+# Crowdsourcing Upstream Refactoring
+
+I consider myself very lucky to attend [Linux Conf Australia 2013][lca].
+LCA is the the premier Free and Open Source conference in the southern hemisphere
+and collects an unique batch of code hackers, Free culture enthusiasts
+and maker practioners.  I've wanted to attend LCA since Jeff Waugh told me about it in 2006.
+This year has been my chance to get to the land of Oz!

+
+Today [Bdale Garbee][bdale] and I have just given a talk called
+"Crowdsourcing Upstream Refactoring" in the [Cross-distro Mini-conf][cross-distro-miniconf].
+We wanted to talk about our experiences in packaging (especially Java applications)
+and brainstorm on how upstreams and distros can collaborate
+on addressing our very different goals and share efforts.
+
+I would like to thank [Stefano Zacchiroli][zack] for providing insight, ideas
+and pointers to his research on the "Upgrade Problem".  I also want to thank
+Bruno Cornec -- organizer of the Cross-distro Mini-conf -- for accepting our talk.
+
+Below you will find links to the presentation (we were unable to display
+due to my laptop and the projector not getting along).  Before
+too long the excellent volunteers of [Linux Conf Australia][lca] will
+make video of the talk available.
