linux.conf.au Kernel Miniconf 2022 - Call for Proposals

tl;dr

About the Kernel Miniconf

linux.conf.au 2022 will be held online, from 14-16 January 2022. The Kernel Miniconf is returning once again to discuss all things kernel.

The Kernel Miniconf is a single-day miniconf track about everything related to the kernel and low-level systems programming.

The Kernel Miniconf invites talks about up-and-coming kernel developments, the future direction of the kernel, and kernel development community and process matters. Past Kernel Miniconfs have covered topics such as memory management, RCU, scheduling, testing/CI and filesystems, as well as community and process topics such as licensing, developer workflows, safety critical processes, and so on.

Who can speak?

Anyone with something interesting and kernel-related to say!

We strongly encourage both first-time and seasoned speakers from all backgrounds, ages, genders, nationalities, ethnicities, religions and abilities. Like the main LCA conference itself, we respect and encourage diversity at our miniconf. If you would like any assistance with creating a proposal, don't hesitate to ask!

In a change to previous policy: miniconf speakers in 2022 will receive a free ticket.

As this conference is being hosted online, speakers will need an appropriate environment with internet access and a webcam to stream their talk live. The conference schedule is in UTC+11 - we will consider speakers' timezones when making scheduling decisions.

Submission process

Proposals are being handled through the LCA submission system.

To submit a proposal, please go to the LCA Website. You'll need to have an account on the LCA registration system and create a speaker profile.

All miniconf sessions are 30 minutes in length.

We aim to notify submitters of the outcome of the selection process within 7 days of the closing date.
