Press Release. Official Announcement Linux.conf.au <http://linux.conf.au/> 2014 early bird registrations open For immediate Release. The Linux.conf.au <http://linux.conf.au/> 2014 team are pleased to announce that we have now started accepting early bird registrations. According to Luke John, organising director, “The start of registration represents the culmination of a lot of groundwork in planning for the conference and it's a real milestone to be at this point in the process”, “While there's still a lot to do, it's really starting to take shape now, and I'm quietly confident that we've got a great line up of speakers and topics and we are looking forward to an awesome conference”. Paul Del Fante also chipped in to offer encouragement for those of you who may feel a bit daunted by the distances. “It's Perth, it's Summer, we've got a fantastic Linux conference on, warm beaches, balmy evenings, city life, so come on over and share in our hospitality”. The Linux.conf.au <http://linux.conf.au/> 2014 early bird registrations will be open till 2013/10/13, but are for a limited number of places and may close earlier before we move on to the formal registration period, and we'd please ask anyone who registers during this time to keep an eye out for any minor issues or inconsistencies you come across.
