No FSM meet-up in September, SFD instead

Hi all, I've got some bad news, and some good news. The bad news: There won't be any Free Software Melbourne meet-up this month. The good news: Instead, we'll be busy preparing for Software Freedom Day! This is on Saturday, 21 September, 09:30-17:00, at the Melbourne Unitarian Church hall in East Melbourne. More details on this event can be found in the following links: http://luv.asn.au/2013/09/21 http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/2013/Australia/Victoria/Melbourne/SFD It should be an exciting day, so I hope you all can make it! There has also been the suggestion of perhaps doing an informal hacking day to celebrate GNU's 30th birthday. Stay tuned to the free-software-melb mailing list if this interests you, and feel free to suggest a venue if anyone has any ideas. https://www.gnu.org/gnu30/ Cheers, Adam
