Dear all,<br>
<br>
An early reminder that next week's PLUG meeting on Tuesday 9th
August is at the <i>University Computer Club</i> at UWA
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.ucc.gu.uwa.edu.au/">http://www.ucc.gu.uwa.edu.au/</a>). Our presenter this month is <i>Mason
Larobina</i>, the author of <i>LUAkit</i>, the micro browser.
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://luakit.org/">http://luakit.org/</a>) - as it says on the site:<br>
<blockquote>
<p><font color="#cc0000">Luakit is a highly configurable,
micro-browser framework based on the <a
href="http://webkit.org/" class="external">WebKit</a> web
content engine and the <a href="http://www.gtk.org/"
class="external">GTK+</a> toolkit. It is very fast,
extensible by <a href="http://lua.org" class="external">Lua</a>
and licensed under the GNU GPLv3 license.</font></p>
<p><font color="#cc0000">It is primarily targeted at power users,
developers and any people with too much time on their hands
who want to have fine-grained control over their web browsers
behaviour and interface.</font></p>
</blockquote>
<br>
<br>
We'll be starting at <b>6:30pm AWST (+0800)</b> - free parking at
UWA starts from 5pm in Red (staff) and Yellow (student) zones. Feel
free to turn up early; we'll be attempting to stream this video live
to those unable to attend in person at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://icecast.plug.org.au:8000/">http://icecast.plug.org.au:8000/</a> (and will take questions via IRC);
recordings may be posted afterwards.<br>
<br>
I'm also after anyone who wants to give a lightning talk of up to 5
minutes; you don't need any slides, just something to talk about;
please let the PLUG Committee know if you have something to say!<br>
<br>
The UCC at UWA is located above the UWA Tavern. Start by locating
the Tavern just off Hackett Drive, then proceed clockwise around the
Tavern fence until you come to a set of double doors and a staircase
leading up. Unfortunately there is no disability access to this
venue due to the stairs (and lack of lift). Thanks to Nick B and
Daniel H we may have a pretty flashy sign up outside as well to
guide you in! :)<br>
<br>
See <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.ucc.asn.au/aboutucc/contact.ucc">http://www.ucc.asn.au/aboutucc/contact.ucc</a> for details of
finding the venue. Alternatively, here is a map:<br>

<br>
Some early details on future presentations; next month we're likely
to be having a presentation on clustered file systems, and in
October we have <b>Rusty Russell</b> here in Perth for a talk, and
possibly a panel discussion/debate/arm-wrestle session - tickets
required to cover costs. See the PLUG calendar on
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.plug.org.au/">http://www.plug.org.au/</a>.<br>
