Announcement and Call For Papers:
6th International Linux Kongress 1999
=====================================
The 6th International Linux Kongress 1999 will be held from September
8 to September 10 at the University of Augsburg/Germany. It follows
the tradition of the Linux conference series (Heidelberg 94, Berlin
95/96, W"urzburg 97 and Cologne 98) which has evolved into the most
important meeting for Linux-experts and -developers.
The conference will offer up to 25 talks during two days (September 9
and 10) in two parallel tracks. The first track will be dedicated to
Linux development, the second track will be intended to accomodate
talks about Linux applications and usage. Each talk will be 40 minutes
(possibly including discussion). The language of the talks will be
English or exceptionally German.
The two tracks will contain a combination of invited talks and
refereed papers. The 1999 Linux Kongress Program Committee seeks
original and innovative papers about the current Linux kernel
development and about Linux applications and usage.
Some particularly interesting Linux development topics are:
- Linux 2.2
- hardware architectures
- integration of new hardware developments
Interesting application and usage topics include but are
not limited to:
- clustering
- game development
In addition to the talks, there will be some tutorials on September 8.
Proposals are welcome. Topics will be announced later.
For participants, interested in a particular topic not covererd by the
program, we offer additional informal gatherings (Birds-of-a-Feather
sessions). BoFs may be scheduled at the conference or in advance by
mailing the program chair.
In order to provide the best possible talk offerings, we solicit
proposals for new talks. Questions regarding a topic's relevance to the
conference may be addressed to the program chair via email to
ch...@linux-kongress.de. An abstract (at least 1 full page) is required
for the selection process. The preferred form of submission is via
electronic mail to the program chair.
Submissions must be received by June 15, 1999 latest.
For distribution to the participants, an extended abstract or a full paper
must be provided by August 15, 1999. It is required that papers
will not have been previously published elsewhere.
In order to enable everybody to actually give a selected talk, the
Linux Kongress organization can pay for travel expenses and accomodation.
The conference will be organized by GUUG (German UNIX Users Group),
LUGA (Linux User Group Augsburg), the University of Augsburg,
NLUUG (UNIX Users Group - The Netherlands), LIVE (Linux-Verband),
and LunetIX.
It is supported by Fachbuchhandlung J.F. Lehmanns, Addison-Wesley and
O'Reilly.
Any profits from this event will be used to support Free-Software-Projects.
Online-registration information will be available in May 1999 on
