Welcome to AussieChix!

AussieChix is the Australian regional chapter of LinuxChix, for women living in Australia, aimed at providing ways for women living in Australia to meet each other, talk about, and get involved in Linux, Free Software and related things.

AussieChix welcomes women interested in Linux or Free Software at any level of experience. If you haven't yet started using Linux, you might also be interested in some information about what it is and where to get it.

Men are also welcome to join AussieChix, as long as they understand that its purpose is "supporting women in Linux".

Please see Joining AussieChix for information about joining AussieChix and coming along to our events.

Beginners are welcome - if you want to know how to set your machine up to develop software on it, or how to configure it for some particular project, we will try and help you figure it out.

As a GGD event, all women are welcome. Men may attend as the guest of a female attendee.
