From Jessica Field, one of the organisers:
Held in Melbourne, OpenStack Australia Day is set to be the region’s largest, and Australia’s best, conference focusing on Open Source cloud technology. Gathering users, vendors and solution providers OpenStack Australia Day is an industry event to showcase the latest technologies and share real-world experiences of the next wave of IT virtualisation. Hosted by Aptira and the OpenStack Foundation, this conference will feature a range of sessions on the broader cloud and Software Defined Infrastructure ecosystem including OpenStack, containers, PaaS and automation with insights from some of the most talented members of the OpenStack community.
