UKNOF 24 Call For Presentations The next UKNOF meeting will take place on 17th January 2013 at Timico in Newark-on-Trent, Nottinghamshire, and the Programme Committee are seeking content from the community for this meeting.
You may often hear it said that UKNOF's remit is "distribution of clue", so if the content of your talk fits with that ethos, we're actually pretty open minded about what the actual topic is - as long as it's relevant to our community's broad area of interest, and the quality is good. Talks are usually around 20 to 40 minutes in length, and common subject areas are: Network operations Network architecture and design Networking hardware and software architecture Peering and interconnect Data centre design and operations IPv6 deployment Network monitoring and measurement New innovations in networking technology Open protocol standards Domain Name System infrastructure Network security and abuse prevention Impact of public policy of network operations But, we're always on the lookout for something different, so don't feel it has to fall into the areas above. We're also interested in hearing proposals for panel discussions, as these are a great way of presenting and discussing different views on the same subject. Please submit your proposals via our website at http://indico.uknof.org.uk/event/uknof24 Submissions are welcome at any time, but for UKNOF24 we would like to have them no later than 12th December 2012. However, don't worry if you miss the deadline and have something interesting to talk about, as we are often able to accept shorter (10 minute) "lightning talks" closer in to the meeting. Please also get in touch if you would like to suggest any topics, themes or speakers. Please note that UKNOF is run on a non-profit basis, and is not in a position to reimburse expenses or time for speakers at its meetings. Thanks, Mike
