This is the second call for submissions for the inaugural Conference of Australian Linux Users, in July 9/10/11, Melbourne Australia. [ Paging Jon `maddog' Hall: please contact me re: securing your services as keynote speaker. Thanks. ] WHO SHOULD SUBMIT We want submissions from people who have something interesting to say on a Linux-related topic. Maybe you've had experiences with Linux in an unusual environment, maybe you've developed something for Linux, maybe you're a guru in some Linux-related area. Maybe you have an angle we haven't thought of yet... The standard has been set by the speakers already confirmed, such as David S. Miller (Cobalt, Linux hacker), Miguel de Icaza (GNOME project lead and Linux hacker), and Andrew Tridgell (SAMBA project). If you're interested in rubbing shoulders with some of the movers and shakers of the Linux world, at THE Australian Linux Event of 1999, this is the place to be. We have half-day (3.5 hour) tutorial slots, and 50-minute paper/talk slots. We'll be providing return airfare and accomodation for speakers. REQUIREMENTS FOR AUTHORS Authors should submit a proposal of 300 to 1000 words. We are looking for tutorials, talks and papers that are on Linux-related topics. Proposals should be submitted to `calu-proposal@linux.org.au'; ASCII, PostScript, LaTeX or HTML. Abstract submissions are due to the Chair no later than 31 January, 1999. Of course, better late than never. In addition to the Abstract, each submission should include: Name, affiliation, and complete address for each author. What travel arrangements, and whether accommodation will be required. A list of topic keywords. Intended audience. Whether you want to do a tutorial or a paper/talk (or either/both).
