Linuxconf.Au Needs Papers & Join In

Posted by Hemos on from the i-come-from-a-land-down-under dept.

We usually don't post stories about specific shows and such, but since I'm hoping to attend this one, and it will be a continent I've never been, I thought folks would like to know that Linux.conf.au is going to be happening February 6-9, in Brisbane, Australia. They've got the call for papers up and everything -- hope to see you there.

  1. Au Debian Conference by jamesbromberger · · Score: 2, Informative

    We're also hoping to run a small Debian Conference for the Asia-Pacific Debian developers and users. It'll be pretty informal; we're asking people who would like to talk about a subject to also email lca-cfp_AT_linux.org.au. See this for more information. It'll be on the Monday and Tuesday, with LCA 2002 starting on the Wednesday.

  2. NLUUG autumn conference 2001 by Stonehead · · Score: 3, Informative

    Another conference that will be held soon (on November 8) is the Dutch NLUUG autumn conference 2001 (in Dutch). This year, the theme is "Unix and the desktop", with speakers on general GNOME, KDE, KOffice and security topics, and Jordan Hubbard! (probably about Mac OS X :))
    Wietse Venema (known from the famous tcp wrappers) stale the show last year. I will certainly be there again this time :)

    A rather interesting fact ... they recently put on HPCAsia 2001 where they revealed that Brisbane has not one, but THREE Virtual Reality facilities (UQ, QMI, Boeing). According to their blurb, they're involved in the Japanese Whole Earth Simulator (4 Teraflops), something called a Virtual Reef, as well as using it for designing their scramjets. Actually after rummaging around the AUUG website a more interesting workshop to attend would be their security symposium in Nov.
