Linux.conf.au is one of the key geek gatherings down under. The schedule for next year’s event, which is being held in Wellington (New Zealand, not New South Wales), has now gone live, promising sessions on everything from Wiimote hacking to the impact of Microsoft on open source. Linux.conf.au 2010 takes place from January 18-23, so if you’re contemplating going, it would make sense to get in now while flights are still relatively cheap (registration opens later this month). Lifehacker will be attending — if anything on the schedule looks like a “must-report”, point it up in the comments.
My Must-Report’s:

But to be honest, if I could attend, I’d try to get to a lot more!
