I am pleased to announce that the proposal for a Gentoo mini-conf has been accepted by the linux.conf.au 2008 team! This will be the first ever Gentoo mini-conf, with the aim of bringing together and educating Gentoo users or people interested in the Gentoo metadistribution. Gentoo Down Under is slated to run for half a day on Tuesday 29th January 2008, with a finishing time of around mid-afternoon. The mini-conf will take place at the University of Melbourne (together with the rest of linux.conf.au)

Call For Papers

There are speaking slots for:

How these slots will be allocated will depend on the proposals submitted.

Presentations should be related to Gentoo use, and can be targeted at either current users or new users. Proposal submissions should include: the author's name, contact details, topic title, expected running time, experience and any other relevant details.

Anyone interested in giving a talk should email their submission to mark_alec|AT|gentoo.org

More Information?

If you would like more information about what is being planned for GDU, or have any suggestions about what you would like to see, contact myself via email, in #gentoo-au or via these forums.

Developers of another popular distribution have expressed an interest in attending a talk about Gentoo Hardened. As yet, we do not have anyone who is experienced with Gentoo Hardened and is attending the mini-conf. Thus, I am throwing open a request to the Gentoo Hardened community for someone to come along (self-funded, unfortunately) and share their words of wisdom with us in a 40-50 minute talk on this subject. Such a talk would dovetail in nicely with the rest of this mini-conf's schedule, seeing as it would be of a more technical nature than the sessions already planned.

As before, if anyone is interested, please contact me.

One of the sessions being planned will be a series of three tutorials, each devoted to one of Gentoo's package managers. We already have a speaker for Paludis, but still need presenters for Portage and Pkgcore. Each tutorial only needs to last 10-20 minutes, and can target new or experienced users.

As before, contact me if you are interested.
