It's about time to start organising the Melbourne mini. I can't organise a venue unless people feel like heading to Bendigo and my 60x30 shed is capable of holding a fair few people. I'm hoping that someone else a lot closer to Melbourne will step up and do the organising but I'm quite happy to help out.
This year I'm hoping that we can do a bit more hands on stuff with some pixels and I imagine the FPP Pi player and Xlights 4 will feature a fair bit. Hopefully both LOR and LSP will have new updates out but I wouldn't hold your breath. I personally am pretty flexible for just about any weekend in May or June. A tentative date of May 30-31, 2015 has been thrown up which is the weekend after the Sydney mini/Vivid lighting festival.
Any possible venue needs to be pretty much available 9-5 for the Saturday and Sunday, have seating for about 30(ish) and have room to set up tables for showing off controllers, lights etc.
