<br>
The <a href="http://linux.conf.au" target="_blank">linux.conf.au</a> 2022 Call for Sessions is now open. It will stay
open until 11:59pm 5 September 2021 Anywhere on Earth (AoE).<br>
<br>
<br>
The theme for 2022 is 'community'.<br>
<br>
After the challenges of the past year, our community has explored
ways to rebuild the connections we were used to having
face-to-face. Many Open Source communities already had their roots
online, so how can this be applied to other areas, and how can we
keep people interested as they shift to living even more of their
lives online? How can we keep in contact with connections in other
countries in a virtual way?<br>
<br>
If you have ideas or developments you'd like to share with the
open source community at <a href="http://linux.conf.au" target="_blank">linux.conf.au</a>, we'd love to hear from
you.<br>
<br>
<br>
## Call for Sessions<br>
<br>
The main conference runs on Saturday 15 and Sunday 16 January,
with multiple streams catering for a wide range of interest areas.<br>
We invite you to submit a session proposal on a topic you are
familiar with via our proposals portal at
<a href="https://lca2022.linux.org.au/programme/proposals/" target="_blank">https://lca2022.linux.org.au/programme/proposals/</a>.<br>
Talks are 45 minute presentations on a single topic presented in
lecture format. Each accepted talk will receive one ticket to
attend the conference.<br>
<br>
<br>
## Call for Miniconfs<br>
<br>
We are pleased to announce we will again have four Miniconfs on
the first day, Friday 14 January 2022. These are:<br>
<br>
* GO GLAM meets Community<br>
* Kernel<br>
* Open Hardware<br>
* System Administration<br>
<br>
Based on feedback over a few years, we will be introducing two
major changes for Miniconfs in 2022: all presentations will be 30
minutes long, and each accepted presentation will receive one
ticket to the conference.<br>
<br>
The Call for Miniconf Sessions is now open on our website, so we
encourage you to submit your proposal today. Check out our
Miniconfs page at
<a href="https://lca2022.linux.org.au/programme/miniconfs/" target="_blank">https://lca2022.linux.org.au/programme/miniconfs/</a> for more
information.<br>
<br>
<br>
## No need to book flights or hotels<br>
<br>
Don't forget: the conference will be an online, virtual
experience. This means our speakers will be beaming in from their
own homes or workplaces.<br>
The organising team will be able to help speakers with their tech
set-up. Each accepted presenter will have a tech check prior to
the event to smooth out any difficulties and there will be an
option to pre-record presentations.<br>
<br>
<br>
## Introducing LCA Local<br>
<br>
We know many of you have missed the experience of a face-to-face
conference and in 2022 we are launching LCA Local.<br>
While our conference will be online, we are inviting people to
join others in their local area and participate in the conference
together. More information and an expression of interest form for
LCA Local will be released soon.<br>
<br>
<br>
## Have you got an idea?<br>

and volunteering their time to help put this conference together.<br>
