General Talk: Linux Australia Update - Live!
This month will feature a live radio broadcast from SLUG and the
production of the LA Update podcast live at SLUG! Expect more details on
segments later this week.
Special Interest Talk: Erik de Castro Lopo - Careers for Geeks
Geeks are often overworked, underpaid and under appreciated in the
workplace.
In this talk I will explore various avenues Geeks can use to get this
turned around so they can work sensible hours, get paid for what they
are worth, get the appreciation they deserve and get more satisfaction
in their careers.
As usual, SLUGlets will be running in another room during the 2nd half
of the meeting for those who do not wish to attend the 2nd talk.
