The Linux.Conf.Au 2004 Sun Microsystems Regional Delegate Programme

linux.conf.au

linux.conf.au 2004 is Australia's national Linux conference; it will be held at The University of Adelaide, from Wednesday 14th to Saturday 17th January 2003. This is the fifth conference of its kind in Australia (following LCA2003 in Perth, LCA2002 in Brisbane, LCA2001 in Sydney, and CALU 1999 in Melbourne).

Regional Delegate Program

Thanks to Sun Microsystems, the linux.conf.au Regional Delegate Programme provides funding for one person from each state and territory in Australia to attend linux.conf.au. The package includes:

Free Professional Registration for linux.conf.au 2004 (this includes, amongst other things, a ticket to the Conference Dinner, and a ticket to the Professional Networking Session)
Return economy air ticket from your closest major airport to Adelaide (for applicants that live outside of Adelaide)
Accommodation at the on-campus lodgings (St. Marks College) for the duration of the main conference (again, for applicants that live outside of Adelaide)

Eligibility

To be eligible for selection as the South Australian Delegate you must be a resident of South Australia. If you live elsewhere, please see the linux.conf.au Regional Delegate Programme page.

In additional to residing in South Australia, you must demonstrate a contribution (however small, and not necessarily in software) to the Linux/Open Source community.

Being involved with LinuxSA is not a requirement for eligibility.
