Conferences, Speakers and Lightning Talks Oh My!

 Just a quick note to let you, dear reader, know a couple of things:

LCA2011 Paper Submissions

The traditional extension to the linux.conf.au paper submission process is going to close at the end of tomorrow (14th August 2010). So if you've got any last minute brain waves or inspirations get in quick.

LGWN10

For the second year in a row I'm going to be helping out with the audio recordings and general organisation of the Local Government Web Network Conference.

LGWN10 represents the only (as far as I know) grass roots conference aimed specifically at those working with the web from within the Local Government sector. It's constantly evolving and this year the morning sessions have been dedicated to four Local Government case studies, ranging from metro Councils such as Pittwater (who's going to be talking about how they pitched the use of Social Media to their senior management) to regional Councils such as Tamworth (who will be walking us through their migration from an eggs in one basket portal site policy to  a more flexible online presence policy).

All in all it's going to be an excellent conf :)
