linux.conf.au 2021 call for sessions and miniconfs

The 2021 edition of linux.conf.au will be held online on January 23-25, 2021; the call for proposals has gone out with a relatively tight deadline of November 6. "Our theme is 'So what's next?'. We all know we're living through unprecedented change and uncertain times. How can open source play a role in creating, helping and adapting to this ongoing change? What new developments in software and coding can we look forward to in 2021 and beyond?" Since there is no travel involved, this is a rare opportunity for those who have not normally been able to participate in LCA.
