Miniconf at LCA 2009
We got word a couple of days ago that the Sysadmin Miniconf had been accepted for Linux.conf.au 2009 and the media have been informed so I can can say so publicly.
It looks like the following Miniconfs have been accepted:
- Open Source databases
- Kernel
- Sysadmin
- Virtualisation
- Linuxchix
- Myth TV
- Gaming
- Mobile
- Multimedia
- Free As In Freedom
- The business of open source software
I guess the main differences from previous years are the MySQL and PostgreSQL miniconfs have been merged. There is no Debian, Education or Gnome miniconfs and I guess Mobile has replaced Embedded. It’s interesting to see the loss of the regulars, I guess in some cases it is because they have their own regular conferences.
The last two miniconfs ( “Free As In Freedom” and “The business of open source software” ) are also new, I guess they will be fleshed out.
We’ll be updated the Sysadmin Miniconf website over the next few days and the call for papers should be out next week sometime.
I also posted an email to the NZNOG list asking about interest in a Sysadmin thing at NZNOG 09 ( in Auckland the week after LCA 09 ). have a quick look and pop me an email if you are interested. END
