Anyone here from #perth keen to hold a talk on Open Source subjects for the Perth Linux Users Group?

I'm particularly keen on any subjects that speak for the positive social impacts that pivoting to Open Source can have, but am happy for just about any subject at all.

Let me know and I can get it organised when and where you like.

Walking around Perth CBD. They're even bigger fans of whipped cream here than in Melbourne!

I have now done the thing. I have rung my aged mother in #Perth and updated her on today’s adventures, as is the expected thing. :)
A roofline with real character at one of our favourite Scottish castles, Elcho Castle, close to the River Tay a few miles south-east of Perth. The castle is believed to date back to about 1570 and was built by the Wemyss family. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/perth/elchocastle/index.html

If anyone in #Perth needs a pair of Nick and Nora glasses for their cocktails or mocktails, then David Jones in central Perth is selling Orrefors glass sets for 50% off ... $25. Which is a very good price for this size glass.

“A 15,000 sq metre #DataCentre near Perth will no longer go ahead after the developer withdrew plans amid community opposition over its impact on culturally significant sites. The three-storey, 120-megawatt #GreenSquare datacentre in the town of #Hazelmere had been intended to power #CloudComputing and the acceleration of #ArtificialIntelligence, but faced fierce community backlash.

A City of #Swan council review of the proposed development, which was to be located 15km east of #Perth, attracted almost 1,900 public submissions. The #council last week released its responsible authority report into the datacentre, in which council staff recommended rejecting the proposal.

In the event of a power outage, the noise of the #DieselGenerators needed to keep the centre in operation would exceed allowable daytime and night-time levels, the council found. A nearby #school and local #residents would have faced the noise had the generators been in operation.”
