We just pushed out a fresh press release, New format, more miniconfs for linux.conf.au 2007, detailing some of what we’re doing to cope with the enormous demand for the conference.
We’ve had over 250 submissions for talks, tutorials and miniconfs this year. Of course, most of our growth strategies were planned over a year ago (aside […]

Today is the final day to enter your proposal for linux.conf.au 2007. Our review team is chomping at the bit to read and rate all the submissions, and put together the fan-fucking-tastic line-up of mind-boggling topics and inspirational speakers you expect from linux.conf.au. Will you be one of them?
Note: We close when the entire planet […]

Greg Lehey has proposed the dissolution of AUUG. As an interested spectator of AUUG over a number of years, an active participant in the Australian Open Source and Free Software community, and a member of Linux Australia, I’m in agreement with his proposal.
I know that some AUUG members have been sensitive about Linux Australia in […]
These men are threatening to rewrite the Linux networking stack and break all of your firewall scripts… again.
Will you be there to stop them?
Will you be there to help them?
The only conference where you’ll see Linus Torvalds and Keith Packard arguing about why your mouse cursor lags under heavy I/O… and which one of them […]
Lindsay created a totally sweet logo for a new Free Software project we’re working on. It’s totally niche, but we think it’ll be useful for all kinds of projects and organisations… Another thing to add to the toolbox, kinda like Planet.
Before anyone asks: No, I didn’t leave Canonical for an androgynous man patting a happy […]
The linux.conf.au 2007 Call for Participation is now open, so if you’re keen to join us in Sydney for one of the world’s great Open Source and Free Software conferences, submit a proposal now.
The Ghosts of Conferences Past is the nickname given to previous linux.conf.au organisers who volunteer to mentor and help future teams. Every year the new team, the immediate past organisers and some of the veteran Ghosts meet to pass the torch, provide advice and share their experiences.
What a weekend!
We began on Saturday morning with the […]
During the Penguin Dinner at linux.conf.au 2006, I was given the opportunity to announce that linux.conf.au 2007 would be held in Sydney, Australia. This is what happened…
Seems like a night for retrospectives. While Hugh and Bdale gave you a whirlwind tour of conference history in general, I’m going to take you on a bit of […]
Today, Jaq and I suffered through a lengthy background check and extensive body cavity search to gain access to the linux.conf.au bank account. Had these processes been administered by members of the Linux Australia committee, it might have been quite enjoyable. Unfortunately, they delegated this duty to cheaply remunerated stooges at the bank. Slackers.
But hey […]
