Bianca Gibson: Preventing Volunteer Burnout
In this presentation I'll be sharing practical advice
for preventing burnout in yourself and those around you,
drawing on my experience from years as a volunteer. I
will encourage audience participation.
Bianca Gibson is extremely passionate about Free
Software, a current member of the Linux.conf.au 2016
Geelong team and was a member of the Linux Australia
council for 2 years. As a teenager she spent years on
the council of a children's nature club. She recently
completed her Bachelor of Computer Science at Monash
University and started work as a graduate developer at
REA Group.

Hello! I've been a Linux user and contributor for more than twenty
years now, starting with adding support for 43-line EGA video mode. Our
website Glass Wings is having a party from 6pm to 8pm at the Wheeler
Centre in Melbourne this Friday 14 March 2014 to celebrate its 20th
anniversary and we'd love to invite you. Glass Wings has not only been
hosted on Linux since the beginning (originally on a laptop with a
10Mbps coaxial ISA-bus Ethernet adapter in an expansion bay!) but all
the content has also been created using FOSS software on Linux desktops.
We'll be bringing some of our collection of vintage laptops running
modern versions of Linux (including the Ubuntu 14.04 beta) along to the
party so you can browse the site!
