Hi all, At SLUG last night I promised I'd send a rego code for everyone who wanted to come along and see the first ever Open CeBIT, a real Open Source presence at CeBIT this year. Jeff and I have been working with Hannover Fairs to make a great event to take Open Source to the mainstream business market. It should hopefully be a big step for Open Source in Australia and the industry.
http://www.opencebit.com.au/ We have about 22 Open Source organisations and companies showcasing, including the Linux Australia and OSIA stands. There is also talks happening every day in the Open CeBIT theatre, so you can come along and see some cool (and free) talks as part of your visit Open CeBIT theate schedule: http://www.opencebit.com.au/content/view/70/84/ The promotional code for free entry to CeBIT (which includes access to the Open CeBIT exhibition) is: edm3137421 Otherwise entry to CeBIT this year has a door fee. Register at https://www.mycebit.com.au/registration/. Sridhar is running the Linux Australia stand, so for anyone interested in helping take the community message to CeBIT, chat to Sridhar. Also for any people interested there is the one day Open Source business conference still available at the special price of $199. The schedule for this event is up at http://www.opencebit.com.au/content/view/28/51/ (although please keep an eye on that page as it has some updates going up in the next day or two). http://www.opencebit.com.au/content/view/70/84/ We'll see some of you there! :) Cheers, Pia -- Linux Australia http://linux.org.au/ "The future is here.
