[lca-announce] Announcing Everything Open 2025

[linux.conf.au Announcements]

Linux Australia is pleased to announce that Everything Open will be be 
held in Adelaide, Australia from January 20-22 2025.

Everything Open is a grassroots conference with a focus on open 
technologies, the community that has built up around this movement and 
the values that it represents. The presentations will cover a broad 
range of subject areas including Linux, open source software, open 
hardware, open data, open government, and open GLAM (galleries, 
libraries, archives and museums), to name a few. As we have come to 
expect, there will be technical deep-dives into specific topics from 
project contributors, as well as tutorials on building hardware or using 
a piece of software, not to mention talks covering the inner workings of 
our communities.

This is the first time the conference, as either linux.conf.au or 
Everything Open, has returned to Adelaide in 20 years. With its vibrant 
maker community, Linux Australia is excited to once again bring a series 
of world-class presentations to the South Australian capital. The three 
day conference at the Adelaide Convention Centre will have presentations 
on a range of open technologies topics from community members and 
project leaders.

## Join the Team
As we start preparing in earnest, we need to expand our organising team. 
We have a number of roles that are needed to make the conference a 
success, including but not limited to:

*Communications officer
*Event coordinator
*Treasurer
*Speaker liaison
*Sponsorship coordinator
*Volunteer coordinator

While being based in Adelaide or nearby is beneficial, it is not a 
requirement for being a part of the team. We also recognise that you may 
not have been involved in running a conference before, so we have guides 
and experienced people to help you along the way.

Interested? We want to hear from you! Please reach out to us at 
contact at everythingopen.au and let us know you would like to be involved.

As usual we will also open a Call for Volunteers for people to assist 
during the week of the conference, which will come out later this year.

## Call for Sessions
The Everything Open 2025 Call for Sessions will open in late June 2024. 
We encourage you to start thinking about talks and tutorials to present 
at the conference, ready to submit a proposal once the dashboard opens.

## Sponsorship opportunities
We have a wide range of sponsorship opportunities available. In addition 
to sponsoring the conference overall, there are a number of 
opportunities to contribute towards specific parts of the event. If you 
or your organisation is interested in sponsoring Everything Open, please 
get in touch.
