Koki gave me the heads up on an upcoming Linux Conference in Australia that is run by Linux Australia.

I enquired if one of their mini-conference rooms was available, but unfortunately, they are not. The closing date for submissions for these rooms was in July - I've diarized that for next year, however, we have been asked to sign up for a Birds of a Feather session.

"We will have some rooms available at the conference to run Birds of a Feather (BoF) sessions during the week. You will be able to book a BoF space at the conference proper and I'd like to invite you to do so."

With that in mind, I started putting together some prices on what it would cost to get to this event and put it on:-

Item||Cost
Accomodation||$35 per Night to $150 per Night
Flights||$178 Return from Brisbane
Food||$20 to $100 per Day

I estimate about $350 AU to $450 AU for myself to travel from Brisbane to Melbourne and stay for two days. Of course, I'll have to get the time off work as well.
