[ClusterLabs] Fwd: [lca-announce] linux.conf.au 2020 - Call for Sessions and Miniconfs final week!
Hi Folks, Just a reminder, there's approximately a day left to submit talks for this most excellent conference. As usual the conference theme is intended to inspire, not to restrict; talks on any topic in the world of free and open source software, hardware, etc. are most welcome. Regards, Tim Forwarded Message Subject: [lca-announce] linux.conf.au 2020 - Call for Sessions and Miniconfs final week! Date: Tue, 23 Jul 2019 22:40:55 +1000 From: linux.conf.au Announcements Reply-To: lca-annou...@lists.linux.org.au To: lca-annou...@lists.linux.org.au Hello everyone, We are now in the final week for submissions to the linux.conf.au 2020 Call for Sessions and Miniconfs. If you have not yet submitted your proposal, now is the time to start working on it to get it in by the cutoff, Sunday 28 July Anywhere on Earth (AoE) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anywhere_on_Earth). As you know, our theme for linux.conf.au 2020 is "Who's Watching", focusing on security, privacy and ethics. As big data and IoT-connected devices become more pervasive, it's no surprise that we're more concerned about privacy and security than ever before. Call for Sessions Would you like to talk in the main conference of linux.conf.au 2020? The main conference runs from Wednesday to Friday, with multiple streams catering for a wide range of interest areas. We welcome you to submit a session (https://linux.conf.au/programme/sessions/) proposal for either a talk or tutorial now. Call for Miniconfs Miniconfs are dedicated day-long streams focusing on single topics, creating a more immersive experience for delegates than a session. Miniconfs are run on the first two days of the conference before the main conference commences on Wednesday. If you would like to organise a miniconf (https://linux.conf.au/programme/miniconfs/) at linux.conf.au, we want to hear from you. If you have something to share about security, privacy or anything open source make sure you submit a proposal for a talk or miniconf. You can find out how to submit your session or miniconf proposals at https://linux.conf.au/programme/proposals/. If you have any questions, please contact us via email at cont...@lca2020.linux.org.au. The session selection committee is looking forward to reviewing your proposals!

[ClusterLabs] Fwd: [lca-announce] linux.conf.au 2022 - Call for Sessions now open!
One week left for talk submissions for linux.conf.au 2022 (virtualized for the second time, January 14-16 2022). Forwarded Message Subject: [lca-announce] linux.conf.au 2022 - Call for Sessions now open! Date: Tue, 10 Aug 2021 08:07:01 +1000 From: linux.conf.au Announcements Reply-To: lca-annou...@lists.linux.org.au To: LCA Announce , Linux Aus The linux.conf.au 2022 Call for Sessions is now open. It will stay open until 11:59pm 5 September 2021 Anywhere on Earth (AoE). The theme for 2022 is 'community'. After the challenges of the past year, our community has explored ways to rebuild the connections we were used to having face-to-face. Many Open Source communities already had their roots online, so how can this be applied to other areas, and how can we keep people interested as they shift to living even more of their lives online? How can we keep in contact with connections in other countries in a virtual way? If you have ideas or developments you'd like to share with the open source community at linux.conf.au, we'd love to hear from you. ## Call for Sessions The main conference runs on Saturday 15 and Sunday 16 January, with multiple streams catering for a wide range of interest areas. We invite you to submit a session proposal on a topic you are familiar with via our proposals portal at https://lca2022.linux.org.au/programme/proposals/. Talks are 45 minute presentations on a single topic presented in lecture format. Each accepted talk will receive one ticket to attend the conference. ## Call for Miniconfs We are pleased to announce we will again have four Miniconfs on the first day, Friday 14 January 2022. These are: * GO GLAM meets Community * Kernel * Open Hardware * System Administration Based on feedback over a few years, we will be introducing two major changes for Miniconfs in 2022: all presentations will be 30 minutes long, and each accepted presentation will receive one ticket to the conference. The Call for Miniconf Sessions is now open on our website, so we encourage you to submit your proposal today. Check out our Miniconfs page at https://lca2022.linux.org.au/programme/miniconfs/ for more information. ## No need to book flights or hotels Don't forget: the conference will be an online, virtual experience. This means our speakers will be beaming in from their own homes or workplaces. The organising team will be able to help speakers with their tech set-up. Each accepted presenter will have a tech check prior to the event to smooth out any difficulties and there will be an option to pre-record presentations. ## Introducing LCA Local We know many of you have missed the experience of a face-to-face conference and in 2022 we are launching LCA Local. While our conference will be online, we are inviting people to join others in their local area and participate in the conference together. More information and an expression of interest form for LCA Local will be released soon. ## Have you got an idea? You can find out how to submit your session proposals at https://lca2022.linux.org.au/programme/proposals/.

[ClusterLabs] CFP: Everything Open 2023 (Melbourne, Australia, March 14-16)
Everything Open is a new open tech conference auspiced by Linux Australia. For background see: https://everythingopen.au/news/introducing-everything-open/ For the CFP and other details, read on... Forwarded Message Subject: [Announce] Everything Open, All At Once! Date: Tue, 13 Dec 2022 20:00:15 +1000 From: Everything Open To: eo-annou...@lists.linux.org.au, annou...@lists.linux.org.au The Everything Open 2023 organising team is excited to announce: * Call for Sessions * Call for Volunteers * Financial Assistance applications ARE NOW OPEN!!! Wominjeka Everyone, Everything Open will run over three days - March 14-16, 2023 - in Naarm (Melbourne) at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre. We are excited to be opening our Call for Sessions to get another wide range of talks and tutorials in our schedule. We also need a team of volunteers to help us achieve success with this conference. ## Call for Sessions We invite you to submit a session proposal on a topic you are familiar with via our proposals portal at https://2023.everythingopen.au/programme/proposals/. The Call for Sessions will remain open until 11:59 pm on Sunday 15 January 2023 anywhere on earth (AoE). There will be multiple streams catering for a wide range of interest areas across the many facets of open technology, including Linux, open source software, open hardware, standards, formats and documentation, and our communities. In keeping with the conference's aim to be inclusive to all community members, presentations can be aimed at any level, ranging from technical deep-dives through to beginner and intermediate level presentations for those who are newer to the subject. Where possible, talks on a related subject will be arranged sequentially in the schedule. There will be two types of sessions at Everything Open: talks and tutorials. Talks will nominally be 45 minutes long on a single topic presented in lecture format. We will also have a few short talk slots (25 minutes) available, which are perfect for people new to presenting at a conference. Tutorials are interactive and hands-on in nature, presented in classroom format. Each accepted session will receive one Professional level ticket to attend the conference. The Session Selection Committee is looking forward to reading your submissions. We would also like to thank them for coming together and volunteering their time to help put this conference together. ## Call for Volunteers We're calling on people to come forward and lend a hand again. If you've done it all before and just want to get on with signing up, all the details can be found at the volunteers page - https://2023.everythingopen.au/attend/volunteer/. If you're new to it all and want to help out, keep reading! We're all volunteers ourselves and we need more – we can't run the conference by ourselves, particularly during the week of the conference itself. We need help with: * Checking attendees in when they arrive * Operating AV equipment such as audio gear and cameras * Directing people around our venue * Ensuring talks and tutorials run to schedule * Setting up and packing up the conference Anyone who has volunteered for a Linux Australia event before will tell you it's a very busy time, but also very worthwhile. It's satisfying to know that you've helped everyone at the conference to get the most out of it. It's very rewarding knowing that you've made a positive difference to someone's day. You don't just get to meet the delegates and speakers, you also get to know many of them while helping them out. You are presented with a unique opportunity to get the behind the scenes and close to the action. You'll get to forge new relationships with amazing, interesting and wonderful people (just like you), whom you might not have otherwise had the good fortune to meet in any other way. In return for your help we'll provide you with: * Food - morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea * A clean T shirt everyday * If you want one, a letter of reference at the end of the conference Depending on the number of volunteers we get and workload (many hands make light work), we'll do our best to allocate you to roles so that you can attend talks that interest you. For more information, please check out our volunteers page at https://2023.everythingopen.au/attend/volunteer/, where we have full details of what we need assistance with. We review and approve applications regularly. ## Financial Assistance We have budget set aside for providing financial assistance to Everything Open attendees who might otherwise find it difficult to attend. This program is a key part of our outreach and inclusion efforts for Everything Open. Anyone can apply for financial assistance for Everything Open 2023. The assistance can cover things such as a ticket to the conference, travel, accommodation, or other costs that you would incur to attend. We will be processing applications on a regular basis until funds ar
