Geoff and the Dae­mon team have a cou­ple of economy-stimulating ini­tia­tives that might be of inter­est to any­one who would like to come to the WebDU geek rock con­cert con­fer­ence next month.

From today’s email:

Whether it be eco­nomic or pan­demic, zom­bie inva­sion or bikie war­fare,
escape it all at webDU in the Star City Casino where the doors can be
bar­ri­caded and there’s a few weeks sup­ply of water and food.

Sounds good, yeah?

If you’ve been neg­a­tively affected by the eco­nomic down­turn, there’s a schol­ar­ship pro­gram you can apply for. http://www.webdu.com.au/about/scholarships

If you want to win a ticket, there’s a Twit­ter com­pe­ti­tion on too. The guys are giv­ing away five tick­ets for the most cre­ative rea­sons to want to go. http://www.webdu.com.au/about/twitter-competition

There’s heaps of flight deals at the moment too, on Vir­gin Blue, QANTAS and Jet­Star, so you can get over there pretty cheaply from any­where in Aus­tralia or the sur­round­ing regions.

I’m going to be going, and I’m pretty stoked – I’m a con­fer­ence junkie and it’s going to be great. I’ll also be report­ing on all the action for SitePoint.

Code Wars will be run­ning on Day 0 as well, as has now become tra­di­tional, and I’m going to be part of the WANZAC team (West Australian/New Zealand Awe­some Coders) with AJ Mer­cer, Kai Koenig and Camp­bell Anderson.

So who else?
