BRISBANE, Australia - linux.conf.au today announced the opening of its Call for Miniconfs for the lca2011 conference.
Miniconfs provide the opportunity of hosting 1 or 2 day mini-conferences on a variety of topics. They will be held on the first 2 days of the the popular grass-roots conference linux.conf.au. The Call for Miniconfs will remain open until 7 August 2010, after which time successful Miniconf Proposals will be notified and the best ones selected to be included on the programme for lca2011.
"Miniconfs kick off linux.conf.au each year and provide a great way to get focus on a particular area of Free and Open Source technologies relating to Linux," says Shaun Nykvist, lca2011 Director. "We're very happy to be hosting lca2011 in Brisbane, Australia and hope to see a vibrant collection of miniconf proposals to showcase the developing trends and great work of domain experts in free and open source software," said Nykvist.
"The theme of this years conference is "follow the flow", and we're hoping to hear in the miniconf proposals how more and more people are getting involved in free and open source software. I'm looking forward to seeing talented technical people both in Australia and overseas contacting us; and ideas flowing in for miniconfs that they'd like to organise at lca2011," said Sarah Smith, lca2011 Miniconf Coordinator.
Information for potential miniconf organisers is available at the lca2011 website.
