UKNOF 21 - Call For Presentations The next UKNOF meeting will take place on the 19th January 2012 hosted by BT at Baynard House in Central London, 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 it 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 * Mobile data exchange * 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 looking 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 send your proposals to [email protected], including a short abstract of the subject, and draft slides if these are available. The closing date for submissions is the 2nd December 2011. But, don't worry if you have missed the deadline and then find you have something interesting to talk about, as we are often able to accept shorter (10 minute) "lightning talks" closer in to the meeting. We are also looking for material relevant to the following topics for UKNOF 22 and the future: * Future Networking Technologies * Open Networking Technologies So please also get in touch if you have any suggested topics, themes or speakers on the above items. Hope to see you in January at the UKNOF meeting. Mike Hughes on behalf of the UKNOF Programme Committee
