UKNOF46 (January 2021) Call For Presentations
UKNOF46 will take place on 19 January in the ether, and the Programme Committee are seeking content from the community for this meeting.
UKNOF's remit is "distribution of clue", and for our first meeting of 2021, we are looking for content which is both operationally relevant and our 'normal' operational remit.
The whole session is planned for 3 - 5 hours and with this in mind, we are looking for around 10 presentations of 15 minutes or 25 minutes in length (plus 5 minutes for Q&A). We are also interested in lightning talks of 5 minutes in length (no Q&A) and will consider proposals for panel sessions lasting 45 minutes in length.
Topics within the wider subject areas below will be considered:
- 2020 retrospective and forward looking to 2021
- Confessions & War Stories / Lessons learnt from the field
- Data centre design and operations
- DNS infrastructure
- Impact of public policy of network operations
- IPv6 deployment
- Network Automation and Tooling including SDN, Open Source initiatives
- Network hardware/software/configuration architecture, design and operations
- Open protocol standards and best practise initatives
- Peering and interconnection / routing.
- Personal/Network security, inclusivness and abuse prevention
Please submit your proposals using the menu on the left. Submissions are welcome at any time, but for UKNOF46 we would like to have them no later than 7 January 2021 (and we are hoping to publish an initial set of accepted talks so do get your talks in by 18 December if you wish to be included in that).
Our expected timeline is:
- 7 December 2020 - Submissions open via Indico
- 18 December 2020 - Initial Submission Deadline
- 22 December 2020 - Initial Contribution list published
- 7 January 2021 - Final Deadline for submission (23:59 GMT)
