We will be featuring talks with both the Waughs, with Jeff talking about
his recent "Badger, Badger, Badger" Tour, and Pia bringing us up to date
on what is happening with Linux Australia. We have also managed to rope
Matt Palmer in to talk about Debian, and we have a competition to
announce!

Not only that but we will also interacting with you, dear listener,
through the miracle of IRC. Come along to the #slug channel on
irc.freenode.net and join in the merriment as we go live!

Special Interest Talk: Erik de Castro Lopo - Careers for Geeks

Geeks are often overworked, underpaid and under appreciated in the
workplace.

In this talk Erik will explore various avenues Geeks can use to get this
turned around so they can work sensible hours, get paid for what they
are worth, get the appreciation they deserve and get more satisfaction
in their careers.
