Fun and sun down under: Day one at Linux.conf.au
It took more than 17 hours in planes and a trip through customs, but I've made the trek from Denver, Colorado, to Sydney, Australia, for Linux.conf.au (LCA) 2007. Already it looks like the trip was worthwhile.
Linux.conf.au (or "Linux.con f.au," as it says on our misprinted hats) is a roving conference held annually in different locations around Australia. This year, the conference returned to Sydney at the Kensington campus of the University of New South Wales, where the first Linux.conf.au was held.
Jeff Waugh, one of the LCA organizers and someone who is known for his work with GNOME and Ubuntu, kicked off the proceedings with a short talk about the history of the conference and offered advice for attendees to get through the conference healthy and sane.
The first two days of LCA 2007 are dedicated to miniconfs.

Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |
