[Aust-NZ] Melbourne - pub night?

[mapbutcher]

Do you see these as being:

a) Developing solutions with FOSS4G ...or
b) Developing FOSS4G

because I see the latter as more of a code-sprint where the attendees are
already in the know/active in a project? Where as the former may be more
attractive to an audience who:

i) knows nothing or little about FOSS4G
ii) have 'real world' (albeit a skewed developer world) problems they want
to solve with FOSS4G
iii) can take home working solutions built from FOSS4G components.
