It's not that I have anything against LCA. It's just that since then, it's been a combination of my being too busy and my prioritizing other conferences which are were more important for my work both externally in the kernel and for my employer.

The Sysadmin Miniconf welcomes your presentations suggestions via the LCA2019 site. Our CFP is at: http://sysadmin.miniconf.org/cfp19.html and a copy of the CFP text is included below for your convenience. Please pass this on to anyone else you think might be interested. Ewen -=- cut here -=- Call for Presentations Linux.conf.au 2019 Systems Administration Miniconf There will be a one day mini conference on Linux Systems Administration held as part of linux.conf.au 2019. LCA2019 will be held in Christchurch, New Zealand on 21 - 25 January 2019. The organisers of the Systems Administration Miniconf would like to invite proposals for presentations to be delivered at the Miniconf. Please forward this CFP to your colleagues, peers, social networks, and other relevant mailing lists. Please help by encouraging submissions from people you would like to hear present at this Miniconf. This is our 13th Sysadmin Miniconf at Linux.conf.au. Previous presentations can be found at the website: https://sysadmin.miniconf.org/. Presentation Topics =================== We welcome talks on best current practice, new developments in Systems Administration, cutting edge techniques and technologies, and ways to better manage Linux environments large and small. Topics for presentations could include (but are not limited to): Virtualisation and Cloud Computing Kubernetes / Docker / Containers / Orchestration Infrastructure/Platform/Software as a Service (IAAS, PAAS, SAAS) Sysadmin Administration in a "serverless" environment (FAAS) DevOps and SysAdmin Culture Systems Administration Best Practice Monitoring and metrics. Collection, storage and presentation Networkng: IPv6, SDN (Software Defined Networking), performance DevOps, Configuration Management and provisioning Bootstrapping systems, Lifecycle Management Dealing with BYOD Backups in a virtual/distributed world Troubleshooting techniques Keeping legacy systems functioning War stories from the "Real World" Presentations should be of a technical nature and speakers should assume that members of the audience have at least a couple of years experience in professional Unix/Linux administration (many in the audience will have decades of experience). Format of Presentations ======================= We are now seeking proposals for presentations at the mini-conference. We have openings for: 15-25 minute short presentations 5-10 minute "lightning talks" Please note, due to the single day available (and whole-LCA opening before morning tea), we expect the majority of available timeslots to be 20 minutes or less, with possibly 1-2 slightly longer talks if there is space in the schedule. We have a general policy of accepting a high proportion of proposals but handing out relatively short timeslots. Please see previous years Miniconf schedules for examples of how the programme is organised. Submitting talks ================ Please note that in order to give a presentation or attend the Miniconf you must be registered (and paid up by the time the conference happens) for the main linux.conf.au conference. Presenting at the Miniconf does not entitle you to discounted or free registration at the main conference nor to priority with registration. Unfortunately the Miniconf has no budget for sponsorship of speakers. To submit a talk to the LCA2019 Sysadmin Miniconf, create an account on the LCA2019 website: https://linux.conf.au/dashboard create a speaker profile, and then select "SysAdmin Miniconf Talk" (in the "New Proposal" section of the Dashboard), or while logged into the LCA2019 site, go directly to: https://linux.conf.au/proposals/submit/sysadmin-miniconf/ Please pick a preferred length for your presentation from Short Presentation (15/20/25 minutes) or Lightning Talk (5/10 minutes) in the submission form; if you could do either (with more or less detail) use the Private Abstract field to describe the options and what you would prefer. In some cases we maybe able to add a few extra minutes to a few Short Presentations if there is any spare time left in the programme. Use the Private Abstract field to let us know a few more minutes would be useful for your presentation. Questions should be sent to: lca2019 at sysadmin.miniconf.org Dates and Deadlines =================== To encourage early submissions, priority (both of inclusion and scheduling) will be given to presentations submitted by 23:59 (any time zone) on 31st of October 2018. If you have a good presentation idea, please let us know early, even if you need time to finalise the presentation abstract. Please let us know directly if you need an early confirmation to assist you in arranging time off work or travel; we will do our best to help. 2018-10-31 - Deadline for early submissions 2018-11-18 - Deadline for submissions 2018-12-04 - LCA2019 Sysadmin Miniconf programme published 2019-01-21 - LCA2019 Sysadmin Miniconf held (Christchurch, NZ) Contact and Questions ===================== Please see our website at https://sysadmin.miniconf.org for more information on the miniconf, past presentations and presenting at it.
