G'day again everyone.
Apologies once again for the delay in posting this news. Unfortunately we've had further web site issues.
This month, Henry (Attitude in the forums) is going to demonstrate a typical Linux installation.
Afterwards, we'll touch base on where we're at with Software Freedom Day.
2:00pm
26th July (Last Saturday of the month)
Royal Oak
Launceston
As usual, a few of us will be gathering for a pre-meeting lunch downstairs at 1:00pm for anyone who's interested.
Look forward to seeing everyone who can make it!

Software Freedom Day
G'day all
I've finally find some time to start looking at getting video from the Launceston meetings online. Here's the first part of the June meeting video, which looks at the panorama stitching application Hugin.

Hi all
Apologies for the late announcement.
This month, I'll be doing a little talk that covers some open source image manipulation applications (HDR generation and tonemapping with qtpfsgui, panorama and image stitching with Hugin, and some basic touching up in the GIMP).
Afterwards, we'll have a look into what we can do for Software Freedom Day this year. We have a potential venue lined up and some good ideas to throw around.

Edit: Fixed the date - we aren't having the June meeting in May!
Firstly, many thanks to Pia for taking the time to visit us. As always her talk was informative and enjoyable. Thanks to Josh (not me, the other one) as well for thinking ahead and bringing along his XO (OLPC laptop).
Secondly, the Royal Oak is available to us for the last Saturday of every month at 2:00pm.
Also, there was a little confusion about which door we were meant to be entering by. The second Brisbane St door from the intersection is the one we're after (it has a flight of stairs at the far end of the hallway), and the room we're using is the second door on the right.
Our next meeting will be on the 28th of June (hopefully we won't be competing with the footy that weekend). I'll put up a notice with a rough agenda soon and pop some notes from yesterday's meeting on the forum.
Additional thanks to everybody who showed up!
