[H-GEN] Fwd: [lca-announce] Community Update: a small reminder. linux.conf.au 2022 Call for Sessions open + Extended

[Joel Addison]

Hi everyone,

If you are not already aware, linux.conf.au <http://linux.conf.au/> 2022 is currently in the works, running in January 2022. It will be held online again, similar to LCA2021, given the current situation we find ourselves in.

The Call for Sessions is now open for the main conference plus our Miniconfs - Kernel, Open Hardware, System Administration and GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums). I encourage you to submit a talk proposal today, so we can again bring everyone together for another great conference. 

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me or anyone on the LCA2022 team.

Thanks,
Joel

> Dear Community,
> 
> It’s been a very long time between emails. 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. 
> 
> But…. sadly the call for sessions has now been open for 2 weeks and we unfortunately don’t have enough sessions to fill the entire 3 days. 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!
> 
> I would really love for this conference to go ahead, LCA is what brought me into this community and it is what has convinced me to hang around and contribute back. 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).
> 
> So this is a bit of a plea from me. 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.  We also have MiniConf specialist tracks focussing on System Administration, Kernel, Open Hardware and GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives & Museums) so submit there as well!
> 
> Some ideas for session submissions are:
> Are you working on a new ground breaking project and want to share the details or launch the code?
> Did you give a talk at LCA 10 years ago? 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?
> Are you contributing to an Open Source community and you want to share your wisdom with us?
> 
> Now because I’m sending this out and the call for sessions was due to close this weekend we’ve organised to extend the deadline by an extra week. Our wonderful Session Selection Committee is ready to review submissions from the new deadline of 11:59pm Sunday 12th September (Anywhere on Earth). Submissions can be made from: https://linux.conf.au/programme/proposals/ <https://linux.conf.au/programme/proposals/> 
> 
> Also spread the word! If you know someone who is working on or has something interesting to say then recommend that they submit. 
> 
> Looking forward to seeing you all in January,
