CodeCon 2009

It's that time of year again, and I'm running another CodeCon.  That's
coding and camping, for the uninitiated.  Real tents, no Internet, no
phone reception.  I do hire a generator, so the laptops still work.

This year we return to Olney State Forest, in the NSW Central Coast
hinterlands.  Last time we were there, several ultra-urban geeks learned
the binary chop technique can be applied to logs, with a fire.

Information and driving instructions may be found at
http://miller.emu.id.au/pmiller/codecon2009/

(Btw, who has blog entries for previous CodeCons?  I'd like to link.)

BOFs at SLUG

Hi everyone,

We decided to do something different at SLUG this month (and hopefully
in subsequent months). Details are below.

In short, we are expanding to fill our new venue by running BoFs* in
parallel. We're looking for people to run BoFs based on whatever topic
they like (provided it's FOSS-related).

Please contact the SLUG Activities list (activities@...) or
the SLUG Committee (committee@...) if you'd like to run one.

Cheers,
Sridhar

LCA2010 Open Programming Languages Miniconf CFP closes this week

(this time, we actually expect to close the CFP!)

Our CFP, now extended by a month, is coming to a close, and now you
have only one more week to get your presentation proposals in for the
LCA2010 Open Programming Languages Miniconf!

Our call for presentations closes on Friday 23 October 2009, so if
you’re planning on attending LCA2010 in Wellington in January, and
have something to say about doing development with Open Source
programming languages, libraries or frameworks, we’d love to hear from
you!

We’re looking primarily for standard-length talks (20-25 minutes
including questions), but we’ll also consider double-length talks on
suitably compelling topics (that’s 40-45 minutes including questions).

Our CFP is available from http://blogs.tucs.org.au/oplm/cfp/ — if
you’ve already read it, you can submit your proposal at
http://blogs.tucs.org.au/oplm/cfp/submit/

== ABOUT THE MINICONF ==

The Linux.conf.au Open Programming Languages Miniconf is a single-day
mini-conference about application development with Open Source
programming languages. Featuring talks on a wide range of topics and
programming languages, this miniconf aims to bring together open
source developers with presentations that share techniques, best
practices and values amongst programmers of all open programming
languages. OPLM2010 will be held at Linux.conf.au 2010, in Wellington,
New Zealand on January 18.

Re: LCA2011 Expressions of interest

Just wondering if a bid process is going to be announced?

AuDA conf.au domain submission

Since I am a posting to the LA list frenzy I should also ask how the
LA submission to AuDA about the linux.conf.au domain is going.

This article suggests we are submitting:

http://www.computerworld.com.au/article/320792/linux_australia_linux_conf_au_domain_has_future

My questions are:

a) Is the submission going to be circulated for comment, and
b) Does the Council want help with the submission?

For people's FYI - the submission details are at
http://www.auda.org.au/new2ldsap/new2lds-call/ and submissions are
due November 30th.

Regards

James Turnbull
