Hi everyone, Details for next week's meetup: Time: Thursday 4 September, 6:00 pm Venue: The Edge, Window Bay 7 (pretty much straight ahead as you enter) Sean Chalmers will give a talk about how free software has helped him gain - and share - valuable skills and knowledge: From a Bash shell, to Drupal, then France, back to Drupal, and finally on to Haskell and the programming language research rabbit hole. This talk will be a look into the importance of access to the knowledge and research of others, and their willingness to share, and how this has helped me reach where I am today. I will also touch on the effect this has had on how I treat the knowledge that I have, and the knowledge that I gain. Other agenda items: - News. We will have a brief news segment - send me your news items to be discussed or just tell us about it on the night! - Choosing a name. We have received a few good suggestions so we will discuss and hopefully decide a name for our group. + Libris + LibrePlanet Brisbane + Software Libre Brisbane + ... others? Suggestions are still welcome! - Code of Conduct. We ought to have one and I will suggest we adopt the LibrePlanet Code of Conduct[1]. We will discuss this and hopefully come to an agreement.

Hopefully this month we can make it to Beastie Burgers before they close, but otherwise it will be eats somewhere else in the South Bank precinct.
