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 =-=-=-=-=-

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

01 July: Presenters notified of their acceptance status as an AusNOG 2013 presentation.

28 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 to organisers at ausnog.net.

A separate call for lightning talks will be made closer to the AusNOG 2013 event.

[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.
