Miniconf is back at <a href="http://linux.conf.au/" target="_blank">Linux.conf.au</a> 2011 (LCA2011). <a href="http://linux.conf.au/" target="_blank">Linux.conf.au</a> 2011 will<br>
be hosted in Brisbane, Australia from 24-29 January 2011 with the<br>
miniconfs being held over the first two days. For more information about<br>

<br>
Multimedia encapsulates a wide variety of topics: composition and playpack<br>
of video, audio and music. Submissions are now invited from those<br>
interested in giving presentations or short tutorials at the Multimedia<br>
miniconf on any topic related to opensource multimedia software, such as<br>
the following:<br>
<br>
* exciting new additions to existing software<br>
* development of new multimedia programs<br>
* how to set Linux up for multimedia composition, authoring and/or<br>
playback<br>
* great user experiences with open source multimedia software<br>
* legal issues surrounding multimedia content and its use with open<br>
source software<br>
* descriptions of multimedia workflows: tools used, process followed,<br>
and so forth<br>
* upcoming features in low-level infrastructure (JACK, ALSA,<br>
PulseAudio, etc)<br>
* any other open source multimedia topic we haven't thought of<br>
<br>
It is expected that most of the miniconf presentation slots will be around<br>
20 minutes with question time to follow. We may be able to accommodate<br>
longer 50 minute presentations depending on the number of proposals<br>
offered. In addition, time will be allocated for 5 minute "lightning<br>
talks". Projection facilities will be available. Please note that in<br>
line with <a href="http://linux.conf.au/" target="_blank">linux.conf.au</a> guidelines miniconfs cannot receive funding, nor<br>
can they provide travel or accommodation assistance. In general<br>
presenters and attendees at miniconfs must be registered for LCA2011<br>
although miniconf-only registration can be arranged - contact the<br>
multimedia minconf organisers for more information.<br>
<br>
