Is it just me, or is 2023 shaping up to be a relatively light year for tech conferences in ANZ?

@KathyReid do you know if linux.conf.au is still on the cards for this year?

@TassSinclair @KathyReid i think Linuxconf have rebranded as Everything open (https://everythingopen.au/) and moved to a less convenient part of the year
Everything Open | Open Technologies Conference

@TassSinclair hey Tass, as @hermitcl pointed out, notwithstanding the dig at the timing - which is a confluence of factors, #EverythingOpen is on in March, tickets are on sale now. Really strong lineup, keynotes TBA.

@pyconau is on in August in #Kaurna #Tarndanya country in #Adelaide, too.

We're seeing fewer conferences because the conf orgs are burnt out from three years of running online/hybrid confs. Online is just as much work, and hybrid is twice the amount of work.

Everything Open 2023 | Melbourne, Australia

@KathyReid @hermitcl Amazing. Thanks for explaining, and thanks for the links!

I looked at linux.conf.au's socials and news updates; I didn't see any reference of it.

I'll get my ticket organised today!

@TassSinclair @hermitcl that's a good point, they should point to EO
