GNOME.conf.au 2006

Who What Where When Why

GNOME.conf.au is a casual get together for GNOME lovers in Australia to meet with their favourite hackers and discuss all things GNOMEy. Please let us know you're coming by adding your name to list below.

It will be held in room Burns 7 (previously Castle D), on January 24th 2006, in beautiful Dunedin, New Zealand, at the University of Otago in co-operation with Australia's premier Free Software and Open Source developer's conference, linux.conf.au! Check out their site for all the details on the main conference. It's going to be a blast yet again! Note that you must be attending the full conference to be part of the GNOME.conf.au fun (not that you'd seriously consider missing the main event).

Venue and Facilities

Burns 7 is a ... ... classroom. D'oh!

Castle D (which we're not using) is a modern seminar room with maximum occupancy of 38 people. There are two projector screens, a white board, and OHP, a slide projector and a data projection unit available. There is a Windows PC and (possibly) a Mac available, and a VGA cable for your laptop.

JohnWilliams works at Otago University, and his office is a couple of hundred metres from the venue. Email him (jwilliams at gnome dot org) if you have any questions about the facilities or venue.

Accommodation

JohnWilliams: I live all alone (sniff!) in a three bedroom house about 50 minutes walk or five minutes by car from the conference venue. If anyone one of you cool d00d rock-star hax0rs want to sleep on my couch-bed, floor, or mattress-on-floor (and drink beer and play loud rock music) let me know: johnfrombluff@gmail.com.

If that sounds unappealing, mail me anyway if you want advice/local knowledge about good/cheap places to stay.
