[Linux-aus] Community Leadership Summit to be part of Linux.conf.au 2015

[Simon Lyall]

Inspired by the Community Leadership Summit run each year before OSCON,
Donna Benjamin will be running an event to bring together community
leaders, organizers and managers and the projects and organizations that
are interested in growing and empowering a strong community.

The event pulls together the leading minds in community management,
relations and online collaboration to discuss, debate and continue to
refine the art of building an effective and capable community.

The event will be run in a similar manner to the parent event:

www.communityleadershipsummit.com

as an open unconference-style event in which everyone who attends is
welcome to lead and contribute sessions on any topic that is relevant.
These sessions are very much discussion sessions: the participants can
interact directly, offer thoughts and experience, and share ideas and
questions. These unconference sessions are also augmented with a series of
presentations from leaders in the field, panel debates and networking
opportunities.

Donna Benjamin currently chairs the Drupal community working group, sits on
the board of the Drupal Association, and works as community engagement
director with PreviousNext. She's also been an advisor to councils of Linux
Australia, and was conference director for LCA2008 in Melbourne. Donna has
also served as President of Linux Users of Victoria, and as a Director of
Open Source Industry Australia.

Linux.conf.au

linux.conf.au is one of the foremost open source conferences in the world,
