Hello all,<br>
<br>
Somewhat belatedly on my behalf[1], I am able to follow-up and thank
Dr Andrew Williams for his presentation on Python in Radio
Astronomy, and SpaceCubed for hosting PLUG last Tuesday. If you
missed it, then don't miss out - see here:<br>

<br>
We had around 20 people present, so thanks to everyone who made it;
there were some very welcome fresh faces too! We have had many
people express how much they enjoyed the presentation.<br>
<br>
PLUG has been publishing our back catalogue of videos into YouTube,
and we're getting a steady stream of people watching:<br>

Our thanks also to PLUG VP Euan de Kock for organising the latest
round of PLUG T-Shirts - the list of talks for 2011 - 2012. These
ended up being $25 each for those that put their hand up for one.<br>
<br>
<br>
We also managed to finally give one of the Raspberry Pis to this
years Quiz night winners back in March - James Henstridge. While
we're still waiting for one last one to be shipped to us, we're
slowly getting there. Well done again James.<br>
<br>
<br>
In other news, our UserConf group have submitted a bid for
Linux.conf.au 2014 to the Linux Australia council. We'll find out in
a few weeks if that's selected. Much more immediately is the opening
of registrations for Linux.conf.au 2013 in Canberra - with Early
Bird tickets 97% sold out at this time.<br>
<br>
<br>
Back on Wednesday 3rd of October the Meta-meetup of most Perth tech
groups happened again at SpaceCubed - the State Library presented
about Legal Deposit and the impact on digital publishing. This
Meta-meetup is on again on the 1st Wednesday of next month - 7th
November. As always, admission is free, and there's normally around
40- 80 people to chat to.<br>
