Subject: [HUMBUG] Next Meeting - 20th December 2003
The Home Unix Machine Brisbane Users Group exists to get fellow
Unix users in contact with each other, to introduce people to
Unix and Unix-like operating systems, and to help users in
operating those systems. Everyone is welcome to attend.
Meetings tend to be informal. We socialize, discuss Unix and
computing, solve Unix problems for new and experienced users
alike and, these days, have regular talks.
Date: Saturday, 20th December 2003 (every second Saturday)
Time: From 3pm with the network up 30 minutes after we are
granted entry. The network will be brought down after
midnight to allow time to clean up for a 1am exit.
Venue: Room S201, Hawken Engineering Building (no. 50)
The University of Queensland, St Lucia Campus
Car parking is currently unregulated on Saturdays. The
University is serviced by public transport with frequent
buses during University terms. For more information:

Cost: Membership until our AGM in September is $20, but no one
has to join unless they are going to use club services
such as our network access during meetings.
Talks: Information on upcoming talks is announced separately.
For information on talks see the announcements by our
Talks Maintainer on the announce mailing list.
Food: The eating places (ranging from take away to a la Carte)
at 'The Ville' are usually open until about 10pm Saturday
night. There is also the Pizza Cafe on campus near the
Schonell Theater:

Frederick Noronha scribbled: Linus ordered to drop Torvalds name:
well, then the next step, now that MS owns "windows" and all
related names, is that homes can no longer be built with "windows"
and doors, and we can't have an X-11-Windowing system, and those
things on your screen on a Macintosh can't be called windows...
even though Gates stole the idea from the Apple Lisa.
Has anyone noticed we're losing our language itself?
You can't "go with the flow" without paying royalties to Drano.
You can't "just do it" without paying royalties to Nike.
I don't do winDOwS, so I don't have to pay royalties to Micro$oft.
... and now that it's possible to TradeMark numbers, we'll no longer
be able to calculate without paying royalties. The world has been
taken over by evil soulless demons... they're called corporations.
So, we all know there's only one way to stop the evil empire...
(the voice of Obe-Wan Kanobe:)
"Use the SOURCE, Luke!" ... the OPEN Source!
