There are meetups for hacking open-data type projects held in the CBD. They are quite ok and hacking any open software is acceptable (some people edit Wikipedia and I have done some Debian development there). But they aren't specific to Linux and similar development. I have access to a very comfortable office in the CBD with free tea, coffee, hot chocolate, and wifi and I can invite friends for meetings. I can't issue an open invitation, but probably everyone who would be interested in attending such meetings is a friend anyway. ;) Who would be interested in attending such a meeting to work on Debian and similar projects? People who want to test software, file bug reports, work on documentation, etc are welcome. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/
