Free Software Melbourne - Meetup 16th June 2016 - DRM and you

Free Software Melbourne - Meetup 16th June 2016

What’s that sound? That’s the next free software meeting coming down the tracks. If you are watching Netflix, grabbing the latest audio book from Audible or just streaming the next big smash flop on Pandora… DON'T DO THAT! If you do then you are deep into the realm of DRM (Digital Restrictions Management), something that our main guest this month knows a few things about.

Meet Adam Turner, Free lance journalist, our main speaker and all round good guy (I can safely presume); as he chats to us about how DRM affects our lives. Having been a writer for close to two decade for the likes of The Age and the Sydney Morning Herald plus almost every local technology publication online you could care to mention AND having a weekly podcast discussing all facets of modern technology. One gets the feeling he might know a thing or two about these issues and it will be a fascination talk and discussion. For more information check out his website www.adamturner.com.au

As is the standard there will be the monthly Gnews sure to get people chatting so please, do get involved. We want to hear your voice. Bring a friend if you want as everyone is welcome.

Come join our community on Thursday 16th June at the Electron Workshop; 31 Arden Street, North Melbourne.

Doors open at 6pm with the talks going from 6:30pm til 8pm then dinner around the corner.  Tea and Coffee will be provided gratis with other drinks available for purchase.
See you all there!
