Most people probably aren’t aware that a few months ago I became Head Technical Guru as part of the seven team organising linux.conf.au 2007. All blame for this shall lie solely with Pia.
<Pia> Hey John are you still interested in helping out with the conference?
<John> Yeah sure
<Pia> Cool. Can you come to a meeting tonight at my place?
<John@meeting> Pia, why are you writing my name down on the seven page?
The next months are going to be pretty interesting. Those who know me well will know it’s not like I had much else going on :).
Basically it’s my job to organise all the technical infrastructure and make sure it works, this includes
- Internet Connectivity
- Wireless Access
- AV Team – Streaming, Publishing of videos etc (This team is being run by Silvia)
- Random other servers for things like the website, IRC, portal etc
In the next few weeks I’ll be gearing up towards a much clearer plan as to what actually needs doing and then I’ll be looking for volunteers so if you are interested in helping out whether it be during the conference setting things up or during the lead up hacking on code to make all the infrastructure work then please let me know.
