ORIGINAL ANNOUNCEMENT --------------------- freed.in - New Delhi 2007 - September 28-29
freed.in isn't just a Linux conference. It is a technical conference about Free Software and related topics, held annually in New Delhi. We invite submissions on any Free Software related subject; from Linux and the BSDs to OpenOffice.org, from networking to audio-visual magic, from deep hacks to Creative Commons. Important dates
* Submissions open: July 15, 2007 * Submission deadline: August 16, 2007 * Email notifications from review committee: August 20, 2007 * Conference begins: September 28, 2007
Presentations being accepted
We are accepting proposals for two different types of presentation: you can submit a proposal for a talk or a tutorial. If in doubt, you want to submit a talk proposal rather than a tutorial proposal.
Call for Papers
Talks are the main part of the conference: a series of presentations on Free Software related subjects. This year there will be 20-30 presentations. Presenters will be given a 50 minute slot, which includes up to 10 minutes for questions.
The main programme also has 8 tutorial slots. Tutorials are longer and more interactive presentations, with slots lasting for 160 minutes, giving the speaker time to interact with the audience. Proposals for tutorials should be clear about the level of expertise required of the audience.
Most presentations and tutorials will be technical in nature, but proposals for presentations on other aspects of Free Software and Free Culture, such as educational and cultural aspects are welcome.
Topics
Submissions related to the following topics are welcome:
* General Papers (very strict accept policy!) * System Administration * Collaboration and Communication * Scientific and Research Tools * Native Language Computing * Legal Aspects of FLOSS
