Hey all, Whilst there are only a few weeks to go before linux.conf.au 2011 begins, there's still time for everyone to contribute to the success of the conference.
Most importantly: register yourself; and if booking accommodation at Urbanest, please make sure to so by the end of the year. There's a lot of content at linux.conf.au, with four keynotes, five tutorials, fifteen miniconfs and over sixty presentations, the conference is very good value for money. Think about which of the fifteen available mini-conferences you'd like to attend, be aware that the hardware based miniconfs occur extra costs for materials. Also think about what BOFs you'd like to participate in, the more we know about numbers the better we can allocate rooms, store your preferences on the wiki. The call for stands at the Open Day is open, if you've got an Open Source based project that has wide public appeal, please consider running a stand, the more interactive the better. This year we've secured a lecture theatre next to the venue, so we're also looking for presentations on open source themes that will have wide public appeal. Mail [email protected] with your stall and presentation proposals. The call for Posters is also open, you can think of a poster as a graphical lightning talk, the poster can be technical in nature, describing the cogs and gears of your project, or it can be creative, showcasing your skill in one of the Open Source graphical toolkits or applications. Mail [email protected] with your poster ideas. We'll be running a photography competition again this year, time to check those memory sticks and batteries. Just prior to linux.conf.au DrupalDownunder is being held. During the conference several social events are being organised, see the wiki for details. I look forward to seeing many of you at linux.conf.au 2011 in not so hot Brisbane. -- Clinton Roy lca2011 organiser linux.conf.au -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
