Launching Geek Girl Dinners Melbourne

May 18, 2008

Not strictly Open Source, but I’m hoping that we’ll get lots of support and interest from the Open Source community. :)

Anne-Marie and I would like to invite each and every Melbourne geek woman to join us for the first Melbourne Geek Girl Dinner on Thursday, 29 May.
We’ll be meeting at 6.30pm for a 7pm start. Dinner is at 100 Mile Cafe, Level 3, Melbourne Central, 211 La Trobe Street.
This is the first dinner for the Melbourne Group, so we’re calling it 0.1 - a planning dinner. The usual format will be an informal dinner with a technical talk by one of the members or guests. The first dinner won’t have a speaker, we’ll be brainstorming and planning what we’d like to do with the Melbourne group - and most importantly creating a list of the technical women who are based in Melbourne who we’d like to invite to speak at future dinners.
If you’d like to attend, please RSVP to sarah.stokely AT gmail.com by Thursday 22 May. Feel free to contact me with any question you might have too.
Oh and by the way - guys who are interested in coming along are welcome to do so if they have a female geek to escort them. :)
The group’s blog is here, and if you’re on Facebook, join the group! :)

Welcome!

January 23, 2008

Thanks for visiting The Open Source Report, a news and blog site devoted to the technology, trends and community behind open source. We launched our site at this year’s Linux.conf.au, Australia’s leading open source conference. It was a great (albeit frantic!) week in Melbourne - and we got to break several news stories including the news that the One Laptop Per Child initiative is coming to Australia, and the news that Google is launching a southern hemisphere Summer of Code which will fit in with Australian uni summer holidays.

Please add our RSS feed to your reader to get updates as they happen, or subscribe for email updates in the box up to the right of the page. Or just be old fashioned and bookmark this site. We hope you enjoy our coverage of the open source tech community, and please contact us if you have any questions or suggestions.
