Call for presentations for AusNOG 2015
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Langham Hotel
Melbourne
27 & 28 August 2015
Topics
=-=-=-
Internet operations can be a broad topic and the programme 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
Additional topics that are of interest to the network operator community
are also welcome at AusNOG 2015. 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 2015
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
=-=-=-=-=
04 June: Submission of presentation title, presentation description
(300 words), and presenter biography (200-400 words)

A separate call for lightning talks will be made closer to the AusNOG
2015 event. As in previous years you must be registered to attend AusNOG
2015 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 2015.
