Linus to Attend Linux.conf.au 2003

Posted by timothy on from the fly-south-for-a-bit-of-the-winter dept.

serps writes "Australian IT reports that Linus Torvalds will be attending Linux.conf.au later this week. Also attending are 'an impressive list of international open source legends, such as kernel guru Alan Cox, PHP developer Rasmus Lerdorf, and Slashdot's Jeff "Hemos" Bates, Australians Paul "Rusty" Russell and SAMBA pioneer Andrew Tridgell will also be speaking.' And yes, tickets are already sold out."

    because that'd be awkward when the audiences yelling "Hey this is a dupe!" during his speech.

    ...an impressive list of international open source legends, such as kernel guru Alan Cox, PHP developer Rasmus Lerdorf, and Slashdot's Jeff "Hemos" Bates, Australians Paul "Rusty" Russell and SAMBA pioneer Andrew Tridgell..

    This reminds me of that cool Sesame Street game where you spot the odd one out.

    Hemos is an international open-source legend? Uh...

    Hemos? An open-source legend? What the hell has Hemos done for the community other than post duplicate stories to slashdot.

    I get to attend (not to mention organise).

    WA's a great state, it makes naff-all difference to the price of international tickets, the state is a beautiful place to be, and Linus is coming - so shove it up your nose! (-:
