I work on the Melbourne Uni campus so it would be very easy for me to go. I didn't realise it was in Melbourne this year. Unfortunately, it seems like registrations are full -- http://www.itwire.com/content/view/15889/1090/ says they sold out of registrations in late December. http://linux.conf.au/register doesn't say they've sold out, but I also can't find a link that would let a new registration occur. As for test coverage with Valgrind, I've tried writing a tool that does this (as has at least one other person). The problem I encountered was that Valgrind works at the binary level, whereas test coverage is all about a source level concept (lines). You can't get percentages when working at the binary level, except by using debug info, and I found GCC's output debug info to be sufficiently unreliable that this didn't work well.
