>

> 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

quoted text
> 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

quoted text
> 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.

quoted text
>

> - 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.
