Technical Topics in Computing

A placeholder organization for events run by Michael Still.

Made by Mikal

Recently I’ve been feeling like I've been missing the chance to hear about cool technical projects people are working on in a depth not possible at a CLUG meeting because of time constraints.
Many years ago, AUUG used to run a weekend "summer conference" that was almost free and addressed some of this issue. That conference died a natural death when <A HREF="http://linux.conf.au/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">linux.conf.au</A> got big, but I think maybe it's time to bring that back.
So, I am running a simple weekend meetup in Canberra. I would make it free, but I feel like the no-show rate is lower for events which charge a token amount. I'm thinking something like $20 is small enough not to be painful, but enough that people will value their tickets. Any profit would be donated to some form of community group at the end, but I haven’t picked one yet.
The Saturday of the event will be organized talks, with the goal of the talks being to inspire attendees to have a hack on a new project on the second day of the weekend. The second day is an unstructured hackfest to explore whatever is interesting after the talks of the previous day. I think reserving the Saturday evening for board games and general “hanging out” sounds like fun too.
