Yeah, I broke the registration process when I rolled out some bugfixes last night, but I’ve fixed them now! Continue in your merry scramble for tickets to the ROCKIN’EST FREE AND OPEN SORES GIG IN THE SOUTH.
(In unrelated news, can you think of a good reason why they shouldn’t go to lca2007?
Registrations to LCA 2007 are now open! Get in quick!
Last night the Seven met, as they do, around a dark table, deep below the city in a room built by the Templar Knights; surrounded, as normal, by ancient iconography of power and knowledge. Their goal: a draft programme for LCA 2007.
We ranked the streams in order of popularity; nothing too scientific, based purely on presenter name and subject matter, what would likely draw the biggest crowds?
Then with that ordering, we’d go through the streams, picking off the top of all lists, and putting them in the biggest room. Repeat for the next one in the next talk slot, offsetting them so that no two venues would carry the same stream at the same time.
By the end of it, we had a nice patchwork quilt.
I don’t think we’re done with it, yet, but it’s a good start!
The response to the CFP has been massive! Right now our reviewers are starting to read the torrent of submissions…
Holy shit!
Reading through some of the titles and abstracts, theres a lot of really awesome stuff that people have been working on, I’m really excited about what the programme is going to look like!
Unfortunately, we’re going to have to reject a lot of these :( On the upside, it does mean that the stuff that does make it through is going to be so mindblowingly awesome that you can’t afford not to be at linux.conf.au 2007!
Rock!
