The first two days of linux.conf.au are made up of dedicated day-long streams focussing on single topics. They are organised and run by volunteers and are a great way to kick the week off.
First introduced at linux.conf.au 2002, they are now a traditional element of the conference. They were originally intended as an incubator – both of future conferences and speakers.
Although delegates who present at miniconfs are not afforded speaker privileges at the main conference, speaking at a miniconf is a great way to gain experience, provide exposure for your project or topic, and raise your professional profile.
Some miniconfs are still accepting proposals. Get in today so you don’t miss out!
We understand that some people might need to know their proposal acceptance status earlier than December, in order for them to arrange time off, travel, etc. To assist with this, there will be an early acceptance window starting on 17 November 2019. If you require notice during this early acceptance window, please indicate this in the Private Abstract when filling out your proposals.
To submit a proposal, create an account or login to view your Dashboard. Following this, you will first need to create your Speaker Profile, then you can submit your proposal(s). Each of the miniconfs will have a proposal type listed, and you are welcome to submit as many proposals as you like to as many miniconfs as you want.
