Linuxconf.Au Needs Papers & Join In 55
We usually don't post stories about specific shows and such, but since I'm hoping to attend this one, and it will be a continent I've never been, I thought folks would like to know that Linux.conf.au is going to be happening February 6-9, in Brisbane, Australia. They've got the call for papers up and everything -- hope to see you there.

Looking forward to this. (Score:1, Interesting)
Considering the valuable area of research that linux constitutes not only to OS researchers, but to compter science as a whole, I can see this conference being much, much more than just a self-congratulatory exercise in advocacy. Truly, lunix.conf.au is further proof that the world isn't losing faith in free software.
It is vitally important that anyone with a shred of useful linux knowledge show their support either by attending, or providing their knowledge in a paper or seminar. I'll certainly be heading to Vienna for this! Hopefully I will see you there.

A rather interesting fact ... they recently put on
HPCAsia 2001 [qpsf.edu.au] where they revealed that Brisbane has not one, but THREE Virtual Reality facilities (UQ, QMI, Boeing). According to their blurb [uq.edu.au], they're involved in the Japanese Whole Earth Simulator (4 Teraflops), something called a Virtual Reef, as well as using it for designing their scramjets [uq.edu.au]. Actually after rummaging around the AUUG website [auug.org.au] a more interesting workshop to attend would be their security symposium [auug.org.au] in Nov.

Visit us [linux.org.au] for a few weeks. We'll show you exotic. (-:
The only problem with Oz in terms of exotic, and WestOz in particular, is that it's so large that you need months to even visit the highlights, let alone take in and really explore much. We can show you the world's best beaches, red deserts that make Dakota look pale, lush tropical rainforests, soaring views across rugged ranges, the kind of unbelievable fishing normally associated with pacific islands, magnificent caves and sinkholes, rock made entirely out of sponges, the world's best grapes, more golf courses per capita than anywhere else in the world, and so on... about the only touristy things WA's missing are a set of Andes or Himalayas (with ski runs), and thousands of years of ambitious architecture (although we do have our share of mysterious stepped pyramids and the like, not a well known thing).

Oh man. Don't do that. I swear within nanoseconds of seeing "WestOZ" I leaped to the link spinning with joy that a *I* can actually afford to go to a linux conf. It's In bloody Sydney. Eastern staters get everything
Oh well. I'm going to dig a hole now. What *else* is there to do here in Perth
Things to do in Perth (Score:2)
Surf [wa.gov.au], snorkel, chase rats around an island [wa.gov.au], attend PLUG [linux.org.au] meetings (you slacker!) and help organise conferences, rock climbing and abseiling [wa.gov.au], caving (or combine sports [iinet.net.au]), bushwalking (do the Bibbulman [bibbulmuntrack.org.au] if you're bored) including tall timber country, the vineyards [perthweb.net.au], visit the animals at one of the many wildlife [cavershamwildlife.com.au] parks [cohunu.com.au] or the zoo [wa.gov.au], play golf [golfingwest.com.au], heaps of other stuff [onlinewa.com.au].
Of course, home [westernaustralia.net] is even better.

I live in Brisbane, and I must say this is bloody fantastic. I'm a student and travel is out of my scope for the time being; I've been hanging out for a decent sized Linux event for a long time. I will definitely be there.
Does anyone know who is going to be speaking or any other details? I checked the site [linux.org.au] and I couldn't find any specifics as yet.
