I am organising a Kernel-focused conference for July 2009 - Kernel Conference Australia. The conference will be held at the Queensland Brain Institute, which is a part of the University of Queensland here in Brisbane. We've got some outstanding speakers committed to coming and talking about what they're working on right now: * Jeff Bonwick and Bill Moore (team ZFS) * Sherry Moore (our x64 project lead) * Gavin Maltby (FMA project lead) * Max Alt from Intel (OpenSolaris relationship manager) The Call for Papers closes on 1 May 2009 and registrations will open on 4 May. It's not just a conference about Sun's technologies, it's for any and all Open Source technologies - and focused on the kernel. So OpenSolaris, Linux, the BSD family, Minix, Microkernels are all fair game for discussion. The conference event website is http://au.sun.com/sunnews/events/2009/kernel/index.jsp which has a link to the Call for Papers and info about who to contact for more information - or you could contact me directly :-) For the web2.0-inclined, joining the KCA2009 Facebook event http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/event.php?eid=55116884131&ref=mf would be a good thing. We also have a conference flyer which you can print out, available from http://blogs.sun.com/jmcp/resource/KCA2009_flyer.pdf I look forward to seeing you at the conference. Best regards, James C.
