I’ve mentioned this before, and I’ll keep mentioning it to remind people. Linux.conf.au is a massive conference that I go to every year, and a good chuck of the admins and mods are going to be there too. And you’re welcome to come, too!
So. Put this in your calendar now: 28 January to 2 February, 2013
It’s in Canberra (which is easy, if annoyingly canberran, to get to from anywhere), and we’ll have a Minecraft BOF (Birds of a Feather) there where we’ll chat about running a big server, what things we’ve learnt, and what we’re planning on doing.
There will also be pizza, and huge amounts of geeking.
Note that, whilst it’s called Linux.conf.au, it’s not just about Linux. Last year we had (to pick some at random) Arduino talks, How girls can be better represented in IT, computer-controlled model aeroplanes, how pacemakers are closed source, how to make more accessible websites (for the blind) and how to hack your brain. It was awesome. And this year is going to be awesome too.
Normally we _can_ request accommodation to be physically near each other, and I’ll probably bring along our own minecraft server to play with too. As it gets closer, I’ll post some more announcements here.
im assuming you’re posting this because you want members to go aswell? because after reading i assumed the admins and mods know about this already before this was posted. 🙂 just wondering.
Yeah, all the admins and mods know about it – or should. I keep harping on about it in IRC 8) I updated the page to explicity say everyone’s welcome to come.
