LCA is a great conference to speak at. Getting a talk accepted means that your skills are recognised internationally by the Linux community. But don't be scared, it's not that difficult to do.
LCA organisers are good at selecting the good talks, so make an offer and see how it goes. If you have several ideas make several offers and they will accept the one that seems likely to get the most interest. When you submit an offer there's a separate section for other comments, if you are unsure of the process put any queries there and if necessary someone can discuss it with you to help you make the best possible offer. I've presented at LCA several times and I'd be happy to offer advice to anyone who's considering it, either on this list or in private. Talks with multiple presenters while not common are a possibility. Make a good offer that involves 2 or more people tag-teaming and the organisers will consider it. There have been many LUV lectures that were essentially the same as LCA lectures but with a different audience size. If your offer gets accepted by LCA and you need a practice audience then LUV is a possibility. ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: [Linux-aus] Community Update: a small reminder. linux.conf.au 2022 Call for Sessions open + Extended Date: Thursday, 2 September 2021, 22:17:47 AEST From: President, Linux Australia - Sae Ra Germaine via linux-aus <linux- [email protected]> To: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] CC: [email protected] **apologies for cross-posting** TL;DR: Submit your talks for LCA2022 - pretty please! Dear Community, It’s been a very long time between emails. You may or may not have seen emails and alerts on social media going around about our wonderful conference linux.conf.au 2022. Following the success that we had in January with LCA2021, we thought we would try it again. But…. sadly the call for sessions has now been open for 2 weeks and we unfortunately don’t have enough sessions to fill the entire 3 days. Excitedly though, we have plenty of keynotes (more info on that to come soon once we have firmly locked them in place 😁). Thank you to those who have already submitted, they are looking fantastic and as it is I would struggle to work out which one I would want to see live the most! I would really love for this conference to go ahead, LCA is what brought me into this community and it is what has convinced me to hang around and contribute back. I know most of us are fatigued by the pandemic and online events, but regardless of Online vs Face-to-face, it was amazing to see everyone and all your wonderful faces and I’d love to do it again. While online isn’t ideal, it’s the best option we've got and we want to make the best of a bad scenario (and not cancel it entirely). So this is a bit of a plea from me. Please submit a talk, join us in January. We have the "venue" sorted, sponsors organised, miniconfs chosen, keynotes ready, now all we need is a wonderful program of sessions for our community to listen and watch. We also have MiniConf specialist tracks focussing on System Administration, Kernel, Open Hardware and GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives & Museums) so submit there as well! Some ideas for session submissions are: * Are you working on a new ground breaking project and want to share the details or launch the code? * Did you give a talk at LCA 10 years ago? How about using the same slides and giving the talk again but this time updating us as to where things got to: did you ditch the project, or did it thrive and become bigger than you expected? * Are you contributing to an Open Source community and you want to share your wisdom with us? Now because I’m sending this out and the call for sessions was due to close this weekend we’ve organised to extend the deadline by an extra week. Our wonderful Session Selection Committee is ready to review submissions from the new deadline of 11:59pm Sunday 12th September (Anywhere on Earth). Submissions can be made from: https://linux.conf.au/programme/proposals/ <https://linux.conf.au/programme/proposals/> Also spread the word! If you know someone who is working on or has something interesting to say then recommend that they submit. Looking forward to seeing you all in January, Sae Ra -- Sae Ra Germaine President and linux.conf.au 2022 Session Selection Committee Member Linux Australia [email protected] http://linux.org.au Linux Australia Inc GPO Box 4788 Sydney NSW 2001 Australia ABN 56 987 117 479 ----------------------------------------- -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/ _______________________________________________ luv-main mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
