[Air-l] Introducing AOIRcamp: Un-conference for IR7.0 goers

[Marcus Foth]

Dear Kevin,

I'm not speaking on behalf of the AoIR 2006 conference organising  
committee, but I personally think that it is unfair of you to  
position this initiative in direct competition with official AoIR  
conference events such as the conference dinner. The more people are  
expected to attend a conference dinner, the less it will cost to  
stage it per person and the more diverse and rewarding the experience  
will be.

I think your idea is great and the event you propose would be lots of  
fun, but I suggest you work with us to make this a successful  
conference by contacting the conference organisers, Fay, Axel and  
Matthew, to find a free spot in the conference's social program and  
to book an appropriate venue at QUT. Some of these spaces might be  
suitable:

cheers, marcus
