We are pleased to announce that linux.conf.au 2013 (LCA2013) will once again include the Multimedia and Music miniconf. LCA2013 will be held in Canberra, Australia from 28 January to 2 February 2013, and the Multimedia and Music miniconf provides an opportunity for produces and consumers of multimedia and music content to meet and explore all aspects of production and playback of music, audio and video on open-source platforms. The Multimedia and Music miniconf call for papers is now open. We would love to see wide-ranging proposals from across the FOSS multimedia and music community: - from developers of open-source multimedia and music software, discussing new and upcoming features, clever solutions to problems or interesting ideas they are exploring - from users who have built up a workflow which they want to share - from anyone who is doing awesome things with open-source audio and video software that they want to tell the world about Presentation slots of 20 and 50 minutes (plus 5 minutes question time) will be available, with the number of 50 minute talks being determined by the number of proposals received. Past Multimedia and Music miniconfs have featured both user-focused tutorials and talks aimed at developers; please browse our past miniconf websites to see the diverse range of presentations we have had in the past: * http://www.annodex.org/events/lca2013_mmm/#previous To submit a proposal please email your proposal to one of the organisers as described on our "Call for papers" page at: http://www.annodex.org/events/lca2013_mmm/pmwiki.php/Main/CallForPapers The call for papers is open-ended but priority will be given to those who submit proposals prior to 30 October 2012.
