The conference
______________
| The |linux_audio_conference| is actually a quite old concept by now. Started as a small Linux Audio user group meeting at LinuxTag back in 2002, the conference more and more developed into a multi-national event, thanks to people such as Frank Neumann (who by the way initially had a *"hacker meeting"* in mind) and places like the |zkm|.
-| As more universities hosted it, its academic side strengthened, leading to proper :abbr:`proceedings (In academia, proceedings are the collection of academic papers published in the context of an academic conference.)`, paper and poster presentations.
+| As more universities hosted it, its academic side strengthened, leading to proper |abbr_proceedings|, paper and poster presentations.
| Generally speaking it has also always been a place to present software, do workshops to show people how to use software and try it out - suited for developers, users and interested alike!
| Another nice aspect that evolved over the years is the concept of the *"Linux Sound Night"*, giving the stage to the artists to present their pieces or perform live.
| There's obviously a lot more to the history of the |linux_audio_conference| (which is no wonder after such a long time!), than I could elaborate on.

| Two weeks before the start of |minilac| the wiki was attacked by a wave of spammers and I had to deal with the unpleasant work of deleting the pages of 500 spambots, blocking their accounts and strengthening the (hastily setup) security measures for the wiki. Lesson learnt.
| Apart from the spambots the wiki also entailed another issue, that has to do with the way the |voc| operates. Being free-time professionals, they usually have conferences use |frab| for dealing with the content, which is an all-in-one conference management system, that generates all things needed for streaming, |info-beamer|, interfacing the |engelsystem| and generating a |fahrplan| (especially the latter is super helpful during large events to keep track of what is happening where, as there's also an Android App available for it).
-| This meant parsing the information from our wiki and generating the needed :abbr:`XML (Extensible Markup Language)` and :abbr:`JSON (JavaScript Object Notation)` files ourselves. Pretty painful, but we got it done (well, apart from triggering a bunch of bugs in the |voc|'s |voc_schedule_validator|, which lead to never being able to generate a proper |fahrplan|).

| Last minute fixes for the |info-beamer| were needed as well, but thanks to the |voc|, we got them done just in time!
| Meanwhile I prepared some hardware to be lent from the |electronic_studio| and the insurance for the |voc| equipment (to be used in combination with already available |c-base| hardware).
