FAQ

What is miniLAC?

• A no-budget, community-driven mini-conference
• A space for:
  • workshops
  • hacking events
  • lectures
  • talking to developers of your favorite Linux (capable) audio software
  • developers coming together
  • thinking about the future shape of Linux Audio

What is miniLAC not?

• Papers and proceedings (there is the possibility of doing a subconference at FroSCon, if people get involved organizing this)

Why is miniLAC?

• We failed to get the required resources to do Linux Audio Conference the way you know it
• We still wanted to do a community driven event, that can host workshops, talks and offer a get-together (because we know you like it).
• Without a budget, we had to shrink things down to a size that we can handle with the resources available (c-base)
• We don't want to charge money for this event. You already invest time and money to come here, or working on our favorite Linux (capable) audio software
