FSM 17th Nov - Free Software Show and Tell night
by Ben M 11 Nov '16

11 Nov '16

Hi Software Freedom Lovers It's that time of the year when we look back and think about the Free Software that has improved our lives and given us all so much joy. So join us this Thursday November the 17th at Electron Workshop (31 Arden Street) <https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/2556615434#map=19/-37.80118/144.95071> for our last meetup in the usual place this year for a "Free Software Show and Tell". We'll each go round and talk for a few minutes about the one or two pieces of Free and Open Source Software that has made a big impact on us this year It can be something you've just heared about and it sparked your interest or something you've come to rely upon day in and day out If you're stuck for ideas you can always review some of the release sections of our gnews (conveniently linked below) or resort to just ranting about Stallman and Torvalds for a bit for that matter. Or maybe it was a video discussing the concepts of FLOSS that caught your attention this year At 6:30 Michael Verrenkamp will kick us off with call to action on a campaign he's supporting and then we'll get into the show and tells. When we finish those we'll celebrate the last meetup of the year with pizza for dinner and finish the night off with our usual Gnews and Discussion and aim to wrap up around 8:00 I know I picked up a few new tools last year at the show and tell and it's always a fun night, so I'm cracking to see you all there on the 17th! Event details Thursday 17th Nov, 6:30-8:00pm 31 Arden St, North Melbourne, Victoria, 3051 Map: http://osm.org/go/uG4HWyqEz?m=&node=2556615434 Travel tips by Electron Workshop: http://www.electronworkshop.com.au/map/ Running late or can't find us?

Hi all, The FSM working group meetup is (to my suprise) upon us again and as the weather turns to spring I figured this is a good opportunity to do a touch of spring cleaning on the FSM website and wiki. We'll also trial integrating Mumble and EtherPad into the mix, so if you know the FSM mumble chanel you can join us in spirit ... so come along or tune in to have your say on what will go and what will stay FSM Working Group meeting 6:00pm ~ 8:00pm on the 3rd November There is a minor change of venue, we'll be at level 2 (not level 1) at TeamSquare (520 Bourke st, Melbourne) and as usual snacks, soft drinks and coffee will be in abundance https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/4271393497 ~~ Ben M
