linux.conf.au 2010 Conference Program now available

Cool!

The team in Wellington organising linux.conf.au 2010 have released the conference program. This is shaping up to be an excellent 6 days in January! :-)

Just some of the things that stand out immediately to me are:

• Free the Cloud Miniconf led by Evan Prodromou (the identica guy)
• Wave Developers Miniconf led by Shane Stephens
• Introduction to game programming by Richard Jones
• A whole bunch of talks about HTML5
• subunit: Testing across boundaries for fun and profit by Robert Collins
• Git Wrangling - Advanced Tips and Tricks by Scott Chacon
• The Hydras: Improving the C/C++ Development Experience via GCC Static Analysis Plugins by Taras Glek
• PostgreSQL Development Today by Josh Berkus
• Simplicity Through Optimization by Paul McKenney
• Using Launchpad for Code Reviews by Tim Penhey
• Using Functional Programming Techniques In Your Favourite Language by Malcolm Tredinnick
• Patent defence for free software by Andrew Tridgell
• FOSS Fun With A Wiimote by Rusty Russell
• Patchwork: pursuing productive project participation by Jeremy Kerr

I love this time of year - knowing what the conference will contain, but still a few months of waiting in anticipation. So Wellington team, when are registrations going to open? It's time to book flights for the week starting January 18, 2010 :-)

Don't miss out!

Getting excited

Wow! linux.conf.au 2010 is looking very, very, very exciting. I'm currently reviewing miniconf proposals - there's some awesome proposals - and I can honestly say it's the best bunch of miniconf proposals that I've ever seen! (but I can't tell you any details yet, Andrew and Susanne will kill me :-)

Now, just as a reminder, the linux.conf.au 2010 CFP is currently open, you can read about it here on the Papers Info page. Talking at an LCA is a fantastic thing to do, so if you're working on something in the open-source world and you want to share that with other developers, recruit a community, and gain some recognition, you should make a submission and see if your proposal gets up. Go on, write up a submission and share your enthusiasm with others!

See you in January in Wellington, NZ. This conference is going to be wonderful - something you don't want to miss!
