Subject: Australian Open Source Symposium Jun 16
Date:	 Wed, 6 Jun 2001 17:09:41 +1000

The Australian Unix Users Group would like to announce the third
Australian Open Source Symposium (AOSS 3), to be held at the ANU in
Canberra on Saturday, 16 June 2001. The purpose of this event is to
bring together the Australian Open Source community on an annual
basis.

AOSS is run by developers, for developers, but other members of the
IT community are welcome and will benefit from the ``hands-on''
atmosphere. Our goals are to promote the sharing of information and
experience, to give the community a place to interact, and to nurture
and harness synergies between Open Source projects.

The programme includes:

    ``Why we chose Linux for electronic elections'',
        -- ACT Government speaker TBA.

    Through the looking glass: open source, Microsoft, Sun and public
    perceptions. --  Robert Hart, RedHat
