Call For Papers

Linux 2008 will take place at the Manchester Conference Centre from

that
of previous years, with a choice of two conference streams. We also plan to
organise some tutorials on Friday 7th November.

We invite speakers on all aspects of Linux development. The programme will
cover a variety of subjects, including kernel and desktop development,
tools,
applications, networking and security. Any topic likely to be of
interest to
Linux developers and enthusiasts will be considered.

Abstracts for the main conference or tutorial programme should be
accompanied
by a short biography, and, ideally, should be about 250-500 words long.
Final
papers should normally last about 45 minutes, including 10 minutes for
questions and answers. If you need more time for your presentation, please
tell us when you submit your abstract.

Abstracts should be submitted to the conference organisers

We shall acknowledge all submissions.
