<div> If it's easy to shift the conference dinner to Thursday, then it
would make sense to hold GeoRabble on the Wednesday to hopefully
catch some of the Ozri crowd.<br></div>
<div> <br></div>
<div> If not, hold GeoRabble on the Thursday when there isn't anything
else scheduled.<br></div>
<div> <br></div>
<div> I don't think it's a good idea to hold it during the 'icebreaker'
event since people will want to catch up with old friends and make
new ones, and not listen to talks.<br></div>

<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi all, <br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>There has been some discussion going on with GeoRabble
organisers about the possibility of organising a GeoRabble
event during the week of our event. For us to get behind
this, obviously we would need to figure out a time slot
when this could make sense.<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>The idea is that the GR crew would organise the GR
event, and we would merely make way for this to happen,
and promote it to our attendees. This is all hypothetical,
until we get confirmation from the Melbourne GR organisers
that they actually want to do this.<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>At today's committee meeting, we batted around some
ideas for time slots when this could happen. The options
we came up with are listed below, with some pros &
cons of each. <br></div>

</blockquote><div>There is some urgency to coming to a conclusion on
this, as our registrations are due to open on Monday, and
one of the above options requires us to move our dinner
event, thus changing what some people would be registering
for. It would be best to not change the date of the dinner
after people have bought tickets.<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>So as I see it, the question is in two parts: 1) should
we make room for GeoRabble in our schedule, and 2) if so,
which of the above options makes the most sense for us?<br></div>
