Fairy Penguin Sponsors

The Fairy Penguin Penguin sponsorship is designed for those who wish to attend lca2011 as a Professional Delegate as well as supporting LCA2011 by contributing financially to lca2011. In recognition of this support, the Fairy Penguin Sponsors logos and links are published on the Sponsors page and they have the opportunity to have a table at the Open Day.

To become a Fairy Penguin Sponsor, simply register as a Fairy Penguin, or email sponsor@lca2011.linux.org.au for more information.

Professional

The Professional rate is the standard conference rate. This rate applies to most people who have their companies pay the conference fees and charge it as a professional development expense, or for individuals who can legitimately claim it is a tax deduction. The benefits of a Professional registration include attendance at the Professional Delegates Networking Session (which is designed for people to network, not TCP/IP networking!), extra goodies in the swag bag, and a listing as a Professional Delegate on our website.

Hobbyist

The Hobbyist rate is heavily discounted for free software enthusiasts who are paying out of their own pockets and would otherwise find it difficult to attend.

Student

This concession rate is reserved for College or University Students. lca2011 offers this rate as a form of investment in the future of the free and open source software community. As part of the registration process, a valid student ID card or proof of enrolment must be presented to the onsite registration desk. Any Student who cannot provided this will be required to register at LCA2011 as a hobbyist by paying the difference in fees between the Student rate and the Hobbyist rate.

Volunteers

linux.conf.au would not be as successful as it is, without having a dedicated team of volunteers to help run the conference. If you're interested in spending the week of LCA2011 helping run the conference, please register as a volunteer.

If you are interested in becoming a volunteer, please sign up on our Volunteers Registration page and join the Volunteers Mailing List.

Hobbyists and Students who elect to volunteer will receive discounted rates. Hobbyists willing to devote at least 50% of their time to the conference may register at the applicable Student rate, while students willing to devote 100% of their time to the conference will receive free admission. These special prices will be made available once your volunteer registration has been received and processed.

Media

There are a limited number of Media Passes available to media personnel. Media Passes are free of charge, and entitle media personnel to attend LCA2011 with all the entitlements of a Professional registration. Please note, due to the limited numbers of Media Passes available, all Media Passes will need to be approved by the lca2011 Organisers.

To apply for a Media Pass, please contact media@lca2011.linux.org.au after reading our Terms and Conditions.

Accommodation

lca2011 Organisers have negotiated discounted accommodation rates with some of the local accommodation providers.

Please note, registration on the lca2011 website DOES NOT book your accommodation. Please note, you must book your accommodation directly through the accommodation providers.
