The following article will describe how to configure a CentOS 5.x-based or Centos 6.x-based system to use Fedora Epel repos and third party remi package repos. These package repositories are not officially supported by CentOS, but they provide much more current versions of popular applications like PHP or MYSQL.
The FOSS in Research and Student Innovation Miniconf brings together researchers and students with an active interest in Free and Open Source Software with the broader Linux.conf.au community to highlight exciting work taking place within the often esoteric world of academia and educational institutions.
The Miniconf is part of Linux.conf.au 2011, being held at the QUT Gardens Point Campus in Brisbane, Queensland in January.
Topics are split into two streams: FOSS in Research, which invites presentations on research relating to Free and Open Source Software; and Student Innovation, which explores new and exciting work in the FOSS world conducted by students. Presentations may be proposed in a 25-minute talk format (20 minutes talk + 5 minutes discussion).
