[AuckLUG] Installfest location

[Patrick Gildea]

I agree. The idea of a registration process and a secert location is 
rediculous. If I have to register i'm not going to bother since it does 
defeat the purpose of a installfest.

Registering doesn't invite new people to try linux out at all. It activly 
encourages people not to come.
