LinuxTag Berlin 2014 will take place in a new location. It would be cool if we had a few interesting talks in the program, so think about submitting a proposal :).
---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Linuxtag Newsletter <i...@linuxtag.org> Date: 26 January 2014 17:41 Subject: LinuxTag: Call for Papers To: Claudia Rauch <ra...@kde.org> Dear Claudia Rauch, since you contributed in the past to LinuxTag, we'd like to update you about this year's event scheduled for May 8 - 10, 2014 in Berlin, Germany . We stay in Germany's capital, but a lot of other exiting things change: First of all, we team up with droidcon , the world's larges independent summit for Android developer and re:publica , one of the world’s most important festivals for the digital society. We also move the venue right into the heart of Berlin, to an industrial landmark, a loungy former railway station in Berlin's Kreuzberg quarter. Behind the scenes we've taken over the organization of the whole event and are thus much more flexible for special arrangements . LinuxTag Association still organizes the program in a non-for-profit way and depends thus on support from sponsors . You could help LinuxTag by sending us appropriate contacts from your marketing or recruiting departments to sponsor...@linuxtag.org , if this is feasible. Your help is highly appreciated. Our Call for Papers is open as in previous years at Virtual Conference Center, https://vcc.linuxtag.org/ and is waiting for your proposals until Feburary 7, 2014. Our program committee decided to focus the conference on nine main topics. Click on the links to find out about the holistic idea behind the subjects originating from the day-to-day experiences of Linux and Open Source users, administrators, and developers, http://www.linuxtag.org/2014/en/ Find out: Tracing, troubleshooting, and logging Protect yourself: Security after Snowden Fancy a game? Linux' new steps into entertainment Make it so: Configuration management and software deployment Roll your own: Bring back your servers home Extensible Attic: Deal with vast amounts of data Pimp the Web: Speed up your apps and improve user experience Go agile: Small steps for your code, but a giant leap for Users OpenStack: One IaaS platform for all needs We appreciate any proposals and ask you to relay this message to friends, team members, or co-workers . Apart from the main topics, we also gladly accept proposals for other subjects . Additionally, for the first time we have also the opportunity to have more informal lectures, workshops, or mini barcamps in the evening, since we may use the venue until late. We're also looking for session chairs , who support reviewing proposals, and moderators/crew members who help us during the conference. If you are interested, drop us a note at confere...@linuxtag.org . Don't hestitate to ask if you have questions. Suggest ideas to improve LinuxTag.
