We are looking for papers falling into two basic categories, those focussing on educational issues from a Linux perspective which will be presented on the Monday, and those focussing on technical issues with Linux in education, presented on the Tuesday.
If your paper doesn't fall neatly into either category, fear not, the distinction is being made primarily to assist attendees with limited time available in choosing how to spend that time.
This is a technical conference, not a trade show, so a presentation which is essentially a product demo for your product is not appropriate, but a presentation about publicly available technology of which your product is one example is fine, provided that you really are addressing the technology and not a particular product. If you want to promote a particular product or company, talk to us about sponsorship.
A precis of the paper and some idea of who you are should be lodged with us before 04 November 2002. We will then select from among the papers, notify you of your successful bid, and ask you for your preferred placement and any special requirements by the end of October.
Speakers must be registered with the main (LCA2003) conference; if you have special requirements or need some special arrangement in order to be able to attend, mention that when submitting and we will negotiate on a case-by-case basis with the organisers of the main conference.
educationaLinux is somewhat of a pilot programme, it is 100% unfunded but is able to ride on the coat-tails of the main conference to the extent of using rooms, projectors, sound-recording and other facilities set up for LCA2003.
If it is the success that we're expecting, it will at least become a permanent adjunct to LCA, and/or possibly become a conference in its own right.
educationaLinux is also yet another good reason to come to LCA2003. It's going to be a great show, and Perth is one of the better places in the world to hold a conference, with great climate but city convenience and something to see and do for all kinds of tourists if you're interested in dallying afterwards.
LCA ends on Australia Day, with the annual Sky Show fireworks, which is personally attended by over 10% of Perth's population, and eagerly watched by many of the rest from vantage points across the city. LCA2003 really does end with a bang!
