Southern Plumbers Mini-conference (LCA 2011 - Brisbane) As part of LCA 2011, we are organising a mini-conference to provide a place for low-level system developers to gather and discuss interesting aspects of the kernel and lowlevel userspace. This miniconf is aimed at a similiar audience to the Linux Plumbers Conference. We'd really like to have talks that are entry points to open floor discussions and interactive sessions, though if a talk is interesting enough it will be considered depending on the quality of other submissions. Areas of interest: - Linux kernel - X.org / Mesa - toolchain/gdb (not deep compiler stuff, more system interactions) - udev/u*/*Kit/hal replacements - systemd/upstart/sysvinit - virtualisation The Southern Plumbers mini-conference is planned for Monday 24th Jan 2011. Please send all submissions to airlied@gmail.com. Submissions will close on Friday, October 29th (when I leave for the real Linux Plumbers Conference), though I may accept submission over the week of LPC as well if I can drum up interest.
