JoshG is a busy bee:

If you are a software technologist in Australia, I strongly encourage you to attend JAOO Australia as it is arguably the best technical conference in the world and it is certainly a boon to have it come to our neck of the woods. We are getting some superb international speakers that you’ll be able to interact with throughout the conference (they stay around at JAOO to learn too), and the more we support it, the more we’ll get next year.
