Kernel Conference Australia - Call for Papers deadline approaching

["James C. McPherson" <James.McPherson%Sun.COM@localhost>]

Greetings!

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

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

you can print out, available from

I look forward to seeing you at the conference.


Best regards,
James C. McPherson
