Hi everyone, Unfortunately, Shayne Flint has had to pull out of speaking this month. In his stead, we have Marghanita da Cruz, with her talk "Video Capture and Editing in Linux using Kino".
Below is an amended announcement.

SLUG has moved to a new venue! We are now in Darling Harbour, near public
transport and many other amenities.
When:
18.30 - 20.30, Friday, 31 August, 2007
Where:
Atlassian, 173-185 Sussex Street, Sydney
