Linux.conf.au 2010 Systems Administration Miniconf
As part of the linux.conf.au conference in Wellington, New Zealand
in January 2010 we will be holding a 1 day mini conference orientated to
Linux Systems Administration.
The organisers of the Systems Administration Miniconf would like to
invite proposals for presentations to be delivered at the Miniconf.
Presentation Topics
Topics for presentations could include (but are not limited to)
Systems Administration, Backups, Security, Troubleshooting, Buying
Decisions, Virtualisation, Enterprise Monitoring and Management,
Identity Management, Web and Email management, Wiki, Clustering and High
Availability, Log Management, Spam and Virus Filtering, VOIP, Ticketing
systems, Bootstrapping and automated installation, Configuration
Management and packaging.
We strongly welcome topics on best practice, new developments in systems
administration and cutting edge techniques to better manage Linux hosts
and environments.
Presentations should be of a technical nature and speakers should assume
that members of the audience have at least a couple of years experience in
Unix/Linux administration.
Format of Presentations
We are now seeking proposals for presentations at the mini-conference.
We have openings for:
- 45 minute double-length presentations
- 20 minute full presentations
- 10-15 minute "How we do things" presentations
- 5-10 minute "lightning talks"
Please note, due to the single day available, we expect the vast
majority of available timeslots to be 20 minutes long or less.
The 10-15 minute "How we do things" presentations are intended for people to
talk about their sites. Information could include: Servers, talks, tools,
people and roles, experiences, software, operating systems, monitoring,
alerting, provisioning etc. The intent is to give other attendees a picture
of what is happening in the "real world" and some understanding of how other
sites work.
Submitting talks
Please note that in order to give a presentation or attend the miniconf
you must be signed up for the main linux.conf.au conference. Presenting at
the Miniconf does not entitle you to discounted or free registration at the
main conference nor priority with registration.

(but welcomes offers of sponsorship).
