First day of Linux.conf.au has been a lot of fun. Monday was all “miniconfs,” which is topics that aren’t part of the “main” LCA programme, but pretty good stuff nonetheless. I attended the open source in business miniconf and gave my talk on promoting open source projects. Seems to have gone over OK, though I probably need to re-re-work it and add more funny.

As usual, the LCA volunteers have done a bang-up job of organizing the conference. Really impressed by the stuffed “Tuz” that I got with registration — it’s a 3D implementation of this cute fella. Knowing what goes into getting plush toys made, I’m deeply impressed they pushed this through design, production, and delivery in the space of a year or so. (It might sound like a lot of time, but it really is a time-consuming process, and remembering that the folks doing it are volunteers… well, I’m impressed.)

Had a great time last night going to dinner with other LCA attendees at The Drunken Admiral restaurant in Hobart. (Highly recommended if you find yourself in Hobart, Tasmania…)

Will be catching up on email today, hopefully.
