[Mike Beattie]

2006 - Dunedin, NZ!

linux.conf.au is the annual Australian Linux technical conference, and is
one of the largest gatherings of users and developers of Free and Open
Source Software in the Southern Hemisphere.  It is an opportunity for
developers and groups to present their ideas amongst peers, and for the Free
Software and Open Source communities to gather in general.

Summary:
      Registrations are open!
      See http://lca2006.linux.org.au/register/

The 2006 conference is being held in Dunedin, New Zealand, at The University

Registrations:

      The organisers of linux.conf.au 2006 are proud to finally announce
      that registrations are open.

      Keynote speakers at the conference are Mark Shuttleworth (instigator 
      of the Ubuntu Linux distribution), Sudhakar "Thaths" Chandrasekharan
      (co-founder of Linux India), and Damian Conway (Perl 6 Developer and 
      Guru).  Some of the other speakers presenting at linux.conf.au 2006 
      are listed on http://linux.conf.au/speakers.php. This list will grow 
      as more speakers confirm their acceptance to present at linux.conf.au, 
      so check back from time to time.

      Like previous years the response to the call for papers was
      overwhelming, with over 150 paper and tutorial submissions received.
      Selection of the successful submissions was very difficult!

      Registration fees for linux.conf.au 2006 will be: AU$690 for
      professional delegates, AU$300 for hobbyist delegates, and a low AU$100
      for students. An early bird discount of AU$172 for professional
      delegates and AU$75 for hobbyist delegates is available for those who
      register and pay before November 18th 2005 (This brings the prices
      down to AU$517.50 and AU$225 respectively).

      Registration for linux.conf.au includes admission to the two days of
      mini-conferences preceding linux.conf.au. We'll be announcing the
      miniconfs very soon, so stay tuned!
