linux.conf.au is one of the world's best conferences for free and open source software!

Now in its 11th year, linux.conf.au attracts some of the brightest minds from the southern and northern hemisphere – a major annual event in the conference calendar.

In January 2010, linux.conf.au will be visiting Wellington, New Zealand, home of the little blue penguin or Kororā as they are called in Māori, New Zealand's indigenous language. What better place to bring the world's biggest gathering of Linux enthusiasts?

As the Monday night of Linux Australia conference (LCA 2010) was left free, and by popular demand, a Tweetup has been set up for the Monday. Geeks (and Tweeps) from far and wide are converging on Wellington so why not take advantage?

VENUE CHANGE: We're now going to meet at The Green Man Pub - http://www.thegreenmanpub.co.n... - as they have improved accessibility for some of our attendees.

Early start should suite Wellington workers, and folks can combine dinner/tweetup and get back home at a decent hour for family and early morning.
