Call for Papers
Distro Summit 2010, 18-23 January 2010 - Wellington (New Zealand)
One-day technical conference with a strong focus on collaboration between Free Software distributions hosted at the linux.conf.au 2010.
We are looking for proposals from any Free Software distribution, from the typical full distributions (both linux and non-linux) to the niche market derivatives.
In spite of the strong focus on collaboration between Free Software distributions, topics may include packaging, maintenance, relationship with upstream developers, release management and QA.
Presentation types
We will accept proposals for:
- 25 minute standard-length presentations;
- 50 minute long presentations.
Session lengths include time for audience questions.
We intend for standard-length presentation to make up the vast majority of our presentations. If you plan on submitting a proposal for a long presentation, a willingness to present a standard-length presentation will impact positively on your proposal.

- Your name, contact details and a short biography;
