I'm pleased to announce that we will be holding a one day Cloud Infrastructure, Distributed Storage and High Availability mini conference[1] on Monday 28 January 2013 as part of linux.conf.au 2013 in Canberra, Australia[2]. This miniconf is about building reliable infrastructure, from two-node HA failover pairs to multi-thousand-core cloud systems. You might like to think of it as a sequel to the LCA 2012 High Availability and Distributed Storage miniconf[3]. Do any of the following describe you? * You're building cloud infrastructure for others to use (openstack, cloudstack, eucalyptus, ...) * Your data needs to be reliably available everywhere (ceph, glusterfs, drbd, ...) * Your system absolutely must be up all the time (pacemaker, corosync, ...) If so, this is the miniconf for you! Please consider submitting a presentation at: http://tinyurl.com/cidsha-lca2013 We're expecting most talk slots to be 25 minutes (including questions and changeover), but there will be openings for shorter lightning talks and maybe a couple of longer talks. CFP closes on Sunday November 4, 2012. Notifications of acceptance will be emailed out after this date. Note that there is also an OpenStack-specific miniconf[4] running on Tuesday 29 January. We're hoping this will give us a pretty awesome two-day LCA 2013 CloudFest. As a rough rule of thumb, more generic or infrastructure-related talks should go to Cloud, Distributed Storage & HA, while deeper OpenStack-specific talks should probably go to the OpenStack miniconf. If in doubt, or if you have any other questions, please contact me directly at tserong@xxxxxxxx. Thanks!
