20 days to go for LCA paper proposals
The Call for Papers for LCA2006 closes on the 5th of September. Now would be a good time to submit an abstract for a talk about a cool open source project. We welcome talks from either project developers or people using Linux.
A couple of people have asked what technical level is appropriate for talks. The range is pretty broad: we have some number of kernel hackers, and some people who are just starting to use Linux. The CFP form asks what level of experience the audience will need to understand and appreciate the talk.
We also have a tutorial stream, which is for interactive sessions lasting two hours or more. If you're considering this (which is great) you do need to consider that just talking for two hours is going to be tough on both the speaker and the audience. To work well they really need a fair degree of interactive lab work.
The single most important thing for the abstract is to give plenty of detail about both the content of the talk, and your credentials and experience as a speaker. Mention tantalizing content so that people will want to come to the talk. The majority of submissions are too short, rather than too long -- we can always trim them later, but if you don't tell us your strong points we (probably) won't know them.
If you have questions please feel free to mail me, mbp@sourcefrog.net
