Happy new year*, free software Melbournians! It's time for another meeting! I know we talked about having a BBQ, but I must admit that the required work to organise it has neglected. So! let's meet for a *tasty dinner* at Big Ma-Ma [1]. It will be just like old times. See you there at 6pm this Thursday. If you're coming, please let me know (just to my email) so I can tell the restaurant how many people are coming. If you decide to come at the last minute, that's cool; just show up. Next month we'll have a regular meeting again. We'll have an election for the next committee, so please consider nominating for a position. If you know you don't want to be on the committee, we also need someone to volunteer to be the returning officer (the person who counts the votes). Let me know if you're interested. See you on Thursday, Alex * Or Happy Chinese GNU year, if you prefer. [1] http://www.urbanspoon.com/r/71/1524991/restaurant/CBD/Big-Mama-Melbourne

Public Transport Not Traffic: Tech Volunteers Needed
by Dan Peade 05 Feb '14

05 Feb '14

Hi Free Software Melbourne, My name is Dan Peade and I'm a Melbourne based web application developer. In addition to my day job, I am currently trying to assemble a volunteer tech team to help with execution of the online strategy for the Public Transport Not Traffic Campaign (http://www.publictransportnottraffic.org/) We're looking for technical professionals with skills in software development (any languages), sysadmin, javascript, CSS/HTML and graphic design, who would be willing to contribute even the smallest amount of time to helping make the campaign a success. We'll definitely be focused on using open source as much as we can. The initiative is sponsored by Common Code, my employer, so all volunteers will have access to our office (organic fruit and beer often available!) as well as the chance to meet and network with other technical professionals in the industry. If you think you might be interested in getting involved and helping out, or know anyone who would be, please get in touch! I'm on email here: dan.peade(a)gmail.com Thanks for reading, Dan ----------------- Email: dan.peade(a)gmail.com
