Thanks Nick. SFD registration has been very slow to open this year. But we have a booking in place for the usual venue. Details: http://www.infohelp.co.nz/sfd11.html Yes your CV can be there, Ryan. Even better with you with it. Thanks Kerry for the advert-space offer. Has Molten reopened at the same venue? Any further SFD ideas or questions, anyone? Andrew, we'll get Jim's linuxconf video files back to screen, please.
