Hi all, Just posted links to this months Gnews on our past meetup page: http://freesoftware.org.au/melbourne/past-meet-ups/ Our content management system didn't like the ".odp" extension, so I had to tack ".rm" on the end... which unix fans will recognize as "remove" ;) Thanks again to Michael for a fun and entertaining Gnews in Gnovember. ~~ Ben M
