Hello,
I just received the LinuxTag call for papers.
There are some changes: LinuxTag decided to join up with droidcon and
re:publica, which also includes a location change (but it's still in
Berlin, Germany).
Also note the changed date - May 8 - 10
(an annoucement after last year's LinuxTag contained a date at the end
of June)
You can find the call for papers below, the call for projects will open
in February - I hope we can have an openSUSE booth there again :-)
Note: I removed lots of tracking links before forwarding the mail, so
please don't be too surprised if the text says "click here" and you can't
find a link nearby ;-) - just click here: http://linuxtag.org/2014/

Betreff: LinuxTag: Call for Papers
Datum: Sonntag, 26. Januar 2014
Dear Christian Boltz,
since you contributed in the past to LinuxTag, we'd like to update you about
this year's event scheduled for ** May 8 - 10, 2014 in Berlin, Germany ** . We
stay in Germany's capital, but a lot of other exiting things change: First of
all, we ** team up with droidcon ** , the world's larges independent summit
for Android developer and ** re:publica ** , one of the world's most important
festivals for the digital society. We also move the venue right into the heart
of Berlin, to an industrial landmark, a loungy former railway station in
Berlin's Kreuzberg quarter.
Behind the scenes we've taken over the organization of the whole event and are
thus much ** more flexible for special arrangements ** . LinuxTag Association
still organizes the program in a ** non-for-profit ** way and depends thus on
** support from sponsors ** . You could help LinuxTag by sending us
appropriate contacts from your marketing or recruiting departments to [
sponsoring@linuxtag.org ] , if this is feasible. Your help is highly appreciated.
Our ** Call for Papers ** is open as in previous years at
[ Virtual Conference Center ]
and is waiting for your proposals until ** Feburary 7, 2014. ** Our program
committee decided to focus the conference on nine main topics. Click on the
links to find out about the holistic idea behind the subjects originating from
the day-to-day experiences of Linux and Open Source users, administrators, and
developers:
* [ Find out: Tracing, troubleshooting, and logging ]
* [ Protect yourself: Security after Snowden ]
* [ Fancy a game? Linux' new steps into entertainment ]
* [ Make it so: Configuration management and software deployment ]
* [ Roll your own: Bring back your servers home ]
* [ Extensible Attic: Deal with vast amounts of data ]
* [ Pimp the Web: Speed up your apps and improve user experience ]
* [ Go agile: Small steps for your code, but a giant leap for Users ]
* [ OpenStack: One IaaS platform for all needs ]
We appreciate any proposals and ask you to ** relay this message to friends,
team members, or co-workers ** . Apart from the main topics, we also gladly
accept ** proposals for other subjects ** . Additionally, for the first time
we have also the opportunity to have more informal lectures, workshops, or
mini barcamps in the evening, since we may use the venue until late.
We're also looking for ** session chairs ** , who support reviewing proposals,
and ** moderators/crew members ** who help us during the conference. If you
are interested, drop us a note at [ conference@linuxtag.org ] .
Don't hestitate to ask if you have questions. Suggest ideas to improve
LinuxTag.
On behalf of the conference team,
Tobias Paepke and Nils Magnus
