What's stopping you from celebrating #sfday2025 or doing install fests in your own area? Linux Australia enables and facilitates event teams - providing infrastructure for people to do awesome things.

Hey there, great to hear you love Linux!
@everythingopen.au ran recently in Adelaide - it's a different conference to linux.conf.au - fewer days, broader topics - but just as great - stay tuned for where it's headed in 2026.

Most positions are contested, so your vote really does matter for shaping the future of open source in Australia, and for the oversight of events such as @everythingopen.au , #PyConAU, #DrupalSouth, #WordCamp and #PurpleCon.

Terms on the Linux Australia Council are for one year, from January to January. Each role is voluntary, and comes with a time commitment, however provides robust professional experience, over-seeing a multi-million-dollar, well-established organisation.

As an incorporated association in NSW, the organisation is governed by a 7-member board, which we call the Council, which includes four Office Bearer roles (President, Vice-President, Secretary and Treasurer) and 3 ordinary committee members (OCMs).
