From josh at nitrotech.org Wed Dec 2 21:31:12 2015 From: josh at nitrotech.org (Joshua Hesketh) Date: Wed, 2 Dec 2015 21:31:12 +1100 Subject: [LCA2016-Announce] =?utf-8?q?Open_Cloud_Symposium_Call_for_Propos?= =?utf-8?b?YWxzIOKAkyBMQ0EyMDE2?= Message-ID: <565EC870.5010504@nitrotech.org> We are pleased to announce that the call for proposals to the Open Cloud Symposium for linux.conf.au 2016 is now open! The symposium ? a one day mini-conference dedicated to all things cloud ? will be held on Monday 01 February 2016 in Geelong, Victoria as part of linux.conf.au 2016. Presentation subjects are warmly invited from a wide range of topics related to cloud. This includes practically any layer of the typical *aaS stack, containers, software defined networking/infrastructure and other emerging technology. Talks targeted at any relevant audiences are encouraged, such as: - System administration and operation of clouds, - Development of clouds and developer talks, - Cloud application development and users of cloud components. The symposium is agnostic of the cloud software presented ? so long as it is open source. The organisers are looking to get a wide variety of technologies represented and welcome proposals from as many cloud flavours as possible. If you have something interesting to talk about, please head on over to http://goo.gl/forms/IH8surT5Zs to lodge your submission. Dates: - CFP open: 02/12/2015 - CFP close: 29/12/2015 - Conference starts: 01/02/2016 Help dispersing this CFP to other mailing lists or individuals that you think would be well suited to presenting would be greatly appreciated. Presenters at the Open Cloud Symposium need to be delegates of linux.conf.au; so make sure you?ve registered at http://linux.conf.au/register/info. Even if you?re not presenting, you should consider attending this fantastic conference (and mini-conferences). Any questions or queries can be directed to josh at nitrotech.org Cheers, The Open Cloud Symposium organisers. http://sites.rcbops.com/opencloud_symposium/ == About Open Cloud Symposium == The Open Cloud Symposium will be held on Monday 01 February 2016 in Geelong, Victoria as part of linux.conf.au 2016. The Open Cloud Symposium is a one day mini-conference dedicated to all things cloud held as part of the main linux.conf.au conference. A ticket for linux.conf.au is required to attend the event. == About linux.conf.au == Linux Conference Australia, officially ?linux.conf.au? and affectionately known as ?LCA?, started life as the the Congress of Australian Linux Users in 1999. Since 2001, the conference has been held around different cities and towns in both Australia and New Zealand, attracting both Linux professionals and passionate hobbyists. linux.conf.au is an informal, grass-roots event, where the hallway track is just as valuable as the formal conference schedule. The conference has spawned a close knit and tightly connected community in Australia and overseas. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Details regarding this year's OHMC and workshop project can be found here ... http://www.openhardwareconf.org/wiki/OHC2016 https://github.com/CCHS-Melbourne/workshop-esplant If you'd like to attend the morning workshop session to learn about, assemble and program your own ESPlant, then please register here ... Open Hardware MiniConf 2016 Registration Form http://goo.gl/forms/JxcJ2YjQnI We have a limit of 30 attendees, which allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Note: You do NOT need to register if you only want to attend the afternoon presentions. Looking forward to having another great day of hacking hardware !

Time in the afternoon has been structured to allow for both full presentations and lightning talks: Full presentations are *20 minutes*. Lightning talks are *5 minutes*. This is a friendly environment in which to make an informal low-stress presentation, so it?s a great opportunity if you haven?t done conference presentations before. Topics Your talk can cover just about anything related to Open Hardware, such as: * A show-and-tell for one of your projects * Design techniques * Basic electronics for software developers * Interfacing with hardware, e.g sensors, actuators, displays, motors, geiger counters * Driver or library development for embedded systems * Development environments, software, and tools * Working within microcontroller limitations * Internet of Things, wearable computing, vehicle telemetry * Licensing for hardware * The business aspects of Open Hardware The audience will consist primarily of software developers, since this event takes place as an adjunct to linux.conf.au. What the Open Hardware Miniconf does is give the hard-core devs who typically attend linux.conf.au an opportunity to experience the joy of hardware hacking (http://jon.oxer.com.au/blog/id/358). Submitting a Proposal So if you are attending LCA2016 (Geelong) in February and would like to present, please email Andy Gelme andyg at geekscape.org with ... * Your name * Brief biography (noting any previous speaking experience) * Talk title * Brief outline of your proposed talk * Notes of any special equipment / facilities you may require * Talk type (20 minute presentation or 5 minute lightning talk) This only needs to be a few sentences: don't spend days on your proposal, just put it down in a quick email. We can always discuss details later if required. Other information The Open Hardware MiniConf website at http://www.openhardwareconf.org Please contact the miniconf organisers if you have any questions about the miniconf. Feel free to forward this Call For Presentations to anyone who might be interested in participating in the Open Hardware MiniConf.

Thanks for the fantastic interest in the OHMC hardware assembly project / session. We have received 30 registrations ... and all subsequent registrations will go onto a wait-list. We will be sending out details regarding payment arrangements to those first 30 registered attendees. For those on the wait-list, we will have some additional ESPlant development kits (a few, not a lot) ... so, we'll aim to look after you the best we can. We'll certainly let you know if any of the first 30 registrations cancel. Either way, please catch-up with us during LCA2016 ... and something can be worked out (depending upon demand). Note: For those "friends of the Open Hardware MiniConf (nee Arduino MiniConf)" who have seriously helped out during the previous years, if you've missed out ... please get in touch and we'll see what we can do. Whilst there is no soldering involved ... there will still be a need for "helpers", just like the previous years.
