From eo-announce at lists.linux.org.au Wed Feb 7 21:59:13 2024 From: eo-announce at lists.linux.org.au (Everything Open Announcements) Date: Wed, 07 Feb 2024 20:59:13 +1000 Subject: [eo-announce] Everything Open 2024 - Call for Volunteers is now open - share your energy, enthusiasm and expertise Message-ID: ## Call for Volunteers Are you great with people? Have some familiarity with audio visual technologies? Confident addressing an audience? Able to use chat systems, online document sharing and social media? Then we'd love to have you on board as a Volunteer on the ground in Gladstone in mid-April to make the magic happen. If you're a regular Volunteer at Everything Open and just want to skip to the sign up [0] - thank you! If you?re new to it all and want to help out, keep reading! We?re all volunteers ourselves and we need more ? we can?t run the conference by ourselves, particularly during the week of the conference itself. We need help with: * Checking attendees in when they arrive * Operating AV equipment such as audio gear and cameras * Directing people around our venue * Ensuring talks and tutorials run to schedule * Setting up and packing up the conference Anyone who has volunteered for a [Linux Australia event](https://linux.org.au/events) before will tell you it?s a very busy time, but also very worthwhile. It?s satisfying to know that you?ve helped everyone at the conference to get the most out of it. It?s very rewarding knowing that you?ve made a positive difference to someone?s day. You don?t just get to meet the Delegates and Speakers, you also get to know many of them while helping them out. You are presented with a unique opportunity to get the behind the scenes and close to the action. You?ll get to forge new relationships with amazing, interesting and wonderful people (just like you), whom you might not have otherwise had the good fortune to meet in any other way. In return for your help we?ll provide you with: * Food - morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea * A clean T shirt everyday * If you want one, a letter of reference at the end of the conference Depending on the number of Volunteers we get and workload (many hands make light work), we?ll do our best to allocate you to roles so that you can attend talks that interest you. For more information, please check out our Volunteers page [1], where we have full details of what we need assistance with. We review and approve applications regularly.

About the Keynote - Intelligent Interfaces: Challenges and Opportunities The exploration of novel sensing to facilitate new interaction modalities is an active research topic in Human-Computer Interaction. Across the breadth of HCI, we can see the development of new forms of interaction underpinned by the appropriation or adaptation of sensing techniques based on the measurement of sound, light, electric fields, radio waves, biosignals etc. In this talk, Professor Quigley will delve into a range of novel interactions which are supported by new forms of sensing on mobile and wearable devices.

We have been busy planning things with for Everything Open Gladstone 2024 and we thought we would put together a bit of a summary of what is happening so far: ##SWAG! We officially have 48 days left. Have you bought your tickets yet? While you are at it we have Swag available for purchase via Redbubble at: https://www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/158192555 [1] We have everything from mouse pads, to hats, to blankets, to t-shirts, to hoodies, and duvet/doona covers for sale. Someone pretty please buy the throw blanket! (it looks so soft) ##Tickets Tickets are still available and will be until the last day of the conference. But don't leave it until the last minute because you're running out of time. ##Buses Speaking of travel? although there are many ways to get to Gladstone for Everything Open 2024 [2], we heard from many potential Delegates that airfares between Brisbane (BNE) and Gladstone (GLT) were cost prohibitive, dampening enthusiasm to attend #EverythingOpen 2024. While we can't spin up a competing airline (Penguin Air, anyone?), we _can_ put on a bus from Brisbane to Gladstone, and return from Gladstone to Brisbane, to get you to and from the conference. We are providing these busses for $40 each way. You can buy your bus ticket on the website with your conference tickets at https://2024.everythingopen.au/dashboard/ ##Keynotes We have announced 3 amazing keynotes so far: * Professor Aaron Quigley from CSIRO's Data61 * Jana Dekanovska from CrowdStrike * Geoff Huston from Asia Pacific Network Information Centre (APNIC) We have one more announcement to come as well and we are VERY excited to have this person join us in Gladstone ##Sessions We have some incredible speakers joining us. Gernot Heiser, J Rosenbaum, Christopher Biggs, Liz Quilty, Clinton Roy, and Elise Elkerton just to name a few.
