Hi all, Thanks for a great evening last Thursday. We had a good turnout, with 15 people coming along despite the heat. In addition to those from FSM, four members of the Pirate Party joined in, and it was good to talk about how our interests overlap. We collected a whopping $290 from the attendees. All up the food cost just over $150, leaving $140 for the nominated charity. So tonight I donated 150USD* on behalf of the group to the Free Software Foundation's End Software Patents Coalition Fund[1]. Thanks, everyone, for contributing! As an aside, I asked for the donation to be made public, but I can't see where the FSF lists donations. Does anyone know? I guess it might not come through for a day or two, anyway. See you next month, Alex [1] https://my.fsf.org/donate/directed-donations/esp * ~141.95AUD

Definitely, it was great to have some spicy conversation along with our spicy suasages :-) Thanks to everyone who helped organise the evening! Looking forward to some more FSM social events this year. -- \ “The fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic is no more | `\ to the point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a | _o__) sober one.” —George Bernard Shaw | Ben Finney
