Heh. I won't object to the idea, as I have nothing better to offer - assuming LUV agrees. Thanks.

Of course ask them first as a given. It was meant as a floated idea in the brainstorm. ;-) George

I would be up for a LAN gaming session. 3D shooters are my speciality ;) I think polishing free software for non-devs is also a great idea. On 22/06/12 16:50, Adam Bolte wrote:

Hey all,

It came up today at dinner that possibly some people might be interested in getting together for activities that are not strictly about discussing free software.

Some ideas I have (off the top of my head) are:

...

* LAN gaming using free software (eg, Nexuiz, Frozen Bubble, BoW). I'm

always

...

up for that.

Sounds like an idea.. Include a few games that are laptop friendly though.. B4W/BfW is good idea.

Sounds good, and looks like there's some interest. My laptop's nothing powerful either - an E-350 APU with the free drivers.

...

* Polishing free software for non-devs (performing usability studies, finding and submitting bugs, writing/improving/translating documentation and wiki pages, etc.).

I'm up for collaborating on some code. I've been writing an MQTT to web gateway in python for a project. It works but ugly in places.

WRT free software 3D shooters, Alien Arena Reloaded came out a few days ago. http://games.slashdot.org/story/12/07/18/153218/cowboyneal-reviews-alien-are... On Fri, Jun 22, 2012 at 08:40:31PM +1000, Adam Bolte wrote:

Well then, we'll have to see about that. ;)

Awesome. If this is to go ahead, perhaps as a first step we could organise a list of ideas in advance for projects to look at, in case anybody arrives that's short on ideas. Maybe a wiki page?
