Are you offering to organise? I am an Adelaide local and I could organise it, however I am also organising "educationaLinux 2004" (the Australian annual educational Linux conference thing). I could direct both but I don't want to spread myself too thinly. > One must wonder, though, if we take too many topics into special > mini-conferences, what will be left for the main conference?? That's a point. However there seems to be so much one could talk about, discuss and learn about the Linux kernel that you could easily spend the whole _week_ on it alone. > I understand that Perth LCA had many more submissions than they could > accept.

Or we could carefully pitch the "Mini Conference" to people who were technical people who understand kernel code [i.e. make it a really, really technical thing] and the conference at a slightly lesser, but still technical, level.
