This means that I have a 45 minute slot (or two 20 minute slots) available. It would be great to fill these, so if anyone attending LCA2016 would like to talk about a multimedia or music related topic now's your chance! Please contact me as soon as possible and we can work though the details. The schedule gap is currently from 13:20 to 14:15 but I could rearrange things if needed to fit in with existing commitments during the day.

The Multimedia and Music Miniconf program will be updated once some final details have been sorted out (hopefully within the next 24 hours). We still have space for lightning talks and demos (musical or software), so please get in touch or catch up with me during the miniconf on Monday if you would like to take part.
