I'm in New Zealand, and keen to take this on :) Thanks for the prompt! I wasn't planning to attend LCA due to this year's focus on Internet of Things, which has no crossover with my interests, but I didn't even consider the idea of an LGM miniconf...
I will submit a proposal in the next day or two. If anybody else is keen to be involved, please get in touch! ---- Sam Muirhead Open Source / Video http://cameralibre.cc Jul 29, 2018, 12:05 PM by [email protected]: > ...now's the time. > > > I realize this is short notice, but what can you do. > Linux.conf.au > <http://Linux.conf.au>> (LCA) has its call for papers open for just a couple > more days: > https://linux.conf.au/call-for-papers/ > <https://linux.conf.au/call-for-papers/> > > The event itself is January 21 to 25, 2019. > > In addition to the regular session submissions, though, people can propose > one-day 'miniconfs' for addition to the schedule.
