linux.conf.au 2008

I forgot to mention this when I received the notification a few weeks ago: I'll be speaking at linux.conf.au next January, in Melbourne. Apparently (he says, quickly checking submission email) the tutorial is called "Memory-efficient and fast websites — pick two!" The full schedule of talks won't be up on the website until late-September, apparently, but I'll forget to mention it by then.

This keeps alive my 100% record of having submissions accepted for this particular conference(or maybe it's more than that, since I accidentally had a paper accepted for Brisbane in 2002, when I couldn't attend). :)

It's always a fun gathering, regardless of if I feel like attending lots of talks or just sitting around talking to people I've never met, or only get to see once a year. This year (in Sydney) i went to fewer talks than other years, but still had a great time because I got to talk to more people and learn stuff that way. If you're in the area, it's not a bad way to spend a week.

For people considering attending, there is also a nice collection of mini-conferences shaping up. These are one- or two-day ad hoc events held just prior to the main conference. Worth making time for if you're also coming to the main conference.
