Linux.Conf.Au 2004 announces conference programme! Our much anticipated conference programme is now officially released into the wild, sporting a new and improved format - with 4 simultaneous streams, just to make your job harder in choosing which paper presentation to attend! :-) We've divided our tutorials and paper presentations into 4 categories - low-level programming, high-level programming, applications and advocacy/community/case-studies - so you can better match your interests to the papers. So now there's no excuse not to hop onto your closest web browser and navigate to http://lca2004.linux.org.au/register/ where you can register and pay for your attendance at LCA 2004 in January 2004. Be quick though - conference registrations have already passed 100, and are storming their way towards 150, so if you're planning on coming, sign up now for the fun! And as another quick update - since we've last contacted you we've been pretty busy. On our website we've announced : o conference artwork and posters; o Speex encoding; o the "Linux and OSS in Government miniconf"; o Oracle, AARNet, CommSecure, Inetd & Adrenalin as sponsors; o an "About SA" web page, as well as an FAQ; o FIXITs (BOFs with a purpose); o the Live CD project; and o the "OLS Best Speaker" award winner. Whew! It's been a busy month! But wait, there's more cool things to come.... You'll just have to check our website http://lca2004.linux.org.au regularly to find out more (and while you're there, why not register? :-) If you're reading this and you're not subscribed to the lca-announce mailing list, think about visiting http://lists.linux.org.au/listinfo/lca-announce and join up! That way you won't miss a thing! Your friendly Linux.Conf.Au 2004 Organising Team...
