[H-GEN] [H-ANNOUNCE] AGM 2017 Minutes

[Robert Brockway]

Hi all.  Quick comment on the AGM minutes.

AGM minutes:
> I have been working with several others, both inside and outside HUMBUG, 
> to construct a bid to host Linux.Conf.Au on the Gold Coast in 2020. We 
> have done some site inspections, and are quite happy with the venue 
> options available to us. I am confident that we will be able to host a 
> successful conference, based on these and the budget estimations. We 
> will submit our bid once Linux Australia opens the call for bids, which 
> I expect to happen in the not too distant future.

I'm not sure what facilities on the Gold Coast have been looked at but I'd 
recommend checking out Gold Coast City Council facilities.  GCCC provides 
good facilities at a very affordable price.  They also offer significant 
discounts for community events.

Many of these facilities are close to ample accomodation.

I was on the organising committee for a (non-IT) conference earlier in the 
year.  We held the conference at the Albert Waterways Community Centre and 
were very happy with the venue (and the price).
