[lca-announce] First miniconf Call for papers open

[linux.conf.au Announcements]

This week, first calls have come from the successful miniconfs to submit 
papers for their programs. These specialist conferences run in the days 
before linux.conf.au and bring in high quality speakers to cover topics 
in their field of endeavor.

"Miniconfs are always a hit with conference goers, and many delegates 
who just come to the main conference lament missing the minconf program" 
said Ben Powell, organiser for LCA09. "These miniconfs cover specialist 
topics that are of interest to the FOSS community - there's really 
something for everyone and although some of the traditional miniconfs 
missed out this year, the inclusion of new topics give conference goers 
the opportunity to see a wide range of exciting topics" said Mr. Powell.

To fill their programmes the miniconf organisers have started to 
announce a call for participation. Each miniconf is looking for a select 
range of talks from industry leaders and professionals alike. To read
