First Open Knowledge Australia Miniconf! ======================================== 2016 is the first time the Open Knowledge Australia Miniconf has been held at linux.conf.au. Its ongoing viability will be dependent upon its success this year - so it's a great reason to be part of the Miniconf. Submissions ----------- Please include the following information: * A working title * A brief abstract which specifies the area of open knowledge that you'd like to present on * Your preferred presentation format Submissions should be emailed to me, Matthew Cengia, via [email protected] Dates and deadlines ------------------- The Call for Papers will close at 23:59 on Sunday 13 December 2015, and you will hear by 1 January 2016 whether or not your talk is accepted. Restrictions ------------ In order to present you must be a deletgate of LCA2016, or have a Miniconf day ticket. If cost is an issue for you, I have a very limited number of free Miniconf day tickets available. Presentation formats -------------------- This year, presenters have the following options: * A 20 minute presentation with 5 minutes for questions * A 45 minute presentation with 5 minutes for questions * 5 minute lightning talks Possible Topics --------------- Open Knowledge is a wide and varied topic. We are looking for presentations that demonstrate or promote open technologies and methods. Open software is a key area of interest, especially software that in itself promotes openness, such as CKAN, an open source platform that acts as a portal to open data. Other examples might include the OpenStreetMap software, which promotes crowd-sourced and open-licence mapping, and Authorea, which promotes open journals and research. We recognise that software is not the only tool for promoting openness, and we are also very keen to include talks on the values of open hardware, maker spaces, open government and open communities. New and emerging Speakers encouraged ------------------------------------ Open Knowledge Miniconf actively encourages new and emerging Speakers to submit a presentation. It's great experience, and great professional development. -- Regards, Matthew Cengia _______________________________________________ linux-aus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linux.org.au/mailman/listinfo/linux-aus
