Hi Scott, Welcome to the list, and to Geelong - and great to hear from another Linux and opensource user. The people on this list (there's about a dozen last time I checked) - are keen *nix users and are also into things like open hardware, networking, webdev and sysadmin type stuff. Rather than single people out, I'd like to invite people on the list to introduce themselves :-) We haven't organised any specific Linux or opensource meets in Geelong (yet), but there's a key group of people that meet on some Friday nights for more open hardware type discussions at Geelong Amateur Radio Club - join the Google Group https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!aboutgroup/geelong-hackerspace for more information. If there's sufficient interest in having a bit more of a get together, I'm happy to organise this (I'm back in Australia mid-November). Again, a very warm welcome, and please feel free to ask any questions you might have about *nix stuff here.
