At Creative Contingencies we don't just use open source, we are also involved in the local open source community.

Our executive director is leading the team that is organising Linux Australia's linux.conf.au 2008 conference in Mel8ourne, and she's a board member of Open Source Industry Australia.

The CTO maintains a repository of 3rd party and custom-compiled packages, such as Google Earth and SecondLife for Ubuntu Linux, firmware files for Broadcom wireless controllers and iPod video suppport in ffmpeg and gtkpod.

We contribute to documentation by maintaining wiki pages. When we find bugs, we try to send patches back to the software authors, thus increasing software quality for everyone.

We regularly attend our local Linux User Group - Linux Users of Victoria
