[lca-announce] Keynote announcement!

[linux.conf.au Announcements]

The linux.conf.au 2019 team are excited to announce Rory Aronson as our 
first keynote speaker!

Rory is the CEO of FarmBot Inc, a California benefit corporation that 
produces 100% open-source CNC farming machines designed for small-scale 
automated precision food production.

Rory started the project from his sunny porch in San Luis Obispo with 
the publishing of the FarmBot whitepaper in September of 2013. From 
there, he formed a small team consisting of hardware and software 
engineers who brought the project to market in July of 2016 with the 
debut of FarmBot Genesis.
After raising over $1,000,000 in pre-order sales in 2016, the team 
shipped their first units to customers in early 2017. Today, over 900 
FarmBot kits have been delivered to customers all around the world, and 
the FarmBot community continues to grow.

Come and hear Rory speak at linux.conf.au 2019!
