Although not an official social event of the Conference, Birds of a Feather - or BoFs as they are known - allow Delegates to meet around a particular topic or interest. BoFs usually occur during lunchtime, or after the main Conference presentations for the day.
Remember that BoF sessions are part of linux.conf.au, and therefore, the linux.conf.au code of conduct applies.
In particular, BoF topics and discussions must be suitable for all attendees of the conference, including those aged 12 and up, and may not unwarrantedly exclude people based on age, gender, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, or religion.
