Gracious salutations Perl Mongers of Melbourne!

This is a bit of a form letter... Mea culpa etc.

Software Freedom Day is a public education effort with the aim of
increasing awareness of Free Software and its virtues, and encouraging its
use.

Melbourne's event will be held at The Hub, 80 Harbour Esplanade, Docklands
starting at noon on Saturday 17th of September.

Write this down in your diary!

We would like representatives of the Melbourne Perl Mongers to attend and
bring some friends. This year we're using the day to build The Freedom
Network - a community of free software advocates, programmers, systems
operators, database administrators, hardware specialists, and application
users - dedicated to the principle that free software is
necessary and effective.

We will plan, network, workshop and share ideas on what we're going to do
in the coming year to promote Software Freedom in the coming year. Planned
workshops include advocating free software in developing countries,
building free software communities in Victoria, free software for
beginners, and code sharing. Interested in running a workshop? Let us
know!

Remember! The Hub, 80 Harbour Esplanade, Docklands starting at noon on
Saturday 17th of September.

Best wishes,
