On the alternative platforms note, Mac users can use Fink [0] and DarwinPorts [1] to get binary and/or compiled open source programs. If there's interest, I could probably do a short demo on them at the West side meeting (no guarantees for East side). It probably won't be more than 15 or 20 minutes, since it's not a terribly deep topic, but it's good for people who don't know it's there.
