Linux Australia proudly announces that preparation for Australia's National Technical Linux Conference, Linux.Conf.Au 2004 (http://lca2004.linux.org.au) is well underway to be held in Adelaide in January 2004 - organised by LinuxSA (http://www.linuxsa.org.au). Linux.conf.au is a national conference held under the auspices of Linux Australia Inc (http://www.linux.org.au/). It has a very high standing in the international community for being very technically focused, yet having a relaxed conference schedule. Along with Linux Congress (http://www.linux-kongress.org) and the Ottawa Linux Symposium (http://www.linuxsymposium.org/2003/), Linux.Conf.Au is one of the premier grass-roots, volunteer-run, Linux and Open Source conferences run anywhere in the world today. * Speakers ---------- A number of well-known identities in the Open Source / Free Software communities have already given an indication to speak at the conference, continuing Linux.Conf.Au's strong tradition of attracting quality speakers. The speakers that have provided an initial indication of attendance are[1]: * Havoc Pennington (GNOME, Red Hat) * Keith Packard (XFree86) * Rasmus Lerdorf (PHP) * Jon "maddog" Hall (Linux International) * Bdale Garbee (Debian) * Andrew Tridgell (Samba) * Paul "Rusty" Russell (Linux Kernel) ...and there's more to still be announced!!!! To supplement these invited speakers, a Call for Papers (CFP) will be made RealSoonNow, to invite submissions from others in the Open Source / Free Software community to be involved in this event. * Mini-confs ------------ Expanding the main conference are our "pre-conferences", known as a collection of "mini-confs". These are informal sessions where conference attendees can meet prior to the main conference to talk on topics of common interests. Currently there are 5 planned mini-confs: Debian, Linux Audio, EducationaLinux, IPv6 and Python. Please see http://lca2004.linux.org.au/miniconf.cgi for further details. * Partners' Programme --------------------- In an attempt to make attendance at all of Linux.Conf.Au's events easier for conference delegates, we have introduced a Partners' Programme to provide activites for partners and their families. Currently we are conducting a survey for potential partner programme attendees to fill in to help the conference in its organisation of this event. If you believe your partner may make use of such a facility, could you please have your partner fill in our survey at http://lca2004.linux.org.au/partners.cgi * More Information ------------------ The latest news about Linux.Conf.Au 2004 can be found at our website - http://lca2004.linux.org.au In addition, a low-volume, no-spam email list has been made available so conference related announcements can be communicated. Please subscribe to this service at http://lists.linux.org.au/listinfo/lca-announce [1] These speakers in good faith have indicated that they will speak at the conference. Some changes in the line-up of speakers may occur closer to the event due to unforseen circumstances. Linux(R) is a registered trademark of Linus Torvalds.
