Hi folks,
I have been threatening it for a long time, and it is finally happening! The inaugural meeting of Free Software Brisbane (name tentative) is occurring this Thursday at The Edge, from 6pm.
The group will aim to meet once a month and will focus on free software philosophy, advocacy and education, with an aim to be accessible to non-technical folks. Therefore, any technical content will serve these ends, e.g., tutorials on free privacy or tours of free office productivity software are the sort of presentations we'd be after... deep dive on the latest virtualization software or Emacs mode, not so much :)
We have two talks lined up for the first night - Introduction to Free Software by George Wilson, and Campaigns of the Free Software Foundation by yours truly. We'll probably get some grub at South Bank afterwards.
Hi Fraser and list readers, How did the first meet-up go last night? I would love to hear how it went. Unfortunately I couldn't make it, but I plan to next time! -- Andrew Roffey http://andrew.roffey.org [mailto|xmpp]:andrew@roffey.org see website for GPG/OTR pubkeys
