@Gina Kris, @web_goddess would you have any contacts there?

@Gina I am based out of Melbourne, several folks have mentioned @kattekrab who knows everyone who is anyone and a few of us that aren't.

Sydney is primarily a sales office, though, so lower concentration of tech folks than other places.

@Gina I once applied for a job at their (now closed) Brisbane office. Much earlier in my career and bombed the interview. 😆

@Gina @sabre1041 and @fuzzychef tend to get around a lot, they might know some folks down under. good luck! 🍀

Redhat is owned by IBM. Not sure their view on open source is what it used to be nowadays.

@Gina Probably not the best place to learn about open source: https://devops.com/rhel-gpl-richixbw/

@Gina Dunno. I know we have @fedora here, but it doesn't look like there's anybody specific to Australia. Maybe they could point you in the right direction?

@Gina the australian redhatter in my former team left the company few months ago :(

@Gina Not me (getting that out of the way).

North Sydney? If your hotel had a couple of complimentary Carlton Crowns in your room, I think I've stayed there. 😄

Though that was during the Sydney Olympics and just before the dotcom pop, so maybe the meh-but-free beer is history...

@Gina perhaps @jwildeboer has some idea?
