WELLINGTON, New Zealand – Friday 11 September 2009 – linux.conf.au 2010
Organisers are proud to announce three funding programmes!

The three funding programmes - InternetNZ Oceania Programme, InternetNZ
Kiwi Fellowship and Google Diversity Programme - have been created to
assist those delegates contributing to the Open Source community who,
without financial assistance, would not be able to attend LCA2010.

InternetNZ Oceania Programme - Many highly-skilled Open Source
contributors are living throughout the greater Australasia and Pacific
regions who, without financial assistance, would not be able to attend
linux.conf.au. LCA2010 and InternetNZ are proud to offer this out-reach
programme in support of those communities.
