While we are not directly affiliated with the Free Software Foundation in the US, it is very obvious how much we are infulenced by their work.
Our last games night was so successful that we thought, “why not do it again!?” And that is what we are doing. All things Libre and games, this time we will be able to show off some new games while we are at it rather than just being sucked into a multiplayer matches of Free Doom or Hedgewars. That said it that happens again, it is fun regardless. ;)
So come along, join in and bring a friend to show what can be done when games are free for all to use and share. Bring a laptop or use one of the ones provided.
Afterwards will be the usual with dinner in North Melbourne were we can chat about anything and everything Free and Open Source.
Event is on 21st June at Electron Workshop - 31 Arden Street. Doors open at 6pm with the event starting at 6:30pm. This is a non technical event and all are welcome.

Melbourne Meetup - 17th May 2018 - Contribute to Wikipedia
Hey Free/Libre and Open Source Supporters,
This month we will be joined by a representitive of the Flux party to discuss the state of issue-based direct democracy in Australia.
The Flux Party is a tool Australians can use to directly participate in parliament. Flux is a party during the election but once there are elected Flux Party MP’s and senators that’s where the difference begins. Your Flux representatives give up their autonomy and vote according to the people. They cast their votes in line with the outcomes produced by the Flux ecosystem comprised of ordinary Aussies like you.
You can checkout the flux website or join the party (it's free as in $0) here: https://voteflux.org
After the discussion we will have our regular Gnews segment and then head down to Errol street for dinner and Free/Libre and Open Source Small-talk.
Hope to see you at 6:30pm on Thursday the 19th of April at Electron Workshop for our regular Free Software Melbourne meet-up.
