June meeting in Sydney

7 June 2009

Our next meeting will be this coming Tuesday, 9th June. It will be held at the usual place – The Rose in Chippendale – from 6pm.

This time around we’ll be chatting about the recent Connecting Up conference (a conference for non-profit ICT professionals). If you were at the conference, please come along to share what you learned. If you weren’t at the conference, this is your opportunity to get the lowdown on the highlights.
