[LCA2019 Chat] A "Geek Guide to Chch".

[hamster]

Hi, 

Is anybody keen to collaborate on a "A linux.conf.au Geek
Guide to Christchurch"? 

I'm happy to collate any and all submissions,
but would love somebody to help with layout & design general
presentations.... 

Please email me (off list) any suggestions of either
places to add, or types of places that would be of interest, of any
offers of help. 

I will post an update later on, and look to publish to
the list mid-December. 

Thanks 

Mike
