Yep
They moved to a new building last week and had an official opening two
days ago (Tuesday) along with Innovative WA. Lots of free food and beer.
It is sponsored by the Department of Industry and Resources.

They have several computers there, all running different versions of
Linux. Along with Asterisk on Cisco phones and a Sunray or two with Java
Desktop. If your a small business or a Open-source developer or similar
you can approach these guys (Kevin or Phil) to use their computers. They
also have rooms where you can have seminars and the like. Recently AUUG
and SLPWA held a conference there. They are very approachable guys and
live for Open-Source.

Kind Regards
