Hmmm... apparently some people have been unaware that the LCA 2014 Call for Proposals has already opened.
Have you ever considered submitting a proposal for linux.conf.au 2014. Speakers are our favourite people in the world!
linux.conf.au is in Perth in 2014, at the University of Western Australia, from 6 January to 10 January. The Call for Presentations opened on 1 June.
