Format of Presentations

We are now seeking proposals for presentations at the mini-conference. We have openings for:

Please note, due to the single day available (and whole-LCA keynote before morning tea), we expect the majority of available timeslots to be 20 minutes or less. We have a general policy of accepting a high proportion of proposals but handing out relativly short timeslots. Please see previous years Miniconf schedules for examples.

Submitting talks

Please note that in order to give a presentation or attend the Miniconf you must be registered (and paid 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. Unfortunately the Miniconf has no budget for sponsorship of speakers.

Submissions have now closed.

Questions should be sent to:

lca2016 @ sysadmin.miniconf.org

Dates and Deadlines

To encourage early submissions priority (both of inclusion and scheduling) will be given to presentations submitted before the 8th of November 2015. Please indicate if you need an early confirmation to aid you in arranging time off work or travel.
