The LinuxChix miniconfs (2007–2009) and Haecksen miniconfs (2010–2014) were one-day events focusing on women who use and contribute to Linux and other free and open source software. It was held as part of linux.conf.au, which has a tradition of providing venues for one or two day community organised miniconferences in a variety of areas. While the Haecksen miniconferences haven't formally ended, no miniconf has been held since January 2014.
