Hi Folks, Just a reminder that our monthly free software discussion group is on next Thursday 16 December, 6:30pm at the State Library of Victoria. Meet in the foyer a little before 6:30pm.
For those that haven't been before, we essentially get together and chat about a few (ideally pre-arranged) topics around free software. It's mostly non-technical and no experience is required. Proposed discussion topics: 1. Alex Fraser's summary of the New Zealand campaign against software patents from his meeting with Don Christie. 2. How does the ACTA agreement (Anti Counterfeiting Trade Agreement) affects use of free software? My (Ben's) understanding is that it may prohibit defeating any "digital handcuffs" even for legitimate use - eg. playing a DVD you own. Look forward to seeing you there, Ben _______________________________________________ Free-software-melb mailing list [email protected] http://lists.softwarefreedom.com.au/mailman/listinfo/free-software-melb
