== Update == Sorry everyone, we had a slight scheduling mixup in our last announcement. Our General Talk will be given by Jeff Waugh, with Mary Gardiner speaking next month. Apologies for any confusion this may have caused.
== Call for Speakers == We need a speaker for our In Depth slot on 28 November. Please let the Committee ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) know if you can help out. We especially welcome those who are speaking at OSDC or linux.conf.au and would like to practice with a smaller (and perhaps more friendly) crowd. == October SLUG Monthly Meeting == You can read the full version of this announcement on the Web at http://www.slug.org.au/node/107 When: 18.30 - 20.30, Friday, 31 October, 2008 We start at 18:30 but we ask that people arrive 15 minutes early so we can all get into the building and start on time.
