Re: [LACTTE] Community Update: a small reminder. linux.conf.au 2022 Call for Sessions open + Extended

Hi again everyone,

Just a reminder that submissions are due this weekend. We would really 
like to see those submit numbers go up so we can have a substantial 
conference program for you to attend. Also, please spread the word to 
your networks/communities.

Thanks,

Sae Ra
