[plug] Fw: Australian Open Source Symposium

[Bret Busby]

What are the differences between the above, and a Linux Conference 
(apart from the presentations being shorter, and the event being 
shorter)?

I would have thought that it would have been better to have had both the 
program and the registration/attendance fees, published at this stage, 
given that the event is only a month away, to increase public awareness 
and attendance. If a person wanted to convince an employer, that the 
event is worthwhile for the employer to sponsor the employee to attend 
the event (or to give the employee time off to attend the event), or, 
for self-employed (contractors, etc), to determine whether to attend the 
event and make arrangements to be available to attend the event (if any 
of these classes of people are appropriate to attend the event), I would 
think that at least a month's notice of the details, would be required, 
to investigate the suitability, and to make arrangements or justify 
attendance.
