FSM April 20th - FSM Elections, AMD Open Hardware submission and the Gnews
by Ben M 13 Apr '17

13 Apr '17

Hey there FLOSS fighters, It's time for our annual elections for the Free Software Melbourne Committee, so now is your chance to have your say in the running of the group. If you're interested in running then bring your enthusiasm and a short pitch about why you like Free Software and why you want to help the group. We'll also have a quick summary of the groups activities over the past year. After the election formalities Michael Verrenkamp will be sharing a draft submission he's prepared for AMD encouraging the adoption of open standards and open hardware. We'll have a read over the submission and have a discussion about other possible actions and similar initiatives we could address. We'll have a "short" pizza break and finish off with all the Gnews fit for public consumption* from the month gone by. Hope to see you there. * FSM is not responsible for Gnews induced indigestion Thursday 20th April, 6:30-8:30pm 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?

FSM Working group hacking hackathon licensing
by Ben M 03 Apr '17

03 Apr '17

Hey there Freedom Hackers Another virtual meetup on the Riot channel for the working group this month, seemed to work well last month just using text and maybe we could jump on mumble if we need to chat As it's coming up on hackathon season, this month at the Working group we're going to have a go at putting together a "hackathon licensing guidelines" page for the wiki and a kit of materials, pitches, suggestions and links I imagine the popular github licensing page would be a good start along with the FSM licensing guide, but more diversity and event specific advice could be given. Feel free to drop any suggestions in the new FSM Riot channel: # and we'll scan back over on the night We'll be hanging around the #freesoftwaremelb:matrix.zammit.org room from 6:00pm on Thursday the 6th of April and start breaking up into "license family groups" and preparing a list of resources and info Event details Thursday 6th April, 6:30-8:00pm Location: Online in Riot chatroom: #freesoftwaremelb:matrix.zammit.org Wiki: http://freesoftware.org.au/wiki/ Having trouble connecting?
