“The man behind the next Australian national Linux
conference is an academic, a retiring type not exactly prone to
bluff and bluster. He and his team are quietly getting things ready
for the last week of January 2011 when a host of geeks will
converge on Brisbane for the 12th LCA, the second to be held in the
city since the conference was first held in 1999.“Dr Shaun Nykvist, a senior lecturer at the school of
mathematics, science and technology education at the Queensland
University of Technology, says the idea of hosting the LCA in
Brisbane again – the conference was organised there in 2002 – was
something he had joked about with his friends for some time.“”I was chatting to a few friends and had always joked about
stepping up and getting LCA back to Brisbane (as) I had quite a bit
of experience with other conferences,” Nykvist told iTWire in an
interview.”
