Upcoming talk on Citizen Journalism
December 8, 2008
I’m pleased to confirm that I’m speaking on Citizen Journalism at the “Free as in Freedom” miniconf at Linux.conf.au in Hobart in January. My talk is called “It’s all fun and games until someone wants to sue you: Reporting in the age of citizen journalism.” My talk’s slated for 1.45pm – further details can be found on my “Upcoming Appearances” page.
This event looks like it’s shaping up to be a good one – I’m happy to be sharing the stage with some great speakers talking about their work in ensuring open access to information, including the people behind OpenAustralia.org.
Linux.conf.au 2009 – Call for papers
July 7, 2008
Linux.conf.au is heading down south to Tasmania in 2009, so if you fancy a trip down south and you have some technical knowledge you’d like to share – put your name forward as a speaker! Ben Powell from the “March South” organising team emailed me to let me know that the Call for Papers is now on. Check out the details at the LCA page. You can also suggest a “mini-conf” topic.
I tried to get some more tidbits of news out of him, but could only get this: “We have two international speakers confirmed so far and I’m currently chasing the final one who is likely to be local.” So it looks like they’re continuing the tradition of having 2 overseas keynotes and 1 local keynote. That’s good to hear.
