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.

@codemonkeymike what I would do is find a power supply that has the same volts and amps with a generic barrel jack and plug a cheap little adaptor. Mostly useful if it's a device with a common requirement like 12v/2A but worth looking into of you are strapped for cash

This is why I joined the Perth Linux Users Group.

To see so many people from different tech backgrounds coming together and listening to Ben describe the history of FOSS was simply wonderful!

Through his personal experience working in Perth's IT Sector, Ben learned some lessons about when to use FOSS, and how to sell companies on FOSS.

Our next event will be about the history of Gaming on Linux. check our website:

@privateger from the book: you deserve a tech union "According to Franklin, this is to be expected. Specifically, she argues that when every technology—every technology—is first introduced to a society, it’s always heralded with enthusiasm, and with grand promises. But in effect, all that advocacy simply lays the groundwork for greater adoption. And as that technology continues to become more popular, it’s no longer a novelty—instead, it becomes expected. A necessity."

@skribe make sure the old windows 10 PC are not encrypted. You forget the password after so many years and it's unrecoverable
