FLOSS UK - Spring 2017
The Studio, Manchester
Worskhops 14th March
2 day Conference 15th & 16th March 2017
FLOSS UK Council are now accepting submissions for presentations and
workshops for our main annual conference event. In recent years we
have evolved into the UK's primary support organisation for Free/Libre
Open Source Systems (FLOSS) supporting Free and Open Technology.
The Spring Conference is the UK's longest running event supporting
systems and network administrators. But as FLOSS UK has evolved to
support open networks, software, hardware and data so our primary
conference has become open to submissions on these areas.
If you would like to offer a forum or half-day workshop that might
interest our target audience, please submit a proposal.
All submissions are judged using a 'blind' process. Please avoid any
identifying information in the body of your proposal.
If you have a novel solution to a problem, experience of a particular
application or hardware platform, tips and tricks for fellow open
source delegates, or a favourite tool you could talk about, use of
open data, please submit a paper for consideration by the programme
committee.
There will be a prize for the best conference talk. Bursaries may be
made available for accepted speakers who are unable to afford travel
costs, subject to Council approval with all bursaries being fixed in
advance. All accepted speakers receive a complimentary Conference
place and a ticket for the conference dinner.
We are also seeking lightning talks for the event – please contact us
if you have something you want to schedule in the programme –
Lightning Talk speakers who make no other presentation are not
eligible for free conference places or dinner.
Significant Dates: Initial closing date for abstracts: 18th October 2016
Speakers notified by: 1st December
Workshops: Tuesday 14th March 2017
Conference: 15th & 16th March 2017
To submit a paper, please email [log in to unmask]
