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.

Australia/Canberra

Update: the plans for the dinner have changed. We've updated the description below to match the new plans.

Reading Room are holding their opening celebrations on the same night as our planned GGD Dinner #4, so they have invited us to hold our dinner at Reading Room instead.

This has a number of advantages. First of all, Reading Room will be covering costs, so if you have paid for a ticket, I will be refunding this to you in the next few days. It also means we get to hear Kate Lundy and Pia Waugh speak again, and also have the chance to check out some fantastic digital art in the flashy new Reading Room premises.
