Hi Folks, My apologies, I've just realised that we had a discussion group meeting scheduled last Thursday night and I'd completely forgotten.. I'd accidentally written the meeting in my diary on the wrong week. Sorry to anyone who went along on Thursday. I'd be happy to buy you a drink some time to make up for it! Next discussion group is on 16 December, which is *definitely* in my diary this time. ;) Cheers, Ben

OSDC conference - Free software/patents?
by Patrick Sunter 23 Nov '10

Hi guys, so a reminder that the Open Source Developers Conference starts in Melbourne tomorrow! http://2010.osdc.com.au/ Hope to see some of you there again - I think last minute tickets may be available still too. At the Melb Free software meeting I went to we canvassed the idea of having your anti-software patent petition there for people to sign - just wondering if this is going ahead? If so I'm happy to 'plug' it at the end of my talk, but I'm not speaking till the Friday afternoon (http://2010.osdc.com.au/proposal/62/open-sourcing-metropolitan-planning) so you might want to see if a speaker earlier in the conference would be happy to as well. -- Pat.
