Quite deliberately, in fact; personally I think it'll be interesting to
see how Sydney does with numbers given people know the next conference
will be in Melbourne, and Sydney have a lot of places available and a lot
of neat ideas on the table. I think lca probably attracts enough people
(and probably sponsors) that having people skip a year might actually be
a feature, in that it lets more people enjoy the lca experience instead
of missing out due to lca being booked out... But we'll see.

Cheers,
