Brisbane Chief of Staff End-of-Year Meetup

The first Omarchy meetup in Brisbane. A casual gathering for people who use Omarchy, are curious about it or just love Linux, open-source and making computers fun again. Omarchy is the opinionated Arch + Hyprland Linux experience from DHH that has made desktop Linux feel exciting again. Bring your laptop. Install Omarchy or try it out in a VM. Show off themes and plugins. Talk about Linux, open-source, programming, hardware, AI agents, or whatever you’re building. 📍 Tanda, 108 Wickham St, Fortitude Valley 🎟️ Free and open to everyone 👥 Limited to 40 seats 🍕 Pizza included Thank you to Tanda for the venue and pizza! 🐧 Community-run meetup. The organiser speaks for themselves, not for Omarchy or the Omacom Foundation. See: omarchy.org/meetups.

Most students only ever see venture capital from the founder's side of the table. This night flips it. Four VC firms will take the stage and pitch you on why you should choose them. Each gets five minutes to make their case. Then they sit down together for a panel on what investors actually look for right now and how to approach them without getting ignored. Whether you're getting ready to raise, trying to work out how the ecosystem fits together or just curious about the people who back founders for a living, you'll leave with a clearer picture and a few good conversations under your belt. Lineup to be annouced soon! How it runs 6:00pm Doors open. Pizza will be provided along with soft drinks and water so come say hi to someone new. 6:15pm Welcome and the VC reverse pitches 6:45pm Panel on how VC works and what each firm is chasing 7:10pm Audience Q&A. You can send questions in through the QR code during the night or ask from the floor. 7:30pm Networking until 8pm Worth knowing Please arrive before 6:15pm.
