Update on SFD 2011. It seems that if we wish to hold a public event at Paignton Library for SFD 2011, then we will need to get our own public liability insurance to cover a minimum of £5 million. Talking to the "recommended" insurance companies community division, they have come back with a quote of £156. Assuming we have < 1,000 visitors. Apparently this will give us a years cover from the first event date so we can do other events if we wish. However if we are going to invest this sort of money + approx £60 an event for room hire, then we are talking about at least 4 events spread over a year to make good use of the insurance and its going to come to > £350. If you want an SFD event and / or other events during the year to promote FLOSS then you are going to need to commit to donating both time and money to get it done, I'm not interested in "arm chair" activists anymore, I need people who are prepared to get off their butts and do something for FLOSS. All those who are seriously committed to making a difference to the digital landscape of our region please sign up here. -> Tom. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
