It's official! As of 17 minutes ago, early bird tickets for linux.conf.au are no longer available. They sold out less than a day before EB would have closed otherwise.
I would say we had estimated it very well, but we all know everyone leaves these things to the last second ;-)
Next milestone, here we come!
In other news, your tax invoice is now available as PDF from your registration status page too.
You're attending linux.conf.au, the sessions have finished for the day, the food court is closed and now you and your friends are in desperate need of food, but you don't know where to go.
This should be a problem no more. Melbourne has thousands of restaurants, many of which are only a short walk from our conference venue. The main restaurant strips are marked in purple on the map page, but a purple line isn't helpful in finding out what is available.
I suppose it's been pretty quiet on the linux.conf.au front since we've opened registrations, so perhaps an update is in order.
Things are progressing well and we seem to be tracking okay. Data is being generated for graphing purposes :-) There are 16 days to go until Early Bird registrations close!
Nothing major has broken as of yet (*tap*) and we're just about to do some updating on the main site.
Until that's done, here is a quick listing of the social programme for those who asked:
Last year I properly attended my first Open Source Developers Conference, and this year's - held in Brisbane from November 26 to 29 - is coming up fast.
I'm planning to attend again this year and if you have any developers doing open source work or doing any open source work yourself, I can heartily recommend going. OSDC is a great place to pick up tick and trips and find out how to use your favourite tools and languages in unexpected new ways.
The theme for this year's conference is "Success in Development & Business".
