Linux.conf.au 2004 Registrations Now Open 14
TRS-80 writes "Get ready, because registrations for Linux.conf.au 2004 are now open. With speakers including Bdale, Maddog, Havoc and of course Tridge, 6 mini-conferences beforehand, including Linux Audio, IPv6, and of course Debian, the opportunity to take LPI exams, and a Partners' Programme featuring the sights of Adelaide, it's going to be HUGE! Register early, because it's going to fill up quickly if previous LCAs are any guide."

Seriously, there have been heaps of papers submitted, and selecting which ones get the nod is a hard task being finalised as I type. I'm just hoping I'm one of them! (I submitted a paper, and I'm expecting to hear in the next few days what the outcome is).
Judging by previous LCAs, the sessions will be great (with the possible exception of mine). Trust me.

When you're driving there, do take the speed limit signs seriously. Violating 25km/h speed zones is an instant $200 fine, and a yellow curb with a person on it is a 25km/h speed zone 24x7.

What is this Leon, scare tactics? I've lived in South Australia 2^5 years and I've never seen any such things!

As an Adelaide driver/cyclist, Let me give a few tips on things for tourists to watch out for.
If you're on a bike, the drivers aren't actually out to kill you. They're just not particularly concerned about your survival unless you look like you'd scratch their paint if they hit you.
