In any case, it underscores the importance of projects that don't mandate copyright reassignment. As Fedora, RHEL, Arch, Slackware and others now use MariaDB by default (with Debian bug #565308 already discussing it for Jessie, and it already having been included in openSUSE as an option for a while), it seems only a matter of time until most people will make the switch. -Adam _______________________________________________ Free-software-melb mailing list Free-software-melb-5NWGOfrQmnef3mDWrIFmjNXe91keqcEG9Agrzh8yinA&lt; at &gt;public.gmane.org http://lists.softwarefreedom.com.au/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/free-software-melb Free Software Melbourne home page: http://www.freesoftware.asn.au/melb/</pre> Adam Bolte 2013-06-20T06:48:58 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.foss.melbourne/897 <pre> Is anyone meeting for dinner before the meeting? </pre> Russell Coker 2013-06-20T06:32:00 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.foss.melbourne/896 <pre> Nope, not come across that, phew!

As someone who's enjoyed event over the past few years, I'd really like to thank Lev, the current committee and the previous committees of LUV for their leadership and hard work organising recent Software Freedom Days. Many of us have played a role in organising, but without people like Lev stepping up to organise a venue, talks, food and publicity, Software Freedom Day simply wouldn't happen. Big thankyou! I'd love for Free Software Melbourne to take on a larger role in organising the event this year. We'll certainly discuss this amongst the group and be working closely with LUV committee.

LUV has done it a few years in succession now, but it's really something that should be in the domain of Melbourne FS.

Disappointing? Yes. Surprising? Well... * The US Government is under intense pressure, after it was revealed that the National Security Agency has been monitoring worldwide online communications: * The program, known as PRISM, taps into the servers of Google, Apple and Facebook among others. * The NSA whistleblower, Edward Snowden, has fled to Hong Kong, and doesn't expect to see his family again. Some see him as a hero. Others don't. * Australian Foreign Minister Bob Carr believes that this is nothing to worry about, while Malcolm Turnbull and Scott Ludlam have voiced concerns. * In t</pre> Ben Finney 2013-06-13T12:42:41 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.foss.melbourne/886 <pre>Howdy all, The audio download for the 2013-05-29 show of the Melbourne 3RRR radio show Byte Into It has finally gone online. We discussed some topics relevant to software freedom, including: * The Australian Government Information Management Office has decided to standardise its office documents to the Open Document format. * Interesting developments in the world of software patenting: * The New Zealand government has declared that a computer program is not an invention, and is not patentable. * The US state of Vermont is legislating against software "patent trolls". * The German parliament has resolved that patents on software restricted developers' rights, and that software is best covered by copyrights rather than patents. * Dominic Spill joins the team to discuss his work in open network security, and his projects Ubertooth and Daisho.
