linux.conf.au - Call for Papers for LCA2010
WELLINGTON, New Zealand ‚ linux.conf.au announced the opening of its Call for Papers for LCA2010. linux.conf.au isn't
just a Linux conference. It is a conference about Free and Open Source Software, held annually in Australasia since 1999
- covering everything from the Linux Kernel and the BSDs to OpenOffice.org, from networking to audio-visual magic, from
hardware hacks to Creative Commons and open standards and data in government and education sectors.
"The presentations that make up our programme are important to linux.conf.au, they give our speakers an excellent
opportunity to inform a growing audience about the new advances they've made," says Andrew Ruthven, LCA2010 Director.

and tutorial submissions, that not only educate our delegates but also challenge and motivate them."
