CFP - Call for Presentations

The NYCBSDCon program committee is accepting submissions for
imaginative, embryonic and energizing presentations surrounding the BSD
operating systems. We are looking to attract a wide range of speakers
and attendees; therefore, topics of interest range from the esoteric to
development to practical, everyday sysadmin life.

Topics of interest for the NYCBSDCon 2006 include, but are not limited to:

    * Using the Andrew File System (AFS) in production
    * Large data management (large RAID, NAS, SAN, etc...)
    * Hands on Kerberos in enterprise environments
    * Network, server, and application security best practices
    * Network, server, and application monitoring
    * Patch management in large installations

For a recent discussion of topics, see our mailing list thread.

Each talk is expected to be 45-50 minutes. Presenters will have
audio/visual and network connectivity.

Abstracts for presentations are due August 15, 2006.

Authors of accepted submissions should be able to provide the full
presentation for publication on the NYCBSDCon website at
www.nycbsdcon.org. Further instructions will follow the review process.
Submissions accompanied by a non-disclosure agreement or a product
advertisement will be rejected.

Abstract submissions should be emailed to the nycbsdcon.org domain, with
the address cfp, in either text, ps, pdf or like format, accompanied
with a clear abstract.
