So here I am after a few WONDERFUL days with Jeff and Glynn going from Christchurch, to the glaciers on the west coast, Wanak, Puzzling World! (sooo much fun! :), Archery, and then “Sledging” which is basically White Water boogie boarding for 10kms. Awesome fun. We got into Dunedin at 9.20pm last night.
So now it is Monday morning and I’m in the education mini-conf which is pretty interesting. I’ve heard from one of The INGOTS guys which was very interesting, it is proving to be a great certificaton for schools and office computer users. I’m also heard a bunch about Plone from Julie Kosakowski which was interesting, and now about Moodle. I unfortunately missed Damian Conways “Presentation Skills” talk, but I’ll have to catch it later. I give a talk about the research project I’m working on, the Australian Special Knowledge for Open Source Software (ASK-OSS), which is a great project, and something anyone can get involved in. That’ll be tomorrow afternoon, last thing. I’m looking forward to Donna and Kathryns talks today and tomorrow. I’m also going to drop into the Digital Arts mini-conf as that looks awesome. I highly recommend coming along to the Digital Arts jam performance tonight.
The main conference looks great, and Mike and the lca2006 organising team are doing a great job. We’ve also had an interview with the local rag, the Otago Daily Times and there will be photos and everything, so again, grab the paper over the coming few days. Well done all! There will be a few surprises this year which will be fun, so keep an eye out 😉
