Frank,

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

Best wishes,

 Subject: [LAU] Linux Audio Conference 2010: Call for Papers now open

 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.

 On behalf of the LAC2010 organisation team,
 Frank Neumann
