### IMPORTANT ###

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

##############

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 are posted on the SLUG website.

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: Adam Kennedy - Parsing, Analysing and Manipulating
Perl (without Perl)

For over a decade Parse::Perl, a Perl parser written in pure Perl has
long been a glittering, intangible, but impossible dream...

But as it turns out, is was only "mostly" impossible.

In a talk first presented at OSCON 2005, and best described by one
attendee as "incredibly exciting, once your head stops hurting",
discover the new and exciting world of the PPI Perl parser, and find
out all the new toys coming your way.

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.
