About LUV

Linux Users of Victoria is one of Australia's largest GNU/Linux, free software and open source user groups. We conduct two regular events in Melbourne each month. On the first Tuesday of the month LUV runs technical lectures at Trinity College in Parkville, close to Melbourne's CBD and at Unitarian Church hall in East Melbourne on the third Saturday of the month, LUV run a hands on workshop, addressing the issues of the users who turn up. The workshops have a "beginners" level talk, whereas the technical lectures are for an "intermediate" and "advanced" audience.

LUV has three regional chapters in Ballarat, Geelong and Shepparton. Many of our members also attend Melbourne Linux Users Group (MLUG).

 We believe that software patents cause net harm to our members, the software industry and the community. We therefore support removing software from patentable subject matter.

The next meeting has not yet been added to the website.

Scribus - Andrew Pam

Scribus is desktop publishing (DTP) application, based on the Qt toolkit. It is known for its broad set of page layout features, comparable to leading commercial applications.

Scribus is designed for flexible layout and typesetting and the ability to prepare files for professional quality image setting equipment. It can also create animated and interactive PDF presentations and forms.

Andrew will provide an overview to Scribus, its development and a few tricks!
