Conference Programme Announced

This year linux.conf.au, Australia's premier open source conference, has broken with tradition and
released their draft programme (http://linux.conf.au/programme/schedule) and partner's programme
(http://linux.conf.au/programme/partners) schedules before registrations open on 1 October.

The conference will feature six streams of talks across five days. The first two days will be for
miniconferences, with the rest of the conference dedicated to eighty-four talks and six tutorials,
on topics ranging from software engineering to systems administration. This year, there is a heavy
focus on deep technical content, including many talks on the Linux kernel, and various hardware
platforms. The conference also boasts four keynotes from pivotal industry figures, which will be
announced in the next few months.

The partner's programme has become a traditional element of linux.conf.au, but this is the first
year to announce a draft schedule before tickets for the programme go on sale. The partner's
programme consists of a family friendly tour of tourist attractions around Canberra.

Conference Director Michael Still said "releasing the schedule for the conference is a significant
milestone and I'm very pleased that we hit it ahead of our internal timeline. We are also proud to
have a series of simply fantastic presenters this year, and expect to be presenting a solid
conference that offers great value for money."

Early bird registrations for the conference open on 1 October, and discounted tickets will be
available until sold out. The number of early bird tickets is strictly limited, and they usually
sell out very quickly. Delegates will need to get in quickly after 1 October to make sure they get
the best deal.
