I'm just curious (and a little disappointed) to know why it's  
scheduled for the 30th of November in Sydney when the OSDC is running  
the following week in Melbourne?  Surely it would have made sense to  
have run it as a BoF session within one of the major Australian FOSS  
conferences of the year?
