Hi SLUG,
Tony Green has had to change his plans for this evening and won't be
coming along to SLUG tonight. So his talk on the upcoming wrkshop will
be replaced with a screening of Revolution OS, a documentary about the
creation of Linux.
Monthly meeting: April
When:
Friday, May 2, 6:30pm - 9:30pm
Note: The April monthly meeting is being held a week late, on Friday
2nd May, as Friday April 18th was Good Friday, and Friday April 25th
was Anzac Day.
Where:
UTS Broadway, Room 2.4.13.
See http://www.slug.org.au/events/uts.html for directions
What:
SLUG's monthly meeting, featuring general talks, special interest
talks and SLUGlets.
Open to the public and free of charge.
This month we'll be scrreening Revolution OS in place of Tony Green's
intended talk. Bruce Badger will give a special interest talk on the
Smalltalk programming language. SLUGlets topic will loosely be 'What
SLUG can do to help newbies', featuring Mick Boda.
This month's meeting will be in room 2.4.13 at UTS, and SLUGlets will
be in nearby room 2.4.29. See the above link for directions and a map

Bruce will be offering an introduction to the Smalltalk programming
language. Smalltalk is a dynamically typed object oriented programming
language designed at Xerox PARC during the 1970s.
SLUGlets
Sluglets are for people new to Linux, or who are looking for
discussion of a milder nature than the techie talk. Feel free to come
share your experiences with Linux, to get help, or to provide it.
This month, SLUGlets will have a discussion on how SLUG can help
newbies.
