This was announced at the conclusion of the 10th conference in Hobart today. The 2006 conference was hosted at the University of Otago in Dunedin. Three centres - Brisbane, Perth and Wellington - put in bids to host the 2010 event. Both Brisbane and Perth have played host before - Brisbane in 2002 and Perth in 2003. Last year, Hobart pipped Brisbane to host the conference which has just ended. A husband-wife team will head the organising outfit, with Andrew Ruthven being conference director and his wife, Susanne, co-director. The organising team has chosen to call itself the Capital Cabal. The conference will be held at the Wellington Convention Centre and Ruthven said they were looking at attendance of something between 400 and 500. The venue is in the heart of the Wellington CBD. In a media release, Stewart Smith, the president of Linux Australia said: ""Wellington is an excellent location for the increasingly inaccurately named linux.conf.au. The Wellington team is dedicated, understands linux.conf.au and has a real passion to show us something really special in 2010." |
