While reading the rules, several questions popped up in my head. I have been working for a while on the subject of Linux & Microsoft interoperability and Single Sign-On (SSO) in middle to large scale environments and was considering suggesting this topic as a lecture for Haifux or any other body interested in the subject. While I am willing to suggest this topic to technical-academic track, I find the rules pretty restrictive when addressing this specific topic. My comments are inline.

To demonstrate SSO, I would need to also demonstrate technologies like Active Directory, client computers from the both sides and so on... The rule above basically prevents me from participating.

[Guy] I am working for a company which does not allow me giving external consulting (when not representing the company) and being affiliated with it at the same time. While I think that there is quite a bunch of people that would like to hear about the topic, I can not allow that solution, tools, approaches, will be affiliated with the company I work for. Publishing my biography is associating me with my employee. As I see it, this can be addressed in one of 2 ways: - not specifying the employer names - stating up front that all ideas presented in this topic should not be affiliated with my employer and my employer is not responsible, bla bla bla... > Papers may be submitted either in English or in Hebrew.

And here I can not promise the use of only open source software (see my comments above). ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
