I spent this afternoon making this map of car parking options for next week's OSIA meeting, but couldn't get it to display on the OSIA website. Grrr. So instead - I'm adding the information here, along with the map I did. I've also attached the inkscape SVG.
When: 7pm Thursday 17 April
Where: Innovation@257, Level One, Emirates House, 257 Collins Street, Melbourne
What: Melbourne OSV/OSIA Meeting

Participated in a local summit today at the ANU. Senator Kate Lundy put together a program covering many aspects of not only Open Source technology but also issues around Creative Commons, access to knowledge, and participation.
