Hi Folks,
Just in case you hadn't heard, Ballarat is holding Linux Conf Au from
16-21 January next year. This is Australia's annual free software
conference. I'll be attending and I'd definitely recommend coming if you
can.
The topics are many and varied. Despite the name, only a few talks are
actually related to the Linux kernel. Most topics have some tie to free
software, free culture, free standards and the hacker ("playful
cleverness") movement.
The conference is somewhat technical, but probably at least half of the
talks aren't about computer programming directly, so there's plenty to
choose from. I'll be speaking about our campaign against software
patents. I'm particularly looking forward to hearing from Karen Sandler,
the Executive Director of the GNOME Foundation and host of the Free as
in Freedom oggcast.
It's also a great way to get to know others in the
community. Particularly those living interstate.
Did I mention that it's in Ballarat? Not having to catch a plane is
almost reason enough to come!
