<br>
This is the announcement you have been waiting for.<br>
<br>
We've come to the conclusion that doing a full LAC at the announced date is<br>
impossible, as our sponsoring setup didn't work out, therefore we have decided<br>
to go ahead with a miniLAC instead.<br>
<br>
Since we have already planned a lot of stuff, we thought it would be a shame to<br>
let all the work go to waste, so we asked a few people whether they'd be<br>
interested in a more compact and reduced conference program.<br>
<br>
What we can currently offer with the resources available are:<br>
* a lecture track<br>
* workshop tracks (one of which will use the c-base soundlab)<br>
* live audio sessions<br>
* hacking sessions<br>
* tours around interesting berlin places<br>
* linux audio nights<br>
<br>
This miniature version of a Linux Audio Conference is still planned to take<br>
place during the (kind of) announced date: 8.-10. April 2016. The location is<br>
now set:<br>
c-base, the spacestation below Berlin Mitte (<a href="http://c-base.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://c-base.org</a>)<br>
<br>
Our plan is to start off on Friday with a meet-and-greet evening at c-base,<br>
where we will have an open stage for anyone who wants to connect their devices.<br>
<br>
Since we don't have the originally intended resources, we will have to limit<br>
attendance to around 150 participants.<br>
<br>
Additionally, if there is interest for this (especially for people arriving<br>
earlier), we'll try to organize optional visits to other Berlin locations on<br>
Friday 8. April.<br>
<br>
Please create an account on our wiki, to be able to set things up with us:<br>
<a href="http://frab.linuxaudio.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://frab.linuxaudio.org</a> (will later move on to<br>
<a href="http://minilac.linuxaudio.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://minilac.linuxaudio.org</a>).<br>
The wiki is still a work in progress, but should feature all necessary<br>
information by the end of the week.<br>
<br>
To satisfy your academic paper skills, we intend to support another crew that<br>
could organize a second conference part at the FrosCon 2016<br>
(<a href="http://www.froscon.de/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.froscon.de/</a>), which is happening in Bonn 20th and 21st of August.<br>
