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

Meeting will cover many aspects of PC/Laptop hardware. How systems work, how 
to get them cheaply, how to fix/upgrade them, etc.

Meeting officially opens at 1PM Melbourne time (03:00UTC) on Saturday 3rd Sep, 
but prior to that we have a 1 hour planning meeting which starts at 02:00UTC. 
Everyone is welcome to the planning meeting, if you have ideas on how to make 
Flounder better then please share them!

Also starting with this event we will add a new rule for debating.  For any 
contentious issue that you want to advocate you must write a blog post about 
it.  No spending hours discussing things that we won't get an agreement on, 
have the people who advocate various positions blog it publicly and the world 
can learn from them.  Anything that's not worth writing a blog post about 
isn't worth spending much time arguing about.

If someone has political opinions that they don't want to share with the whole 
world then there's many ways of doing so that don't involve Flounder.  If we 
were to do anything about countries such as Russia suppressing free speech 
then we could do so by having a meeting about running Tor servers etc.  Not by 
having political debates at the meeting.

Here's the URL for Planet Linux Australia, if you start a blog then let me 
know and I'll add it to that feed.  It's not strictly Linux, any blog that has 
a large portion of posts about free software is acceptable.

Dreamwidth is a free blog hosting platform that is well regarded, there are 
many others.  We can have a meeting about running your own Wordpress site in 
future if there's interest.
