[Linux-aus] linux.conf.au 2008 bound for Melbourne

[Jonathan Oxer]

Hi LA,

Congratulations to Donna Benjamin and Team Mel8ourne! In 2008
linux.conf.au will return to the city where CALU kicked off the whole
LCA phenomenon.

The decision this year was really tough with very well presented bids
from both Melbourne and Hobart. Both proposals contained a lot of flair,
and Hobart as a potential destination was definitely a big drawcard for
many people. In the end though the LA Committee felt that the Melbourne
team's plans were more well developed, and with Donna's enthusiasm and
organisational ability there is no doubt that they will pull off an
absolutely awesome conference in 2008.

Rock on Melbourne!

Cheers   :-)
