Linux.Conf.Au 2004 opens registrations! Registrations for Linux.Conf.Au, Australia's national Linux and open-source conference, to be held in Adelaide, Australia on January 12-17, 2004, open today. Now is the time for YOUR fun to begin. Right now, head off to http://lca2004.linux.org.au/register/ where you can sign up and pay for your attendance at next year's LCA. But it's not just conference registration that you can stitch up - you can organise dormatory accommodation on-line, arrange for your partner to go to our Partner's Programme, sign up for miniconfs, and now for our next extra special, secret surprise - you can sit LPI exams as well! The Linux Professional Institute is one of the leading Linux certifications on offer, and on the 2 days preceding the conference (overlapping the miniconfs), you can sit up to four of the LPI exams at a greatly reduced cost! Another bargaining chip to use when explaining to your boss why they should pay for you to come to LCA2004. But don't leave it too long! When we opened registrations at midnight on September 1, people started registering straight away. Honest! That was before we announced anything publicly. We were surprised too! :-) Register early to secure your spot - by doing so you help us put on an even better conference! If you want to see our more formal announcement, please check out our Media Centre at http://lca2004.linux.org.au/mediacentre for our press releases. Stay tuned for more announcements soon, Your friendly Linux.Conf.Au 2004 Organising Team...
