Gzip decompressed to a certain point, but the end of the file was ignored.

Be there!! What is a BarCamp? A BarCamp is an ad-hoc gathering born from the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment. It is an intense event with discussions, demos, and interaction from participants. Here is a quote from the wikipedia description: 'BarCamp is an international network of unconferences — open, participatory workshop-events, whose content is provided by participants — focusing on early-stage web applications, and related open source technologies and social protocols.' BarCampSydney is a gathering of creative tech brains for learning, sharing and collaboration. For the Sydney BarCamp we're making topics open to those beyond technology to include entertainment, art, marketing, other technologies and content such as podcasts and so on. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
