[AusNOG] Fwd: Call for presentations for AusNOG 2015

[Terry Manderson]

All,

It's currently the 2nd of June, to state the obvious!

A deadline looms..

04 June: Submission of presentation title, presentation description
         (300 words), and presenter biography (200-400 words)

So, if you are interested in presenting at AusNOG this year and haven't already sent email - please start banging away on that keyboard!

I know the talent that exists in this community, I've seen it. You have all done some pretty awesome things and I think you should share with the rest of us!

.. if you need a few more days to schmooze management, please drop me a placeholder email ASAP so that I know you are doing your best to make it happen.

Cheers
Terry
