[AusNOG] AusNOG 2021 Call for Presentations

[Terry Manderson]

Colleagues, 


Here starts the AusNOG 2021 Call for Presentations.


AusNOG 2021 will be held 'IN PERSON' on the 2nd and 3rd of September at 
the Fullerton Sydney

As usual we are making a call for people to submit proposals 
for talks at AusNOG 2021 that would be of interest to the
Internet operations community, ie technical presentations and 
not sales talks.

Previous feedback from attendees has strongly suggested that AusNOG 
participants prefer to hear from operators. So, we are especially 
interested in operators who can share what they know! 
(for example, sharing experiences about COVID-19 impacts, deployments, 
or other things that truely impact operations).

Notes to Presenters
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Preference will be given to controversial/thought-provoking or technological 
advancement presentations that result in actual operational outcomes.

Speaking slots are typically 30 minutes, including Q&A time, although we
can accommodate a limited number of requests for 45/60 minute slots. We
would also entertain requests for 15 minute presentations. There will 
be a call for lightning talks (5 minutes) closer to the event.

By submitting a presentation for consideration in the AusNOG 2021
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].

Selected presenters receive complimentary registration while those not 
selected will be offered registration at the early bird rate.

the presentation.
