The lca2011 Team has been working hard over the last few months, since the announcement in Wellington, and have some great plans under way to make LCA2011 a conference to remember. It will be fun, informal, seriously technical and in 2011 it will also cater to a range of end users including those new to the opensource community.

The dates have been moved by a few days and are now confirmed as January 24th to January 28th with an open day on the 29th. It will be located at the Queensland University of Technology (QUT), Gardens Point campus directly opposite the South Bank parklands and located within the Brisbane CBD.

In recognising the experience of previous LCA attendees, and more importantly their ideas on how to make LCA better, we ran a competition to capture these ideas and reward the best ideas with prizes! The winners announced here all made suggestions about providing a different type of experience for the new members in our community.

These winners suggested that LCA feature a stream or segment that focuses on the end user and/or people just beginning to explore the FOSS world. Each of these people will receive a minor prize of a special T-Shirt for this years LCA. The winners are:

Lisa Sands Jayen Asher David Walter Hamish Taylor Michael Clark

Congratulations to the winners, each of them will be contacted with further details of their prize.

Please continue to watch this space as we release new announcements and provide more details about our plans for 2011 as well as more winners from our competition.
