The dates for LCA2004 in Adelaide (South Australia) have now been finalised, and the Amazing Touring Debian Miniconf Orchestra And Review is about to get underway all over again.
There's much more to follow, but preliminary info is online at www.debconf.org/miniconf3/ As with previous events, the Debian Miniconf is being run as a prelude to Linux Conf Australia (lca2004.linux.org.au). Anyone who registers for LCA is welcome to come along and spend a couple of extra days hanging out with fellow Debianites. The last Miniconf was great fun and showed how strongly Debian is represented among very technical Linux users, with fully a third of the attendees at LCA also turning up for the Debian Miniconf! A survey at LCA showed Debian was by far the dominant distro, with RedHat a distant second much to Alan Cox's dismay. So if you can possibly make it to Adelaide next January, do it. You won't regret it. Also, while I've already got a couple of speakers lined up I'm going to need quite a few more, so if you've got an idea for a presentation just pop along to www.debconf.org/miniconf3/cfp/ and submit a paper proposal. See you there! Jonathan
