As an added bonus, the LCA2014 team just announced that even if your
proposal isn't selected, you can still win a 'Golden Ticket' (i.e. a free
pass to attend the conference at the 'professional' ticket level) just by
submitting a proposal - http://linux.conf.au/media/news/26 They will pick
one person who submitted a proposal that doesn't get selected and give them
a freebie to go to the conference anyway, excellent!

So if you had an idea kicking around the back of your brain but for
whatever reason haven't put electrons to screen, now is the time. You can
submit until this Saturday (6th July).


Cheers,
