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.

Open Day

Saturday 2 February is Open Day at linux.conf.au. Hoping to build on the magnificent success of Open Day at linux.conf.au 2007 we will set up tables for FLOSS projects, community groups and our sponsors to use to spread the word about their good works.

The Passion to produce Free Software.
Do you have it? Do you want it?

Registration is now open for Linux Australia's premier annual event, linux.conf.au. Attendees are invited to register online at http://linux.conf.au/register.

  Linux Magazine approached us to be a media partner, and I've been preparing a press-ready PDF to go into the next edition as an advertisement...  I went off to buy a copy of the magazine, as research, to see how it looks - and saw we had this nice little write up!
