Frank,

It may not be a bad idea to also post this on the Consortium list.

Best wishes,

Ico

> 
> Dear reader,
> 
> as has been announced here 2 days ago by Marc Groenewegen, the
> next Linux
> Audio Conference (LAC#8) will take place at the HKM in Utrecht,
> Netherlands,
> from May 1st - 4th, 2010 (see http://lac.linuxaudio.org/2010).
> 
> We have now opened the Website that accepts paper submissions.
> Please direct your
> browser to http://lac.linuxaudio.org/2010/openconf
> 
> For those who have been following the LAC activities in the past years:
It's
> the same used&tested "OpenConf" web-based system that allows us to
> easily collect
> paper submissions, review them and create a programme from
> accepted papers.
> 
> The available categories for paper submission looks like this:
> 
> * Ambisonics
> * Education
> * Live performance
> * Audio Hardware Support
> * Signal Processing
> * Music Composition
> * Audio Languages
> * Sound Synthesis
> * Audio Plugins
> * MIDI
> * Music Production
> * Linux Kernel
> * Physical Computing
> * Interface Design
> * Linux Distributions
> * Networked Audio
> * Video
> * Games
> * Media Art
> * Licensing
> 
> Note that "Video" is also in the list. Yes, that's not strictly Audio :-),
but
> we feel that the two disciplines are close enough to one another to allow
> opening up the conference scope a bit here. After all, we have already
> had
> several very nice audio/video gigs in the past (some might remember
> the YUE
> concert in Karlsruhe 2006 with a remote VJ live from Italy, which was
> pretty
> groundbreaking at that time).
> Also, we very much welcome practical papers resp. software demos
> ("how I use
> Linux Audio applications to create my music/media art").
> 
> The web page also holds the paper templates that have to be used for
> submissions.
> Pick one of the two provided templates (LaTeX or OpenOffice), author
> your paper
> and convert it to PDF, then upload that PDF. Make sure you are using A4
> as
> paper size.
> 
> Some constraints:
> - The conference is held in English, so the paper has to be in English
too.
> 
> - Length of a paper is 4-8 pages. Papers have to include an abstract (50-
> 100
>   words). Also, papers should include up to 5 keywords.
> 
> - The copyright of the paper remains with you (of course), but we reserve
> the
>   right to create printed proceedings from all submitted (and accepted)
> papers.
> 
> - We have fixed the following dates:
>   - Deadline for paper submissions: February 14th, 2010
>   - Notification of paper acceptance: March 14th, 2010
>   - Deadline for final version of paper: April 4th, 2010
> 
> Please note that the OpenConf system is only to be used for paper
> submissions;
> for concert pieces ("Call for Music") or sound installation proposals,
> please
> contact us directly by email ("lac -at- linuxaudio -dot- org ").
> 
> We are looking forward to many interesting submissions for the 8th
> Linux Audio Conference and we hope to see you in Utrecht in 2010!
> 
> Please feel free to forward this e-mail to anybody who might be
> interested - mailing lists, blogs, Linux portals, magazines, you name
them.
> Public relation work for this conference is something we need, and where
> everybody can easily help.
> 
> Thanks for reading.
