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 is where we decided to hold it. 2002 was in Brisbane, 2001 was in Sydney and CALU was held in Melbourne. It will be somewhere else next year.

    Many Western Australians would have had the same reason for not going to previous conferences, so holding the odd conference over here is a good idea.

    It is too bad you can't make it though, because it is going to be a great conference :)
