You are invited to the 2600 Australia Seminar Series, to be
held in Sydney on Saturday, 5th May (the Saturday after the 2600
meeting). Sessions begin at 1pm and run till approximately 5pm. Entry is
$10, payable at the door.
Speakers this month include:
----------------------------
* Satyricon, "SCO Openserver and DataFlex"
* Technion, "Linux and migration to the 2.4 kernel, with all new
bells and whistles"
* Shaun, "Up close and personal with GDB"
Also: Hands-on session after the seminars with Mac OS X (10.0.1, Updated
from last month).
Location:
---------
University of Technology, "Building 6" on Harris Street (near Central
Station), room 6.4.17 (Building 6, Level 4, Room 17). Open from Midday
onwards, seminars begin at 1pm. $10 entry fee, bookings for < 5 people
not required.
(You may like to refer to the map at the following URL. The location of
Building 6 is approximately a few millimetres to the right of the letter
"S" in "UTS" on the map. You might simply like to turn right onto Harris
Street from Broadway (walking) and look for the signs:

)
Additional Notes:
-----------------
* Although the number of people that attend strongly dictates whether we
can cover our costs for the room, we have a number of interstate and
local speakers planned for future months, so a strong showing is critical
at this one. Guest speakers from Melbourne, Canberra and Brisbane will be
flown in on Impulse Airlines, billeted out on the Friday night after the
Sydney 2600 meeting. In short, we don't think $10 is an unreasonable
charge if this is what we can organise for the May and June sessions
(they're already pretty much planned). Capacity for the room we have
booked at the present time is 70 people. Larger rooms go up to 95 people
but cost quite a bit more.
* Multimedia materials from April, 2001 are available at:
http://www.2600.org.au/seminars/archive.html
* Broadly, the seminars will always be in three parts: an introductory
session, an intermediate session (may include hardware pull-apart,
demonstration) and an advanced session.
