[AusNOG] Fwd: Call for presentation for AusNOG 2016

[Mark Prior]

It's not too late to submit a proposal!

In the survey after the 2014 meeting in Sydney we were asked for more
presentations from the community but that requires the community to
submit proposals.

Call for presentations for AusNOG 2016
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

The 10th annual AusNOG conference is scheduled to be held at the
Swissôtel Sydney on 1 & 2 September 2016.

We are making our first call for presentations of interest to the
Internet operations community. Previous feedback has suggested that
attendees would like more content from the community so we'd like
to encourage members of the community to submit more proposals,
especially if you haven't previously presented!

Internet operations is a broad topic but some areas of interest are:

* 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

Naturally other topics that are of interest to the network operator
community are also welcome but presentations of a purely 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.
Please note any timing constraints when submitting a presentation.

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 2016
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[1].

Deadlines
=-=-=-=-=

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

07 July: Presenters notified of their acceptance status as an
          AusNOG 2016 presentation.

25 August: Submission of final presentation slides as Portable Document
           Format (pdf), PowerPoint, or Keynote. Provision of a
           recent digital photograph (<500k) of the presenter.

All submissions must be sent by email to organisers AT ausnog DOT net.

A separate call for lightning talks will be made closer to the AusNOG
2016 event. As in previous years you must be registered to attend AusNOG
2016 in order to be considered for a lightning talk.

[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.

Lightning Talks
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Have something awesome or cool to share that isn't a full presentation?
New to presenting, and still want give back to the community?

Why not consider a lightning talk?

Lightning talks are short (max 10 minute) presentations on topical
material. There is no requirement for any slides!

A call for lighting talks will be made nearer to AusNOG 2016.
