Inventor of the Web to Keynote Linux Conference

Australia's premier open source conference, linux.conf.au, are very proud to announce the fourth
and final keynote speaker for 2013. Sir Tim Berners-Lee is best known for inventing the World Wide
Web in the late 1980s, and is now the Director of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), which
oversees web development around the world. Sir Tim Berners-Lee is appearing at linux.conf.au as
part of his visit to Australia in January 2013, with support from a consortia of sponsors. The full
details of the tour and sponsors are available at http://tbldownunder.org/ 

Sir Tim Berners-Lee was knighted in 2004 for his work on HTTP and the World Wide Web, and was
elected as a foreign associate of the United States Academy of Sciences in 2009. He also holds the
Founders Chair at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. This is Sir Tim
Berners-Lee's first visit to Australia, and his linux.conf.au keynote speech is set to be the only
technical talk during his Down Under tour. This talk is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Aussie
geeks to see and hear the inventor of the web.

The keynote from Sir Tim Berners-Lee rounds out a full conference schedule, with other keynotes
being given by fellow internet pioneer Radia Perlman, Chumby co-inventor Andrew 'bunnie' Huang, and
