Call for presentations for AusNOG 2013

   Swissotel
   **Sydney**
   5 & 6 September, 2013

Notes
=-=-=-

AusNOG 2013 is being held in Sydney after a successful event in 
Melbourne last year. We hope some of our new attendees from last year 
are able to follow us back to Sydney this year!

Topics
=-=-=-=

Internet operations can be a broad topic and the presentation selection
committee will be short-listing presentations in the following focus areas:

* Improving the redundancy/resiliency/sustainability of your network
* Making leaps in service or network availability
* Taking the network operations BCP to the next level
* Using 'offline' communications tools to keep the network working
* How technology is changing network architectures
* Evolution in network architectures and scaling issues
* Analysis of relevant major operational events of the year

Other topics which are of interest to the network operator community are 
also welcome at AusNOG 2013. Naturally, presentations of a marketing 
nature are not welcome at this technical event.

Notes to presenters
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Preference will be given to presentations that result in actual 
operational outcomes.

Session speakers should be prepared to present for 30 minutes. Keynote
speakers will be expected to present for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Short
presentations of strong operational content are also acceptable.

Once the final slides are submitted, changes will only be permitted 
where the presentation requires the most up to date information or data.

By submitting a presentation for consideration in the AusNOG 2013 
programme, and if selected the presenter will allow AusNOG to:

   * Take photographs of the presentation and presenter.
   * Record and rebroadcast video and audio of the presentation
      and presenter.
   * Redistribute, the presentation slides, audio, video, and photographs
      electronically, on the AusNOG website, or otherwise but leaving
      all intellectual property in the hands of presenter or rightful
      property holder where possible[1].

Deadlines

A separate call for lightning talks will be made closer to the AusNOG

[1]: AusNOG accepts that some speakers are unable to allow us to archive 
their presentation due to company or corporate policy, and if the 
situation arises AusNOG will delete all copies in its possession after 
the presentation.
