Finished linux.conf.au

Well it's all over and it was totally rocking. The only major disappointments were that I had a bad case of the flu the entire time (and possibly infected the other delegates) and that I had seen every one of the Best Of talks.

Highlights were Eben Moglen, tridge "reverse engineering" bitkeeper on stage in a few lines of shell, and seeing a bunch of HP people from around Australia and Ft Collins. Eben's talk was almost like a political rally (which I guess in some sense it was) with most of the audience caught in his spell and breaking in to spontaneous applause often.

Muchos thanks to the organisers and volunteers! Congratulations on a very successful conference. Next year's LCA is in Dunedin, New Zealand which looks like a very beautiful location.
