Just to clear things up, you submitted a paper to linux.conf.au and it
was rejected, and you would still like the chance to present that paper
at GNOME.conf.au?

What was that paper?

Hi Davyd

Yes I submitted a paper to linux.conf.au. It was about my long experience with linux and gnome as an end user who has seen many different aspects of using gnome and linux.

Here's the replied I got, which I 100% agree with. As Ben said my talk would rather suit a gnome conf than a Linux one.

Hi Sara,

Thank you for your miniconf proposal. We have had a lot of great miniconf
proposals but unfortunately are not able to accept yours this year. We suggest
that your talk might be of interest to the Gnome miniconf which will be held
this year. Keep an eye on the website for more news.

Cheers,

Ben Leslie
