s to everyone and thank you very much
for buying tickets in the raffle
so why are we here
now we've had a fair bit of mailing list
traffic for those who might know
but there's been a little bit of
controversy but we thought we would
clarify a few things why why not LCA and
why everything open this is a bit of a
complicated question for us and
something that we wanted to expand for
you
yes we agree that the communication
could have been a bit better but you
know we are volunteers so please
remember that
no we're not trying to kill off LCA we
thought that we would do something like
everything open as a natural evolution
of LCA
but we'll break it down a little bit for
you
so with speakers we want to be able to
reflect a broader range of topics and
talks that we've accepted over many
years and it's not just Linux
to be able to call do a call for
sessions to other sectors meant that we
had a broader range of talks submitted
including citizen scientists open
government open education resources open
collections open security open Community
everything open
sponsors our sponsors have Diversified
they're not just about Linux anymore
well for some of them they might be back
to Linux but
they're still open source
we would love
we would love to have you join and
support our conference monsters so
please do come back
at 10 days we want you to create new we
want to create new paths for people to
join we want people to feel welcome to
the conference and to be welcoming
some of us work in different sectors
but most of us work in open source
interestingly the stats say that a third
of our attendees this year are actually
brand new and never been to an LCA
before
foreign
would you like to run something like
this
Linux Australia will be sending out a
call for bids hey Gladstone
of whichever flavor conference you would
like to run
we are committed to everything open in
one form or another
we will publish more of our thoughts
soon and we look forward to continuing
to be the thing that we always think
which is a bit of a success
thank you
and now I'd like to do a final thanks to
our sponsors who have helped to make
this conference what it is
so a big thank you to our emperor
penguin sponsor Google
[Applause]
our other emperor penguin sponsor IBM
Arnett who came on board as our emperor
Network partner

and and VOIP Embellishments
thank you also to our contributors
Hamish Coleman and the typo III
Association
we'll be planning a number of trees soon
thanks to 15 trees
[Applause]
so as president of Linux Australia I'd
like to say thank you to everyone for
coming along and for actually letting us
put on this conference
I want to invite a couple of past
presidents up to the stage to say a few
words
hello hello
isn't it great to be back in person and
see seeing our old friends again yeah
oh you might
get confused about uh who was who
earlier mother can tell us apart
actually yeah it's a bit redundant
having us both here
um as best as I can tell I'm just here
to make sure Hugh doesn't break into
song
uh I've already been upstage quite
wonderfully absolutely
uh it is no small feat to put on an
event like this as you can imagine there
are dozens
um of people behind the scenes making
this run so smoothly and so well uh Joel
and Sarah will thank them all very
shortly but we are here to thank Joel
and Sarah who without them without their
initiation we wouldn't be here we
wouldn't have an event this year and we
wouldn't get to see our lovely friends
and family so please join us in thanking
them
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
thank you
synchronized honey
yeah I haven't got a whole lot to add to
that other than um
Mitchell there's a few of us here that
have been most of the most the lcos and
most that many of the predecessor events
to this but um I think I might be the
only person that's actually been to all
of all the previous lcas and I can see
continually found myself sort of
creating LCA no actually well everything
open and
I I guess my own view both as a past
president and long-term participant in
the community is I think in many
respects have got to the point now where
the joy in the joyful experience I've
just had over the last three days as
everything is over it's really
indistinguishable to last few lcas so we
are kind of at that point of
names and semantics
right three years ago yeah if we those
of you doing the Gold Coast it'd be
really interesting look at the the talks
and so forth between the two and I think
you find that diversity was pretty
similar between the two so perhaps we
have finally got to the point where we
just reset resetting
cooled everything open and go on there
Merry way at the end of the day it's a
name right
the point of me standing here was in
addition to had some own thanks was just
to please encourage you as a community
to consider putting forward a proposal
for the next event so we do have one I
hear Gladstone's really
still
the canberra's also nice as well so who
knows
but um again please please join us in
thanking our lovely organizers event and
uh put a bit in so we have one next year
[Applause]
[Music]
so one thing that Linux Australia is
here for is to put on a number of events
so I'd like to invite up
Matt send you to talk about pycon Au
2023
[Applause]
we are having python AU 2023 uh it's
going to be in Adelaide
[Music]
um next slide please
[Applause]
got the slides thank you uh August 2022
18th to the 22nd on the banks of the
karawira Pari River
next slide uh we've got some specialist
tracks They are literally being
confirmed today so I haven't put them on
here but uh what we've got so far is
we've got the education track a track
called our connected Universe which is
going to be talking about API things uh
we're having djangocon Au and some track
around data something something
um that'll all be hopefully announced on
our website pretty soon
um next slide
um those are all of the rest of our
details uh we've got sponsorship
um check the sponsor link uh the call
for papers will be early April probably
and um the registration will probably be
early June we're still finalizing dates
but uh final slide I think
um we've got a mailing list on
pluckon.org.au we are on Mastodon at
pythonau fosterdon.org and we are also
on the quitters and I think that that's
me thank you very much
[Applause]
and now we'd like to invite another Josh
because we don't have enough Josh's to
talk about the session selection
committee
thanks Sarah
uh many years ago when I was in sort of
a blind panic arranging what is a
completely unrelated conference
um somebody very wise came to me and
said that when you strip away the
dinners and the competitions and the
schwag what a conference needs is three
things and it's organizers a venue and
speakers
um
you could run a conference with many
things without many things but you can't
run without speakers and I think all of
us would agree that the 50 odd speakers
that we've had this week at everything
open have just been amazing
um their talks have been terrific and I
want to just acknowledge for a minute
and take a time to appreciate just how
invaluable they all are so please give
me a round of applause for them
[Applause]
[Music]
so now that we've all just collectively
acknowledged how important speakers are
I'm going to ask something from every
person out there and that's that later
this year you'll get an email saying
your favorite open source conference is
now accepting talk proposals
we can do a couple of things when we see
that email we can be excited by it or we
can do what a lot of us do and we can
tell ourselves that we will get to it
later this week and then we find it two
months later after the the closure has
already come and gone
or we can tell ourselves a lie and say I
don't have anything worth talking about
and all of us here
are working in passionate about open
areas we all have something that will be
interesting to other people we don't
always think that it will be interesting
but if we're passionate about it there's
a hundred other people who are out there
that are passionate about it as well
on behalf of the section session
selection committee that's really hard
to say
um I would invite or would ask every one
of you take 10 minutes when that email
comes out
and just consider what it is that you're
working on it might be in your job it
might be in a side gig it might just be
a hobby
if you're passionate about it other
people will be too and taking the 10
minutes to write up even just a basic uh
talk proposal is an easy way to
contribute back to what is just an
amazing conference and you can be a part
of it too speakers aren't some Elite
group that that get tapped upon every
year to to get trotted out and talk
about things they're us each and every
one of us so please do consider when
that email coming comes out not just
ignoring it but putting something
together that you think others would be
excited to see and be a part of as well
thanks
foreign
thank you and would also like to thank
the session selection committee and it's
not an easy feat going through all of
them
um they take at least well for me it
took at least 45 minutes each and
there's a lot of talks that get
submitted and we don't ever want to say
no to anyone but we've had amazing talks
this year
the next person that well another group
of people
yes
sorry Sarah said she was going to talk
to this one oh did I oops
but anyway I would like to thank the
three people up on here Matt Josh and
Sarah for being part of our safety team
it's an important job to take on it can
be difficult at times and I want to
thank them for looking after that and
thank all of you for following the code
of conduct during this week
[Applause]
and we would like to thank Jenny Cox
who's not here today but Neil's lovely
wife designed this logo in homage to the
last Melbourne conference and it's a
beautiful tangram bird that sort of
shows an evolution of where we were at
in 2008 so thank you to Jenny
I'd like to thank our four keynote
speakers thank you to Hugh sep Lindsay
and Rebecca
they're all great talks and I'm looking
forward to watching the few that I
missed on the recordings very soon
thank you also to our 50-ish speakers
over the last three days your talks were
excellent and I know that everyone
appreciated you putting together those
talks and presenting them here over the
last three days
foreign
we would next like to thank MC for being
very patient with us and very kind and
just welcoming us to this wonderful
venue and the muffins were amazing so
thank you and the ice cream
and we'd also like to thank our av
provider Citrix and next day video for
the wonderful AV
thank you
the talk recordings will be available
pretty soon soon on the Linux Australia
mirror and YouTube as well
but all of our
could all the volunteers please stand up
where they are
there's a lot of work that goes into
running the event over the course of the
three days that we've had I want to
thank all of our volunteers for running
around the venue sitting in rooms
recording talks and so on over the last
few days so please join me in thanking
all of them for volunteering this week
[Music]
foreign
[Music]
to the rest of the core organizing team
could you please come up here
so
when we started doing this
pretty much in June last year when we
decided that we should probably try to
do something
um these people came on board and put in
a whole lot of effort to make a
conference actually come together in a
very short time frame so I really want
to thank everyone so thank you to Sarah
for agreeing to
do it again for some stupid reason
and I'd like to thank Joel for doing it
yet again for another stupid reason so
thank you to Jonathan Clinton Neil and
Steve for joining us every week as we
planned it all out and for putting on
such a great event
thank you
[Music]
and finally I want to thank all of you
for coming along it's been a challenging
couple of years having all of the events
online we certainly heard the feedback
that people wanted to come back in
person and I know it's been difficult to
do that but we have put something on I
hope you all enjoyed it and it was great
to be able to see you all in person
again
thank you very much for coming and with
that the conference is over
[Applause]
[Music]
