-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Everybodeee! Thanx for welcoming me to the ranks of GTALUG membership last night! As I mentioned at the meeting, there's going to be a get-together of Free/Libre-minded software folks this Saturday afternoon. The whole thing was started when Sergio Durigan, the organizer of LibrePlanet-Brazil moved to Toronto and re-activated the LibrePlanet-Ontario group, and I offered to introduce him other Free Software groups. LibrePlanet-Ontario - http://libreplanet.org/wiki/Group:LibrePlanet_Ontario LibrePlanet exist to promote the use of Free Software in the communities of Ontario and to support individuals who wish to use or create Free Software. The goals are similar to those of the Free Software Foundation. Recently one of LibrePlanet-Brazil's organizers, Sergio Durigan Jr. moved to Toronto and is now helping organize LibrePlanet-Ontario. Let's show him a warm Canadian welcome! TorontoCrypto - https://torontocrypto.org/ CryptoParty is a decentralized, global initiative to introduce the most basic cryptography software and the fundamental concepts of their operation to the general public. TorontoCrypto held a workshop on computer privacy and security software in July; let's practice those new skills by holding a GnuPG/PGP keysigning and extending the Web of Trust to the other organizations. Ubuntu Canada, Toronto chapter - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanadianTeam/Toronto/ This weekend is the Ubuntu Global Jam, where the Ubuntu community unites to work together to improve Ubuntu. We've got some Ubuntu DVDs to give away; bring your laptop and try it out. Everyone is welcome to Afternoon Tea, whether or not you're affiliated with LibrePlanet, TorontoCrypto or Ubuntu Canada. *What* : Afternoon Tea *When* : Saturday, 13 September 2014 from 3:00pm to 6:00pm *Where* : Yueh Tung, 126 Elizabeth Street, Toronto, Ontario *Website* : http://yuehtungrestaurant.com/ *Map* : http://osm.org/go/ZX6BtDPG?m= *Register* : http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-ca/2883/detail/ And a week later we're celebrating Software Freedom Day in Kitchener.

Everything is free, both in the sense of Libre and Gratis.
