linux.conf.au announces Jonathan Oxer as keynote speaker

===========================
Press Release.

For immediate Release.

The linux.conf.au 2014 team are excited to announce the keynote
speaker - Jonathan Oxer. Jon has agreed to come and present a keynote
discussing ArduSat.

Jon has been hacking on both hardware and software since he was a
little tacker. Most recently he's been focusing more on the Open
Hardware side, co-founding Freetronics as a direct result of
organising the first Arduino Miniconf at LCA2010. His books include
"Ubuntu Hacks" and "Practical Arduino".

Jon has been variously referred to as Australia's geekiest man and as
a cyborg-in-progress. As part of his “SuperHouse” home automation
series, Jon has taken keyless entry to an all new level by embedding
an RFID tag into his arm using a vet's chipping tool.

Recently he has been working on ArduSat, a satellite that aims to give
hobbyists, students and space enthusiasts an opportunity to design and
run their own experiments in space. By choosing a standardised
platform based on the hugely popular Arduino hardware design, ArduSat
allows anyone to develop and prototype experiments at home using
readily accessible parts and all based on a simple open source
software environment.

Jon will be presenting an overview of the latest developments to the
ArduSat project as part of his keynote presentation during
linux.conf.au 2014 in Perth, Western Australia.

linux.conf.au is an annual open source conference organised by Linux
Australia. In 2014 the conference will be held in Perth, Western
Australia from the 6th January to the 10th.
