From james at lca2018.org Thu Jul 26 08:22:16 2018 From: james at lca2018.org (James Polley) Date: Thu, 26 Jul 2018 08:22:16 +1000 Subject: [lca2018-announce] Farewell from LCA2018, Say hello to LCA2019 Message-ID: We hope each and every one of you enjoyed the conference and left with something of value to you. As the LCA2019 Christchurch team is ramping up preparations for next year?s conference, we would like to take the opportunity for a final wrap up and say a few thank yous.Videos All of the presentations, tutorials and miniconfs are now online! Linux Australia mirror (mp4 and webm): http://mirror.linux.org.au/pub/linux.conf.au/2018/ Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/linuxconfau2018/featured Raffle Charity - Code Club AU We raised a grand total of just over $9000 during the week for Code Club AU. We hope that you had a chance to talk to the Code Club AU team that were onsite during the week and get a feel for what they do around the country to try and introduce the next generation of people to building software. Carbon Offsets Due to your contributions we have offset a total of $925. This has been forwarded to 15Trees and will see around 215 trees being planted. Thank you to all the volunteers This conference would not be possible each year without a long list of people volunteering and contributing their time. From the core organising team to the room monitors and AV staff during the week, all of us have volunteered our time. This is what being a grassroots event is all about - we are not out to make a profit for ourselves, we do this together because we enjoy what we do and we want to make conferences like this happen. Sponsors The conference would not be possible to run at the price we do it for without our sponsors. IBM were once again a major sponsor, the only sponsor that has been around for every single LCA. LCA2018 would not have been possible without a huge amount of support from UTS. As well as covering the venue hire costs, their staff provided their time and expertise to help with everything from planning the logistics of the event to making sure the wifi worked without a hitch. This is the ITPA?s second year sponsoring the conference. As another volunteer run organisation we are glad that they could be part of the conference. The ITPA is offering free associate-level members for all LCA attendees. For more information visit https://www.itpa.org.au/membership-levels/ LCA2019 Enjoyed watching the talks at LCA2018?
