I've just booked innovation@257 Collins Street for Melbourne's Open Source Victoria / Open Source Industry Australia bi-monthly meetings.

The dates are mostly set for the 3rd Thursday of even numbered months, except for Feb, which is set for the 26th which is the last Thursday of the month. It is different to fit the schedule of our first speaker - Jacinta Richardson, and to give an extra week to get the word out.

I just spent the past three days helping out on the Linux Australia stand in the expo at the Annual VITTA conference. We revised a 3-fold brochure called 'Software for Learning' for the event which might be handy for others. This was originally put together for Software Freedom Day in 2006. Since then it has been through a few revisions with input from a number of people.

Earlier this year there was a thread on the Linux Australia mailing list called 'technology alphabet'. It prompted me to have a go at creating an alphabet of Free and Open Source Software.
