Program Released

11.11.2005

The linux.conf.au 2006 team proudly presents.... The Program!. We do apologise for the delays in getting the program out but I'm sure you'll agree that it was well worth the wait. With only one week left for early bird registrations I think it really is time to register and secure your seat at whats shaping up to be the best linux.conf.au yet.

Registrations are open

10.10.2005

Yes its true.. registrations for linux.conf.au 2006 are officially open. You will need to be in quick to qualify for your "early bird Discount" so head on over to the Registration page and secure your place at the conference now. -- see you all in January

Registration pushed back

7.10.2005

Unfortunately, due to some technical issues we've had to push registrations back a few days.. We do sincerely apologise for the delay, but the payment system isn't quite working yet, and we need to wait for business hours to have the problem corrected! We've updated the Dates Page to reflect this. We're also just running a fraction late announcing speakers - We should hopefully do this tomorrow if all goes well.

Dates Changed

23.9.2005

Due to the overwhelming number of paper submissions, we have had to push back the dates for notifying and announcing the successful authors. This has also had the unfortunate effect of pushing the Program and "Early Bird Registrations" back a few days. Apologies go out to anyone that has been inconvenienced by this delay. New dates can be found in our Dates Page
