Free Software Melbourne
Free Software Dinner
Thur 16 May 2013, Classic Curry, 6-9pm
597 Elizabeth Street, Melbourne, see map.
Informal dinner and discussion has been very popular in the past, especially since some people aren't able to stick around after discussion group meetings. Classic Curry has delicious North Indian food and a wide range of vegetarian and vegan options.
Coming up in 2013
- 20 June: Discussion group
About us
We're a group who meet monthly to discuss free software and related issues. Our aims are to:
- Connect people interested in free software issues
- Share knowledge and experience, eg. understanding free software licensing
- Support and encourage free software advocacy
- Work together on solving issues local to Australia, eg. that software by the Australian Tax Office is proprietary

We're part of LibrePlanet, a network of free software groups all around the world. We share the values of the Free Software Foundation on the GNU Project. We're also part of the fledgling Australian Free Software Association.
We're non-technical and fill a niche that complements more technical GNU/Linux user groups like the Linux Users of Victoria or the Melbourne Linux Users Group.
Join our mailing lists
Join our announcement list (archives) to hear about upcoming meetings and events. Join our discussion list (archives) to hear from and talk to other members of the free software community.
Attend our monthly discussion group
Each month (third Thursday), we meet to discuss one or more free software issues. It is a relaxed "sit around and chat" type event. No prior knowledge is expected.
