Hi everyone,<BR>
<BR>
Just thought I'd drop you all an email to let you know of a talk we've got coming up soon.<BR>
<BR>
On Wednesday 30th April we're hosting a talk by Paul Fenwick. Paul is one of the top Linux speakers, and is a regular at linux.conf.au.<BR>
<BR>
Paul is a Perl programming guru, and he's over here running some training and has offered to give a talk to PLUG while he's here. He last spoke at PLUG back in May 2012, and we're really looking forward to having him back.<BR>
<BR>
His talk is titled "<I>Build Your Own Exobrain</I>" and has already been very well received in Tokyo and Montreal. The exobrain project is an open source project designed to allow you to automate your life. While services like <I>"If this then that" </I>already offer similar features, they are not open source and they retain a lot of your personal information - this project tries to address this by allowing you to host and run your own automation services on a machine of your choosing.<BR>
<BR>
Paul has a bio up at <A HREF="http://pjf.id.au/talks/">http://pjf.id.au/talks/</A> if you'd like to see what you're in for.<BR>
<BR>
The exobrain project is hosted on github at <A HREF="https://github.com/pjf/exobrain.">https://github.com/pjf/exobrain.</A><BR>
<BR>
If you need even more incentive to attend, we're putting on some beer and pizza during the talk too.<BR>
<BR>
Looking forward to seeing as many of you as we can.<BR>
<BR>
PS, we'd really appreciate it if you could RSVP at meetup.com (<A HREF="http://www.meetup.com/Perth-Linux-Users-Group-PLUG/events/175784692/)">http://www.meetup.com/Perth-Linux-Users-Group-PLUG/events/175784692/)</A> as this will help with ordering the pizzas, but feel free to turn up anyway if you're not comfortable with this.<BR>
<BR>
Best Regards,<BR>
<BR>
Euan de Kock - President, Perth Linux User Group (PLUG)
