Free Software Melbourne Gaming Event - Thur 21st Nov
Greetings all, As you may be aware, we have a very special Free Software Melbourne meet-up scheduled for Thursday night. It's time to get your game face on! :) We're going to be playing a variety of free software games, including old favourites such as OpenArena, Teeworlds and even Super Tux Kart. Additionally, we'll be putting the projector to good use and taking Alex's new Cargo game for a spin. I assure you, it's quite entertaining. So if you have a laptop or netbook, make sure to bring it (and perhaps your mouse and power adapter too). If you have a USB game-pad you'd like to try any of the games with, make sure you bring that along as well. Even PS2 and Xbox game-pads can generally work quite easily (so long as you have a USB adapter). Dinner sponsorship is yet to be confirmed, however we are planning to order pizzas. If you're interested and have any special dietary requirements, please let Alex know in advance to make sure we have you covered. If you don't already have the games, installer files or packages will be provided on the night (as well as the source code, naturally)! The meet-up will be held at our usual VPAC time and location: Date: Thursday 21st November Time: 6-9pm Location: VPAC Head Office Training Room Level 1, Building 91, 110 Victoria Street However if you can't make the location, fear not! This time we're prepared to try hosting external dedicated servers for the night so people that live too far away can still join in the fun. If this sounds like something you want to see, please post to the free-software-melb list to express interest. For everyone else, see you Thursday! Cheers, Adam

If travelling by train, be warned that Melbourne Central station has been closed all day, with no word yet on when it is going to reopen. If it is still closed, suggest you walk from Parliament station or catch a tram from Flinders Street station. Check Metro Trains and/or PTV websites for updates. -- Brian May <brian@microcomaustralia.com.au>

Thanks for pointing this out. According to Metro, it is currently open again: http://www.metrotrains.com.au/ But I heard a rumour that it is only open for peak hour, whatever that means. Apparently they still haven't found the water leak, and they have only been able to reopen the station because the shop owners above have agreed to close for a while. Cheers, Alex
