Super excited to welcome Linux Australia as a sponsor for the Write the Docs Australia 2024 conference. Thanks for your support for our documentation community Down Under! Linux Australia is the peak body of Open Source communities in Australia, representing Australian users and developers of Free Software and Open Technologies. It facilitates internationally-renowned events including Everything Open, PyCon AU, Kiwi PyCon, DrupalSouth and WordCamps in Australia. Everything Open will be coming to Adelaide, Australia in January 2025. This grassroots, community run conference offers technical deep dives, talks and tutorials on many open technologies topics, including Linux, open source software, open hardware, GLAM, open data and much more. There will also be content on building and managing communities around open technologies.
