good effort, full kudos for this Greig Maybe as the election draws closer we could host a meeting on IT issues in the Waikato Area, and invite IT reps from the main parties. Everyone else has them, so why not us ? ........... but there is plenty of time and we will enjoy these first. Greig McGill wrote:
Hi WLUG, and other interested parties.
In an effort to step outside our little box, and to encourage members of the WLUG to consider the political aspects of Open Source, I have asked Rodney Hide to come and speak to us.
It'll be the least "geeky" meeting we are likely to have until Nandor Tanczos joins us sometime next year (yes, really - I like to hear both sides of an argument - how about you?) so you are welcome to bring people who may have been scared away by the more technical meetings.
This is a great opportunity to get Linux and Open Source software in general into the list of campaign issues for the upcoming elections, so please, come along and show Mr. Hide that Linux and OSS matters to many people.
