We have had a bit of a hiatus but I think we should get things going again.  
Yifei has expressed interest in giving a talk but I'm not sure he will be 
ready by the start of next month.

One thing we have discussed is having a meeting about PC hardware.  There have 
been some interesting developments in that regard in recent times, I could 
give a talk about some of the new stuff, some things I've learned while 
working in corporate IT, and some interesting research I've been reading and 
the disturbing conclusion it led me to.  These are quite different topics so 
this won't be a formal lecture, more of me giving brief talks about the topics 
in question and then opening it for informal discussion where input from all 
members is welcome.

Who's interested in a meeting about PC hardware on the 1st of April?

Who's interested in doing serious development of free software phones?

I've decided that my Huawei Nova9 without Google Play is a bit crap overall 
and trying to get an open Android build installed on it is too much pain.  The 
Librem5 (which I bought at great expense) doesn't have the battery life needed 
so I'm thinking of making a PinePhone a development platform that I can use 
daily (like running Debian/Testing on my laptop).

"Phone takes a long time to wake up when receiving a call", well I guess 
people will just have to SMS or IM me! ;)

April event, PC hardware, a mini lecture about lessons learned from corporate 
IT work and a general discussion about where hardware is at. Also lots of 
general random discussion about free software stuff.

Meeting will be at http://b.coker.com.au. No need to register just click on 
the link on the day.

Meeting officially opens at 1PM Melbourne time (02:00UTC).

We had a hiatus for a while, and maybe April 1st isn't the best day to resume, 
but I think it's better to be sooner than later.
