Linux.conf.au 2005 Registrations Open

Semi Anonymous Coward writes "Linux.conf.au 2005 registrations opened recently and they are offering substantial discounts to people who register before 1st of February 2005. Linux.conf.au is Australia's national Linux conference. LCA 2005 will be held at the Australian National University from Monday April 18 to Saturday April 23, 2005. Everyone should come along, the conference is insanely cheap and a load of fun. I had so much fun at Linux.conf.au 2004 that I'm giving a talk this year!"

Linus in a speedo?

Linus Torvalds has even turned up a couple of times. You never know what he's going to be dressed in; one year it was a penguin suit, another year speedos.

Is this true? If so, does anyone have a link to the penguin suit pictures? You can keep the speedo link to yourself, thank you very much...

However modded that down...

Linus in a penguin suit...

...lives on the LinuxAus server [linux.org.au]. Lots more than Linus, too. LA's current El Presidente in a VR suit. One of Linus and Tove's daughters in the head. Runes inside the suit. Rusty waving a laptop in a threatening manner. (-:

Suit stitched by my wife, her sister and a Chilean friend named Cecilia. Suit was balanced and padded to make the posture and waddle work right. Big sell job to get Linus into the suit by Tony Breeds-Taurima, LA Committee candidate and LCA2005 organiser (as well as LCA2003 organiser, PLUG [linux.org.au]
