CFP: First Australian UNIX Developers' Symposium

[Greg 'groggy' Lehey]

   First Australian UNIX Developer's Symposium

          Call for participation

AUUG  is  proud to announce the 2005 UNIX Developers' Conference,
to be held in Adelaide on 8 and 9 April, 2005.  Attendees will be
accomplished  programmers  who wish to develop software for UNIX-
like systems using open source tools.  We are planning  two  con-
current  streams.   One  stream  will be aimed at programmers who
have little or no experience with UNIX, and  wish  to  learn  the
UNIX  philosophy,  environment and tools; the other will be aimed
at developers who already have significant experience programming
for UNIX, and wish to learn new or advanced tools and techniques.

The tutorial programme for the  Newcomers  stream  will  comprise
four  90  minute presentations, which will give attendees a solid
understanding of the mechanics of developing for UNIX:

o    Introduction to the UNIX environment
o    Shells and scripting
o    Make and gcc
o    Debugging with GDB

The Programme Committee invites proposals for tutorials  and  pa-
pers.   In  order  to ensure complete coverage, the programme for
the "newcomers" stream is a little more rigid.  Our intention  is
to  have  four 90 minute tutorials roughly covering the following
topics:

o    Introduction to the unix environment
o    Shells and scripting
o    Make and gcc
o    Debugging with GDB

We invite proposals that don't disrupt this framework.   For  the
advanced  tutorials  and the papers, the following list of topics
is intended to illustrate the direction of  the  conference,  but
papers on other related topics will be considered:

o    Introduction to the UNIX environment
o    Shells and scripting languages
o    Editors
o    Programming languages
o    Build tools (e.g. make)
o    Version control
o    Debugging programs
o    Writing graphical programs
o    Integrated development environments
o    Kernel programming and debugging
o    Network programming

This  is an opportunity for you to help foster and strengthen the
open source developers community in Australia.

Tutorials can be 90 or 180 minutes long, and papers should be  45
minutes, including time for questions.  We would prefer a written
paper or tutorial notes, for inclusion in the conference proceed-
ings, for all presentations.

Submission Guidelines

Those  proposing to submit papers should submit an abstract and a
brief biography, and indicate whether their paper is intended for
the  Newcomers or the Advanced stream.  Those submitting tutorial
proposals should submit an outline of the tutorial  and  a  brief
biography,  should  indicate  whether their paper is intended for
the Newcomers or the Advanced stream, and should clearly indicate
the duration of their presentation.

Proposals should be sent in electronic form to the Programme Com-
mittee at developers2005 at auug.org.au.
