Open Solaris Mini Conf - Melbourne
DavidLloyd
Hi There,
My name is David Lloyd and I'm a reasonably well known member of the
Australian Linux community, especially in Adelaide. I've helped
organise "linux.conf.au 2004" where I coordinated all the catering and
social events, "EducationaLinux 2004" and I've been quite active in the
community in SA.
I'm formulating the idea of holding an Open Solaris Mini Conference at
Melbourne's LCA in 2008 and am receiving reasonable feedback that the
LCA team in 2008 would support such a mini-conference. I'd also be
inclined to seek support from: AUUG, OSIA and Linux Australia itself
seeing as it seems to be the "de facto" peak open source body in this
country.
The purpose of the conference would be to bring together people to talk
about:
* Technical aspects of Open Solaris
* Business aspects of Open Solaris
All of the Open Solaris communities would be willing to participate (so
talks could be about Solaris Community Express, Nexenta, dtrace,
Solaris advocacy etc etc).
Do we think this would be a good idea?

(I *assume* that a way to contact me will appear in this post, but if
it doesn't, can someone say so in a reply on the group so that I can
fix that?)

I'm working with folks from HUMBUG (www.humbug.org.au)
to get OSDC 2007 (www.osdc.com.au) held in Brisbane.
Having an OpenSolaris miniconf there too would be great.
cheers,
