<p>Hi again everyone,</p>
<p>Just a reminder that submissions are due this weekend. We would
really like to see those submit numbers go up so we can have a
substantial conference program for you to attend. Also, please
spread the word to your networks/communities. <br>
</p>
<p>Thanks,</p>
<p>Sae Ra</p>

<p dir="ltr"

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. </span></p>

<p dir="ltr"

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!</span></p>

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).</span></p>

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. </span><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;" id="docs-internal-guid-36bd2665-7fff-022b-1292-cdeff9261361">We also have MiniConf specialist tracks focussing on System Administration, Kernel, Open Hardware and GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives & Museums) so submit there as well!</span></p>

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?</span></p></li>
