In response to the feedback we?ve extended the deadline to submit session/paper ideas for linux.conf.au 2021 by a week. Please note that we are extending Call for Sessions **only* *(not Miniconfs!) Get them in by Friday 13 November (AoE) please folx! Sidenote: we are absolutely blown away by the quality of submissions so far and we can?t wait to bring this conference to life in January. Thank you to those who did get their submissions in on time, we really do appreciate it and we are looking at them as we speak. Also, Watch this space as tickets will be going on sale soon and first Keynote announcement isn't far away either! Thanks, Sae Ra -- Sae Ra Germaine Conference Chair linux.conf.au 2021 Online.

URL: From lca-announce at lists.linux.org.au Tue Nov 24 11:33:28 2020 From: lca-announce at lists.linux.org.au (linux.conf.au Announcements) Date: Tue, 24 Nov 2020 10:33:28 +1000 Subject: [lca-announce] linux.conf.au 2021 - Ticket Sales Now Open Message-ID: We are pleased to announce that ticket sales for linux.conf.au 2021 have now launched! This year the conference is taking place online, worldwide, from Saturday 23 to Monday 25 January. Saturday 23 January will be a day of Miniconfs, followed by two days of main conference on Sunday 24 and Monday 25 January. The online format means we can offer tickets at a lower price to previous years. This does mean that there are no Early Bird tickets. Jump onto your dashboard (https://linux.conf.au/dashboard/) to secure yours today. Prices * Miniconf Only (Saturday only pass): $25 * Student/Concession: $30 * Hobbyist: $70 * Professional: $125 * Contributor: $300 For full details and inclusions, take a look at the tickets page (https://linux.conf.au/attend/tickets/). All prices are AUD, including GST. Swag badges on offer for first 200 registrants Have you heard about our awesome conference swag badges (https://linux.conf.au/attend/swag-badge/)? We have 200 available (Australia only, sorry!) which we'll be posting out in December. It's first in, best dressed, so if you'd like to score one of these cool gadgets you'll need to book your conference ticket before December 1 2020. Pick your own LCA2021 branded merchandise If you've attended linux.conf.au in the past you know we usually hand out branded t-shirts. Since we've moved online for 2021 we can't do this, so we wanted to produce something special. This year you can get the logo placed on a whole bunch of items through our RedBubble store (https://www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/61494974). You can buy branded phone cases, face masks, t-shirts, socks and lots more. (Sae Ra, our conference chair, really wants someone to buy the shower curtain!) Volunteering If you are keen to volunteer at the conference you can apply today. As linux.conf.au is a community-focused, grassroots conference, it requires the support of volunteers. Please see the volunteers page (https://linux.conf.au/attend/volunteer/) for full details. But wait... there's more! (and no it's not steak knives!) We are also announcing Miniconfs! We are so pleased to announce that we have decided on our Miniconfs for this year. This was a VERY competitive year as we only have 4 slots available and we received many more submissions. We really wished that we could accept all of our Miniconfs but due to the shorter conference schedule we haven't been able to accommodate. Your Miniconfs for 2021 are: * Open Hardware * Kernel * Systems Administration * GO GLAM Their Call for Miniconf Sessions is open now! This is also available via your Dashboard. We are really looking forward to seeing some great talks at Miniconfs this year. Check out the details at https://linux.conf.au/programme/miniconfs/. If you have any questions about ticket sales or anything to do with linux.conf.au 2021, you can contact us via email at contact at lca2021.linux.org.au. --- Read this online at https://lca2021.linux.org.au/news/ticket-sales-open/
