"I flew myself around Australia visiting every LUG to convince them to come to the first Australian Linux conference." The story of CALU 1999 being funded on R

"I flew myself around Australia visiting every LUG to convince them to come to the first Australian Linux conference." The story of CALU 1999 being funded on Rusty's personal credit card is legendary in the Australian Linux community. Having recently attended my fourth linux.conf.au, as it's now known, I'm very grateful for Rusty's instrumental role in building the Linux and free software community here. (Also, I'm now lucky enough to work with the legendary group of hackers at OzLabs - the best graduate job that I could hope for in Canberra!)
