Call For Presentations ================== We are happy to announce that the Call for Presentations for LCA Kernel Miniconf is now open.
LCA Kernel Miniconf is part of linux.conf.au, the annual Australian Linux & open source developers' conference. When: 29th January 2008 Where: Melbourne University, Linux.conf.au http://miniconf.mel8ourne.org/wiki/index.php?title=Kernel The current schedule gives us 6 slots. One slot is reserved for 5 minute lightning talks - this gives us 6-8 lightning talks, where people working on kernel project and give a quick spiel on their current project. All these slots are currently open, and no slides should be used, just spiel. The other 5 slots are open for suggestion. Last year it all worked out pretty well with the balance of techy vs newbie stuff. I'd like to say have one or two general kernel topics suitable for a range of people and one or two talks aimed more in-depth or technically. I'd definitely like to bring back the Suspend/resume workshop which was fun (as the guy who got his laptop debugged by Linus/akpm personally will atest) and depending on who attends we might try for the kernel maintainers panel again. Please note that in order to give a presentation you must be signed up for the main conference. We also cannot provide any travel assistance for speakers at the kernel mini conference. However I'm sure you might be able to convince your company that going to LCA might be more useful if you do get to speak at it :-) So I'll leave the CFP open for a month or so, please mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with your suggestions and proposals. About linux.conf.au linux.conf.au (http://linux.conf.au/) is Australia's annual technical conference about Free Software.
