SLUG's monthly meeting featuring talks and SLUGlets. Meetings are open
to the general public, and free of charge.

This month's meeting will be at our new venue, the IBM building, Level
13, 601 Pacific Highway, St. Leonards.

As per last month, we ask that people arrive 15 minutes early so we
can all get into the building and start on time.

Directions, photos, and maps will be posted to the website in the coming days.

A committee member will also be standing outside the building to meet,
greet, and provide directions to the venue.

= Talks =

General Talk: Conrad Parker - It's the super fresh and Free! Software!
Conrad's talk is a variant of the "Freedom of Automation" talk he
presented at Software Freedom Day 2006, with some interesting
technical stuff about Linux video applications thrown in.  It will be
Conrads last SLUG meeting for at least 3 years as he's leaving to
study in Japan a few days after the meeting. Sayonara!

Technical Talk: Peter Miller - Compilers and Factories
Peter will be presenting a technique that separates the grammar from
the semantic processing, using simple C++ polymorphism.  The use of
factory methods is described, as well as some unexpected benefits and
simplifications.

SLUGlets topic: FOSS Audio
Do you listen to stuff? Do you make noise? Whether you're a lover of
music, or a hardcore audio developer, SLUGlets is the place to talk
about Audio and FOSS. This is your chance to show off your favourite
app for listening to or making music. People are invited to come up
and talk for 5 minutes, and share the audio love.
