Haiku Down Under buttonThe Australian Haiku Users and Developers Conference, Haiku Down Under, is scheduled to be held this coming Sunday August 22nd, from 9:00 in the morning (GMT +10; find your time zone here). This event, also known as HDU, was started in 2008 as a virtual conference by long time community member contributor and Phil "Sikosis" Greenway (see brief history), and is usually held on the same week that Haiku celebrates its birthday. The focus of the event is to raise awareness about Haiku, and generate interest and discussions around the project and the OS, in an attempt to build a community in that part of the world.

The HDU program includes sessions covering topics such as the state of Haiku, an introduction to Project Rhino (http://rhino.haikupc.com) (a native backup application), and a hands on demo of Haiku. Registration and chat will take place online via the Haiku Australia IRC channel (#haiku-au) on Freenode. Edit 8/19: You will also be able follow the life video feed of the event on USTREAM.
