Date: 24 August 2010 15:33<br>Subject: [SAGE-AU] Richard Stallman Speaking at RMIT<br>To: <a href="mailto:sage-au@sage-au.org.au" target="_blank">sage-au@sage-au.org.au</a><br><br><br>On 16 September 2010, from 12:30 to 2:30, Richard Stallman<br>
from the Free[1] Software Foundation will be speaking at<br>
Storey Hall on Swanston Street, Melbourne.<br>
<br>
The talk is free, and the IEEE-CS and SAGE-AU are getting<br>
together to shout pizza and drinks afterwards.<br>
<br>
(NOTE- for shouting the refreshments, SAGE-AU will have a<br>
table with one of the banners from the conference and membership<br>
information -- particularly student membership information)<br>
<br>
You can help me a lot by letting me know the names of organisations<br>
in Melbourne who might be interested in this. I will then contact<br>
the organisations to promote the event.<br>
<br>
I'm already planning to contact:<br>
<br>
Melbourne PC Users' Group ,and especially the convenors of<br>
special interest groups that seem to have an affinity with free<br>
software.<br>
<br>
The OpenSolaris Users' Group.<br>
<br>
I think that there is a Linux group in Melbourne, but I'm not<br>
sure of the name.<br>
<br>
Is the AUUG still around in Melbourne?<br>
<br>
Is there anyone who I've missed out?<br>
<br>

[1] Free as in speech, not beer<br>
