Re: [free-software-melb] Free Software discussion group this Thursday 18 October

Hi Daniel, Sorry you weren't able to make it yesterday. We had an interesting discussion about E-tax, which I'll summarise in a separate email. Perhaps you could reply with a brief overview of OSIA's perspective? I'm not familiar with Zeitgeist Melbourne, but hope the evening was successful. Regards, Ben On 18/10/12 15:42, DanyJ wrote:

Hi Ben

I'd like to come down to that meeting.

Can I plz ask that the eTax discussion be first - as I am interested and can fill up on OSIA stand, because I have unfortunately to go somewhere else at 7.

BTW I am going to another meetup in Fitzroy where they are showing a film on Open Source Technologies - I never met this mob before and have no idea what they are up to:

Zeitgeist Monthly Documentary Screening: Open Source Technologies Zeitgeist Melbourne Thursday, October 18, 2012 7:00 PM Gertrude's Brown Couch 30 Gertrude St, Fitzroy Melbourne

Do you know them?

Cheers Daniel.
