Team "Free Software Melbourne" at PyCon Australia
Hi Folks, You'll be please to know that our Sydney correspondent Matt Giuca joined Ben Finney, Ben's friend Pete and I in the Australian Python conference's "codewars" programming event on Friday night. Our team, named "Free Software Melbourne", beat off around a dozen other teams (including many with freedom hating Macbooks hehe) to come runners up in the event. We almost took it out, but faltered in the final "creative" round. It was great to see several other Free Software Melbourners there too! Regards, Ben

Congratulations to all of you. Nice job! I wonder if there are other competitions people in our free software group would be interested competing in? Cheers, Adam

There's the global game jam at the end of January. It's ridiculously good fun! You'd want to be familiar with your tools beforehand, e.g. a programmer should know a game engine. But each team will have several roles to fill. Artists and musicians are needed too! Alex
