[Announce] linux.conf.au, Perth Australia, January 2003

[Jacqueline McNally]

Hi

I'm in Perth, and not as heavily involved as I was in the conference 
committee but I am one of the organisers albeit now a peripheral one. I 
participated in the lead up to our successful bid, and initial launch. This 
is mostly in the area of promotion - hah!, failed miserably here by not 
letting the LinuxChix know :(

The organising committee are beavering away to ensure a content rich and 
fun event. If there is anything that you wish to know about Linux.conf.au, 
Perth or Western Australia that is not covered on 
http://conf.linux.org.au/, send an email to 
lca-organisers at conf.linux.org.au for a reply from any one of the committee, 
or feel free to contact me on jacqueline at decisions-and-designs.com.au. And 
yes, encourage people to respond to the call for papers.

So far, I know of one LinuxChix that is planning to come from the northern 
hemisphere :)

I look forward to the opportunity to welcome all LinuxChix to Perth.

All the best
Jacqueline McNally
