Our first Emperor Sponsor...

One of the highest priorities of the LCA 2015 team has been to have as much local involvement as possible. Yes, this is linux.conf.au but it will be in Auckland! We're really excited about that so couldn't wait another minute to announce our first Emperor Sponsor - Catalyst IT.

We are so thrilled! The team at Catalyst IT has already made a significant contribution to the preparation of our conference and have gone out of their way, giving more than just financial support, to ensure that LCA 2015 is a success. Their overall contribution has been invaluable - and now this!

Catalyst says: "linux.conf.au is the jewel in the crown for open source conferences in the Southern Hemisphere. We are delighted to be able to support this event for the Open Source community and the Catalyst team is very much looking forward to starting 2015 by catching up with other technologists and geeks, sharing and learning, and contributing to the growth of free and open source software."

Scheduled to be held at the University of Auckland from the 12th to the 16 January 2015, linux.conf.au is widely regarded by delegates as one of the best community run Linux conferences worldwide. Each year open source geeks from across the globe gather in Australia or New Zealand to meet their fellow technologists, share the latest ideas and innovations, and spend a week discussing and collaborating on open source projects.

linux.conf.au is continuing to seek sponsorship for the event, with several sponsorship levels still available. However, sponsorship seats are filling up fast! If your company is interested in becoming a sponsor, then act quickly and contact sponsors@lca2015.linux.org.au

We look forward to a successful LCA 2015, and we thank Catalyst IT for their involvement, enthusiasm and generous support.
