Wer dort regelmäßig über die Aktivitäten in der Community informiert werden möchte, kann sich hier anmelden: https://mail.dzug.org/mailman/listinfo/orga Für alle, die einen Vortrag beim LinuxTag über Zope halten wollen, hier der CfP: Anfang der weitergeleiteten E-Mail: > Von: Marko Jung | LinuxTag <[email protected]> > Datum: 19. Januar 2009 02:15:00 MEZ > An: [email protected], [email protected] > Betreff: [LT08-Pro-Announce] LinuxTag 2009: Call for Papers > Antwort an: [email protected],Marko Jung | LinuxTag <[email protected] > > > > Dear friends and colleagues! > > I hope you all had a great holiday season and good start into the > new year. We have had a great time at the 'Free Software End of Year > Reception' in Berlin and carried forward LinuxTag's tradition to our > Call for Papers (CfP) around Christmas time. > > On behalf of LinuxTags conference team I kindly ask you to spread > the news on the Call for Papers within your project on all available > channels. As you know LinuxTag is Europe's leading event for Linux > and Open Source where presentations on your project should not be > missing. Thus you should try to get even double the amount of > proposals for LinuxTag's conference submitted by colleagues from > your project as last year. > > Find the CfP attached or in the web: http://www.linuxtag.org/2009/en/program/call-for-papers.html > > Thank you very much for your support! > > Best regards, > Marko > > > > PS. As already mentioned before, the Call for Projects (CfPro) will > start in about two months. Stay tuned - we keep you posted. > > > Call for Papers > > for the > > 15th International LinuxTag > June 24–27, 2009 Berlin Fairgrounds, Germany > > LinuxTag gets people not just to use free software, but to live > it. Speakers at LinuxTag present useful, interesting topics that > indicate coming trends. Free software permits real cost savings — will > the financial crisis put not employees, but proprietary solutions out > of a job? The read-write society and the many-eyes principle have > shown that sheer mass of users and developers leads to innovative, > high-quality products. Examples include Wikipedia, OpenStreetMap and > the Linux kernel itself. The program committee for the 15th LinuxTag > is seeking proposals for the lecture program on topics including, but > not limited to, the following: > > - Open hardware, > - Software and development, > - Application examples and case studies, > - Free software in education, research, and administration, > - Collaboration among several projects and initiatives, and > - Cool New Inventions and Experiments (CNIE). > > In addition, LinuxTag has chosen three core themes for its 2009 > conference program. The program committee is seeking proposals on > these themes in particular: > > - Mobility: Small devices are driving dynamic Linux growth. How are > netbooks and smart phones shifting the operating system’s image? > What are developers up to right now? > > - Processes: Free software supports the increasingly complex > processes in businesses today. How does it ensure scalability, > flexibility and security? > > - Responsibility: Many IT users are concerned with the ramifications > of information technology. What makes for cost effective and > energy-efficient computing? What do we know about the social and > economic aspects of free software? > > In addition, the program committee will consider all other proposals > on Linux and open-source-related themes. Inquiries may be addressed to > the committee by e-mail. Unannounced proposal submissions are also > welcome, however. > > What Is Expected of Speakers > > The Free Lecture Program is organized in several tracks that take > place simultaneously. The tracks are aimed at audiences interested in > both technical and social aspects of open-source software. As a > speaker, you should be an expert in your field — for example, an > active member of your project or initiative, a developer, or a member > of a pertinent profession, such as a lawyer. > > The user-oriented lecture series presents selected applications and > provides practical help for day-to-day work with Linux systems. As a > speaker in this section, you should have a demonstrable aptitude for > understandable communication. The Business and Government Agencies > lecture series features application examples and case studies on the > professional use of Linux and open source software. The presentations > in this section are aimed at interested, qualified representatives of > businesses and government agencies. Speakers in this section generally > report on experiences in their work with service providers and other > private and public-sector organizations. Each presentation is alloted > a total of 60 minutes, including questions and answers and set-up time > for the following talk. Other time frames are possible in special > circumstances by arrangement with the program committee. > > Speaker Acceptance Procedure > > If you would like to be a speaker, you can submit key information on > your proposal electronically through in the Virtual Conference Center > (vCC) at https://www.linuxtag.org/vcc/. You do not need to submit the > full text of your presentation in your initial response to this Call > for Papers. The LinuxTag website contains additional tips for > optimizing the content of presentations. Presentations and proposals > can be in German or English. The abstract accompanying your proposal > should be in the same language as the proposed presentation. Choose > the language in which you can best express yourself. The program > committee especially welcomes submissions in English, since LinuxTag > is an international event. After the deadline for submissions, the > program committee will evaluate the abstracts submitted with regard to > content, clarity and technical depth. LinuxTag will then notify you if > your proposal is accepted, and will provide a style sheet to guide you > in preparing a full written version of your presentation — generally > about ten pages of text — in the Open Document Format (ODF). This is > the version that will appear in the conference proceedings. You may > also submit presentation slides. From this point on, presentations and > author information are submitted only through the vCC. The program > committee does not accept such information by e-mail. If the full > version differs drastically in form or content from the accepted > abstract, the program committee reserves the right to reject the > submission. Authors who submit their presentations only in a format > other than ODF, such as HTML, PDF, LaTeX or a proprietary format, > cannot apply for remuneration of accommodation or travel expenses. > > Use of Submitted Presentations > > LinuxTag e. V. and its partners must be granted a perpetual, full, > non-exclusive license to use the presentation submitted, and to > publish it in electronic and other forms, including digital form on > CD, DVD, or the Internet, and in print. A list of recognized licenses > that fulfill these requirements is available for authors to choose > from. The titles and abstracts of presentations and the authors' names > and biographical sketches will be published in the conference program > on the LinuxTag website and in the printed program, if any, upon > acceptance by the program committee. The actual presentation may be > recorded audiovisually. The resulting recording will be subject to the > same license conditions as the submitted presentation text. By > submitting a presentation, you express your assent to these > conditions. Submissions that are subject to any restrictions or > reservations, such as non-disclosure agreements for example, cannot be > considered and will not be evaluated. The submissions and their > contents will be treated confidentially until the proposal has been > accepted. The evaluations will be kept in strict confidence, and will > be accessible only to members of the program committee. The committee > will endeavor as far as possible to give every applicant feedback on > the proposal submitted. Upon inquiry, the program committee will be > happy to clarify the results of its evaluation. > > Speakers at LinuxTag > > LinuxTag offers all speakers free admission to its exclusive evening > social event, LinuxNacht. Additional admission tickets for partners > can be purchased. On request, LinuxTag will be happy to reserve a > hotel room in the official speakers' hotel for each speaker who > submits a presentation promptly in the specified format. Limited funds > are available to subsidize speakers' accommodation and travel > expenses. Speakers can apply for aid from this fund. Where granted, > such aid generally covers the cost of up to two nights' accommodation > with breakfast, regardless of the number of presentations given. In > case of joint presentations by several speakers, expenses are limited > to one room with double occupancy for two nights. Special rates are > available for subsequent nights at your own expense. The available > speaker accommodations cannot be exchanged for other forms of > remuneration, since LinuxTag reserves the rooms as a block. LinuxTag > normally does not reimburse travel expenses. However, limited funds > are available to aid participants who cannot otherwise meet the cost > of travel to LinuxTag. Many companies are willing to pay an employee's > travel expenses in return for an acknowledgment on a slide at the end > of the presentation, for example. All requests for travel aid must be > submitted by the deadline specified below. LinuxTag cannot guarantee > that any specific amount will be reimbursed. In most cases, the aid > granted covers only part of the actual travel expenses. Expenses are > reimbursed only after the event on presentation of original documents > such as railway or airline tickets or gasoline receipts. > > Important Deadlines > > LinuxTag reserves the right to revoke invitations if submission > deadlines are not met. > > Submission deadline for proposals: February 8, 2009. > Notification of acceptance or rejection: March 7, 2009. > Submission deadline for travel aid requests: March 21, 2009. > Submission deadline for full versions: April 11, 2009. > > All submissions are due by 11:59 p.m. UTC on the given date. > > Examples of possible subjects of LinuxTag presentations include, but > are not limited to: > > Software development, system administration, GNOME, KDE, Linux > desktops virtualization, databases, security, networking, kernel > development, drivers, subsystems, corporate applications, multimedia, > video, audio, Linux distributions, mobile applications, embedded > systems, wikis, blogs, podcasts, remixing, mashups, *2.0, How-tos for > novices, social and economic issues, document management, data > centers, storage, HA, maps, geoinformation systems, web development, > web languages, migrations, success stories, medicine, and health care. > > Contact Us > > LinuxTag 2009 on the web: http://www.linuxtag.org/ > > LinuxTag Virtual Conference Center (vCC): https://www.linuxtag.org/vcc/ > > Program committee: [email protected] > > Exhibitors' liaison: [email protected] > > Berlin, Germany: http://www.berlin.de/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (Darwin) iEYEARECAAYFAkl29+0ACgkQPUzUEFbILMQMXgCgk8Ied6ixMPOcq0LYx9/SZoVO UMcAoJA9nhIL/XiaH81MeGe/MscCMsfB =oTyP -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ zope mailing list [email protected] https://mail.dzug.org/mailman/listinfo/zope
