LinuxConf AU 2019 is in Christchurch in beautiful New Zealand!

linux.conf.au is a conference where people gather to learn about the entire world of Free and Open Source Software, directly from the people who contribute. Many of these contributors give scheduled presentations, but much interaction occurs in-between and after formal sessions between all attendees. Our aim is to create a deeply technical conference where we bring together industry leaders and experts on a wide range of subjects.

linux.conf.au welcomes submissions from first-time and seasoned speakers, from all free and open technology communities, and all walks of life. We respect and encourage diversity at our conference.

Our theme for linux.conf.au 2019 is “The Linux of Things”. Building on the role that Linux plays in our everyday lives, we will address IoT-related opportunities and concerns from the purely technical through environmental, health, privacy, security and more.

Please let this inspire you, but not restrict you - we will still have many talks about other interesting things in our community.

We’re accepting submissions for three different types of proposal:

• Presentation (45 minutes): These are generally presented in lecture format and form the bulk of the available conference slots.
• Tutorial (100 minutes): These are generally presented in a classroom format. They should be interactive or hands-on in nature. Tutorials are expected to have a specific learning outcome for attendees.
• Miniconf (full-day): Single-track mini-conferences that run for the duration of a day on either Monday or Tuesday. We provide the room, and you provide the speakers. Together, you can explore a field in Free and Open Source software in depth.

The CFP is closing soon, so please submit your proposal ASAP!
