If there is interest, he may also discuss user-created content and game development on Linux. Andrew first discovered an interest in boolean logic when his mother carried him in her arms at just the right height to reach light switches as they passed through doorways. He was lucky enough to go to a school with an obsolete PDP/8e: switches, lights, core memory, paper tape, punched cards and all. He first started programming on a TRS-80 model 1 level I and the first computer he owned was a Commodore VIC-20. He has run the gaming Miniconference at linux.conf.au in the past and enjoys playing computer games on Linux systems. He is the current president of Linux Users of Victoria. There will also be the usual casual hands-on workshop, Linux installation, configuration and assistance and advice. Bring your laptop if you need help with a particular issue. The meeting will be held at Infoxchange, 33 Elizabeth St. Richmond 3121 <https://maps.google.com/maps?ll=-37.810879,144.992834&z=16&t=m&hl=en-US&gl=…> (enter via the garage on Jonas St.) Late arrivals, please call *(0490) 049 589* for access to the venue.
