Hey Free/Libre and Open Source Supporters, This month we will be joined by a representitive of the Flux party to discuss the state of issue-based direct democracy in Australia. The Flux Party is a tool Australians can use to directly participate in parliament. Flux is a party during the election but once there are elected Flux Party MP’s and senators that’s where the difference begins. Your Flux representatives give up their autonomy and vote according to the people. They cast their votes in line with the outcomes produced by the Flux ecosystem comprised of ordinary Aussies like you. You can checkout the flux website or join the party (it's free as in $0) here: https://voteflux.org After the discussion we will have our regular Gnews segment and then head down to Errol street for dinner and Free/Libre and Open Source Small-talk. Hope to see you at 6:30pm on Thursday the 19th of April at Electron Workshop for our regular Free Software Melbourne meet-up. Event details Thursday 19th Apr, 6:30-8:00pm 31 Arden St, North Melbourne, Victoria, 3051 Map: http://osm.org/go/uG4HWyqEz?m=&node=2556615434 Running late or can't find us? Call Ben on 0419 390 496

Howdy folks, Internet Freedom Hack <URL:https://internetfreedomhack.org/> is a community event that brings technologists with a passion for digital rights together for a weekend to build things that advance the cause of internet freedom. Registrations are open now, and the event is hosted at my employer (ThoughtWorks in Melbourne) on Friday 2018-04-20 and Saturday 2018-04-21. The hack takes place during the day, with evening talks from prominent speakers on internet freedom. It's definitely in line with the purpose of Free Software Melbourne! -- \ “Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does | `\ knowledge.” —Charles Darwin, _The Descent of Man_, 1871 | _o__) | Ben Finney

I'll try it out in my copious free time, or perhaps next time I'm faced with a mountain of Markdown documents to write. Also, it's good to see that it integrates with Pandoc. This is a fantastic tool. I depend on it heavily. Andrew -- OpenPGP key: EB28 0338 28B7 19DA DAB0 B193 D21D 996E 883B E5B9
