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."

  1. Shame it's in Perth... by Xenex · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I mean, the majority of the Australian population is in Melbourne or Sydney, and Perth is on the opposite side of the continent...

    I know I'd have attended if it were on the east coast, but I'm not about to fork out for plane tickets to get to the west...

    Last year's Linux.conf.au was great - This is Greater!

    The collections of speakers are excellent *Especially Rusty* and it's like cyber-heaven to have Linus just hanging with the rest of us.

    Even the weather is better than expected.

    I'm a pig in Open Source mud!
