The SouthEast LinuxFest call for speakers closes tomorrow (submit here: https://goo.gl/forms/BOwy2tthvoWloOCv2 ). SELF is June 14-16 this year, once again at the Sheraton Charlotte Airport Hotel in Charlotte, NC. As far as topics, SELF is highly community oriented, so we love to showcase LUG talent throughout the southeast. In specific, here's what polled well with our audience:
Information Security (Pentesting, Defensive Strategies, Exploit Response, etc) (4.96) Homelab (Homebrew Firewall/NAS/Servers/etc) (4.95) Systems Administration and Orchestration (4.88) Network Administration/Networking (4.76) Open Source A/V (Kdenlive, Blender, Audacity, etc) (4.69) Python (4.61) Smart Home and IoT (4.39) Smarter You (Body Hacks, Organization, Ergonomics, etc) (4.24) DevOps (4.20) Golang (4.11) Database Administration (4.09) Community (Building, Org, Outreach, etc) (4.02) But if you have something cool not listed, don’t be discouraged! We welcome all kinds of content, and have had popular talks on WWI Battleships, Ergonomics, Knitting, and more. If it’s geeky, we’re listening. In addition, SELF has announced the first keynote this year: Long Term Trends in Open Source by Eric S. Raymond: It’s been 22 years since “The Cathedral and the Bazaar”. Where we’ve been might tell us something about where we’re going. Today’s challenges include the ephemeralization of computers, the decline of C, open hardware, and increasingly dangerous information monopolies. What’s a hacker to do? And we will definitely have some LUG care boxes this year of swag to giveaway at meetings, including some of the SELF 10th Anniversary giant sticker collections. If you'll be at SELF on Sunday June 16th, please contact us at i...@southeastlinuxfest.org so we can arrange a box for your LUG. Cheers, and hope to see you there! -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NLUG" group.
