linux.conf.au

Meaning to post for days. I've been doing so much else. Finally getting around to it now.

linux.conf.au 2009 starts in a little over 2 weeks in Hobart Tasmania...

Will you be there?

Deep into preparations for the Inkscape tutorial I'm giving at linux.conf.au in Hobart in January, I've been practicing techniques and recording them using RecordMyDesktop. It is a Linux application that does exactly what it says, screencast and audio recording of what's happening on screen.  It works very well!

phew.  we made it.

think I'll sleep now.

for a week. 

linux.conf.au - Meet the Team

On Friday 21 Dec we sold out of tix for linux.conf.au 2008. We only had 500 to sell and clearly that's just not enough. It's already a big conference. We've reserved 100 spots for speakers, mini-conf organisers and the media. Volunteers aren't counted inside the 600 limit our keynote venue holds...  the team will meet today to discuss options re: over subscribing, or issuing tickets that don't give access to the keynotes.

Well!

deep breaths - the VITTA (http://www.vitta.org.au) conference opens on Monday. It has nothing in common with linux.conf.au (http://linux.conf.au) other than the fact I'm organising both conferences, and they both have something to do with IT.  Albeit at very different ends of the scale.  

A huge thanks to Will Blecher and his team running SecureCon this year for giving me a chance to plug linux.conf.au and putting our postcards in their delegate bags.
