present, that's a place to<br>
get some ideas.<br>
<br>
Please help *Spread the Word*. Let people know that you are part of<br>
LinuxFest Northwest through social sites, blogs, Twitter, forums,<br>
mailing lists. Word of mouth is the main way that people discover<br>
LFNW. Do someone a favor; tell them about the Low Stress Fest.<br>
<br>
This message will also be sent to the LFNW Fest-List. If you are<br>
subscribed at the LFNW website AND the Fest-List, you will receive<br>
both copies. Most communication for LFNW 2011 will be done through the<br>
website, although some messages will also be distributed to Fest-List.<br>
There are unsubscribe instructions at both locations.<br>
