linux.conf.au

It is a roaming conference, held in a different Australian or New Zealand city every year, coordinated by Linux Australia and organised by local volunteers.

Although several online events were ran post-COVID, since 2023 Linux Australia has instead auspiced Everything Open.

This is a shorter three-day conference that follows a similar format - but without the additional two days of Miniconfs.

This was based upon the idea that DebConf 1 in Bordeaux was a "mini-conf" of the French Libre Software Meeting.

Miniconfs have included those devoted to computer programming, education, security, multimedia, arduino and system administration.
