Wow, where does the month go! Thanks for the reminder Chris, I almost forgot. Yes meeting is on tonight. Sorry about the late notice. Proposed agenda: - review the patents campaign and discuss plans from here - given it's around tax time, discussion of non-free software distributed by our government eg. eTax Any other suggestions?

Thanks to everyone who came along last night, especially as I'd forgotten to send out a reminder! We had six people which provided an interesting discussion on the patents campaign and also on the potential for copyright law changes. Great to meet some new people too. :) Discussion group meetings are monthly. Here are the next two for your diary: - Thursday 18 November, 6:30pm at State Library - Thursday 16 December, 6:30pm at State Library Regards, Ben
- Thursday 18 November, 6:30pm at State Library - Thursday 16 December, 6:30pm at State Library
I find google calendars quite useful for this kind of thing. You could create a calendar for software freedom events then share it with people on the mailing list. -- Michael Smith +61 416 062 898 http://glitch.tl

Thanks for the suggestion Michael. I've published an iCal events calendar file for the upcoming meetings though. (I take a fairly purist stance and avoid "software as a service" like Google Apps) If anyone uses a software-based calendar, you can now subscribe to: http://www.softwarefreedom.com.au/free-software-melb/freesoftware.ics Hope that does the trick. Ben
Sorry I missed the meeting last nite, I had intended to come and had it in my diary for a long time, but a last minute matter disrupted my schedule :( - Will do next one. I also support the idea of not using "Google Apps" when there are more open alternatives. Cheers Daniel. On Fri, 22 Oct 2010 12:33:48 +1100 Ben Sturmfels <ben@stumbles.id.au> wrote:
