This week is your last chance to get a talk or miniconf proposal in for
linux.conf.au 2017!

Submissions for talks, tutorials, and miniconfs close on this Friday, 5
August.

***We do not expect to extend this deadline.***

You can find details on how to submit your proposals at
https://linux.conf.au/proposals

This year, our theme is "The Future of Open Source". We're still interested
in talks about new and exciting developments in every aspect of Free and
Open Source Software, but we?ll also be focusing particularly on how the
world of Open Source will look in the future.

If you?re working with Free and Open Source Software, Open Hardware, if
you?re exploring openness in a field outside of technology, or if you?re
doing something that you think will be interesting to people interested in
Open Source, we want to hear from you!

You can read more about what we're looking for in our Call for Proposals,
which can be found at https://linux.conf.au/proposals -- Our CFP also
contains details of what support we're able to provide for our speakers,
including limited travel and accommodation support.

For more information on linux.conf.au 2017, visit our website, or send us
an e-mail at team at hobart.lca2017.org

Subject: [Linux-aus] LCA 2019 Potential Bid - Gold Coast
Message-ID: <67F10921-EE14-41FA-966D-9C144005A063@addison.net.au>

Hello everyone,

I am writing to register interest in bidding for LCA in 2019 - Destination: Gold Coast. 

The Gold Coast is Australia?s sixth largest city, situated on the south coast of Queensland [0]. It is home to a number of beautiful beaches, great surfing conditions and plenty of sunny weather. If sand is not your thing, the Hinterland region is just a short drive away, where you will find a number of bush walks, wineries and other forest areas you can explore. To add some excitement to your trip, you could also visit one of the many theme parks, such as Dreamworld, Movie World, Sea World and Wet?n?Wild. 

In 2018 the Gold Coast is hosting the Commonwealth Games. This has resulted in a number of new infrastructure projects, such as the light rail stretching the length of the coast. An LCA held on the Gold Coast in 2019 will be able to take full advantage of this. 

It is likely that a number of people on the organising committee will come from HUMBUG [1], which has run a number of events in the past. This includes LCA in 2002 and 2011 as well as PyCon Australia in 2014 and 2015. If you are interested in being a part of the organising committee for this bid, please email me. 

Kind Regards,

Joel Addison

Dear all,

With a bit of delay, the Digital Freedom Foundation is very happy to
announce that registration of its thirteenth edition of Software Freedom
Day has just opened. While the wiki has been back online for about a
week we were still lagging on the registration.

Fear no more, it is now fixed and you can all register your events!


On the bright side we have a newly configured server and brand new
websites for SFD and DFF. Other sites and efforts are on the way.

On the sponsorship side we are keeping the same organizations for SFD,
Google being our major sponsor, Linode and Canonical helping us on the
infrastructure sides. Full details are available on this page:
http://digitalfreedomfoundation.org/index.php/sponsors .

We would like to point out a new additional sponsor for DFD in the name
of Freiheit this year (from our perspective).

So as usual registration happens after you have created your event page
on the wiki. We have an exhaustive guide here at
http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/StartGuide for newcomers and for the
others who need help, the SFD-Discuss mailing list is probably the best
place to get prompt support.

So get ready to celebrate and happy preparations to all!


The Digital Freedom Foundation
