A tad harsh on the ACS, I think. In New South Wales the ACS have an open source SIG, and you don't need to be a member to come along to the SIG meetings (but members will get priority e.g. if there is not enough room at a meeting). The SIG home page is here: http://acs.org.au/nsw/sigs/opensource/index.html Also, the ACS can be a good place to network - i.e. find work. All the best, Bruce Badger http://www.openskills.com
