From eo-announce at lists.linux.org.au Sat Feb 11 19:50:08 2023 From: eo-announce at lists.linux.org.au (Everything Open Announcements) Date: Sat, 11 Feb 2023 18:50:08 +1000 Subject: [eo-announce] Everything Open 2023 - Ticket Sales Open and Schedule Published Message-ID: Tickets to Everything Open 2023 are now on sale, and the schedule has been published! ## Schedule We would like to thank everyone who submitted a proposal to our Call for Sessions.

Our schedule is now available for your perusal at https://2023.everythingopen.au/schedule/. We will be running Lightning Talks on the Thursday afternoon, with talk submissions open at the event.

If you have questions please contact the Organising Team via email at contact at everythingopen.au. ## Open Hardware Workshop and Social Event The Open Hardware team are putting on a special event on Monday 13 March, the day before the conference opens (a public holiday in Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia and Australian Capital Territory). This event is an all day workshop for the OHMC 2022 hardware, held at the Melbourne HackerSpace (CCHS). The morning session will be based on prepared material about the hardware, the software, how to develop on and use your SwagBadge / Rockling FPGA. The afternoon session will be open ended, supporting development using your new kit. Also on that Monday, from late afternoon, an Everything Open social event will be held at the HackerSpace and potentially overflowing on to the nearby Hawthorn Hotel into the evening. Everyone is welcome to attend this event, regardless of whether you attended the workshop during the day. Everyone who has a SwagBadge 2021 is encouraged to bring it along to Everything Open, because it is largely compatible with SwagBadge 2022, especially regarding microPython, ESP32 and the Simple-Add-On (SAO) boards. It will be great to see people putting these to use during the event! If you are interested in either of these events, we encourage you to fill out the Open Hardware 2023 event form to help with planning - https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1XxxYti2rxYYmd5JR9wf2oQddNSc-K6iJa4PmApPLfc0/edit ## Volunteering We still have spaces available for volunteers during the conference. As Everything Open is a community-focused, grassroots conference, it requires the support of volunteers to make the event possible. Please see the volunteers page at https://2023.everythingopen.au/attend/volunteer/ for full details and to apply. ## Sponsorship We have a wide range of sponsorship opportunities available. In addition to sponsoring the conference overall, there are a number of opportunities to contribute towards specific parts of the event. If you or your organisation is interested in sponsoring Everything Open, please get in touch via sponsorship at everythingopen.au or visit our sponsorship page at https://2023.everythingopen.au/sponsors/prospectus/. ---- Read this online at https://2023.everythingopen.au/news/tickets-schedule-open/ From eo-announce at lists.linux.org.au Tue Feb 28 13:23:06 2023 From: eo-announce at lists.linux.org.au (Everything Open Announcements) Date: Tue, 28 Feb 2023 12:23:06 +1000 Subject: [eo-announce] Everything Open 2023 - Keynote: Seb Chan Message-ID: We are excited to announce Seb Chan as a keynote presenter for Everything Open 2023! ## About Seb Chan Seb Chan is the Director & CEO of ACMI (https://www.acmi.net.au/) in Naarm (Melbourne).
