Hi all, There is a fantastic looking event coming up in Moreland on Thursday the 2nd of November at 8pm: http://www.moreland.vic.gov.au/libraries/library-events-and-activities/readmore-project/-Margaret-Gordon-discusses-open-source-and-collaborative-platforms-/ ... Margaret Gordon was the reporter who visited us during our August meetup, and she is presenting some of the work she has been doing with the Linux Foundation, Wikipedia and VLC. Looks to be a fantastic presentation.
Even more exciting we may get the opportunity to do a short presentation or lead a discussion group... get in touch if you can make the event and want to get involved and we'll keep you updated with developments (including a sneak preview of the videos being presented... Exciting!). For anyone interested in the D# universal language Elmer presented last meetup there is a slack channel here: http://dsharpul.slack.com/ twitter channel: @dsharpul https://twitter.com/dsharpul or get in touch at elmer.bool@ei8.works to discuss the project further. We also mentioned the open letter for Publicly funded software has to be Free and Open Source Software: https://publiccode.eu//openletter/ ... can we get a show of support for Free Software Melbourne to sign it as an organization??? I for one think that we should sign the letter and republish on our website/blog too! :D Finally if anyone is interested in participating in a presentation at Melbourne Knowledge Week next year I've started an etherpad to sketch out ideas here: https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/fsm-mkw-2018 with the working title "The Importance of Software Licensing"... put your name down as a presenter if you're interested in getting involved. ~~ Ben _______________________________________________ Free-software-melb mailing list Free-software-melb@lists.softwarefreedom.com.au https://lists.softwarefreedom.com.au/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/free-software-melb Free Software Melbourne home page: http://www.freesoftware.asn.au/melb/
