Another year, another LCA :)
This time, it was in Brisbane that had just gotten badly flooded the week prior to the conference, so the organizers had to pull a major one from their hat to make the conf still happen, and they did. For the first time, I went to the arduino miniconf on monday, since I had been meaning to learn more about arduino, and that was a good excuse to do so. So, I built a mobsendat arduino board with accelerometer, GPS, temp sensor, pressure sensor, and more:
And of course, LCA is also fun for various socializing and daily dinners, starting with the speaker Dinner:
Professional Delegates Dinner:
Penguin Dinner:
All in all, a fun year was had again, a big thanks go to the organizers for pulling it out.
