I spent this afternoon making this map of car parking options for next week's OSIA meeting, but couldn't get it to display on the OSIA website. Grrr.  So instead - I'm adding the information here, along with the map I did. I've also attached the inkscape SVG.

When: 7pm Thursday 17 April
Where: Innovation@257, Level One, Emirates House, 257 Collins Street, Melbourne
What: Melbourne OSV/OSIA Meeting

What I've long suspected turns out to be true; you can spend less money on hardware as well when using open source software. Double the savings! Don't believe me? The IT manager at Westall Secondary College (where I occasionally help out) has said just that in an article called "Ubuntu breathes new life into school's abandoned hardware".

Because we get a plug, I suppose I should explain a bit about the work I've done at the school :-)

Participated in a local summit today at the ANU. Senator Kate Lundy put together a program covering many aspects of not only Open Source technology but also issues around Creative Commons, access to knowledge, and participation.
