UKNOF48 Call For Presentations
UKNOF48 will take place at Manchester Central and online on 18 and 19 November. The Programme Committee are seeking content from the community for this meeting. Presentations can be given in person at Manchester Central, or remotely over the Internet.
UKNOF's remit is "distribution of clue", and for our final meeting of 2021, we are looking for content which is both operationally timely and our "normal" operational remit.
We are planning for around 5 hours for the whole event, including breaks. We are looking for a mix of formats:
- 15 or 25 minute presentations (followed by 5 minutes for Q&A)
- 15 or 25 minute live demonstrations (followed by 5 minutes for Q&A)
- 5 minute lightning talks (no Q&A)
- 45 minute panel sessions
We are keen for talks, demonstrations, and panels in these subject areas:
- Confessions & War Stories / Lessons learnt from the field
- Data centre design and operations
- DNS infrastructure
- Impact of public policy of network operations
- IPv6 deployment
- Logistics and communications infrastructure
- Network Automation and Tooling including SDN, Open Source initiatives
- Network hardware/software/configuration architecture, design and operations
- Open protocol standards and best practice initiatives
- Peering and interconnection / routing
- Personal/Network security, inclusiveness and abuse prevention
- Radio spectrum, broadcast and receiver devices
Please submit your proposals using the "Submit new abstract" option further down this page.
Submissions are welcome at any time, but for UKNOF48 we would like to have them no later than Monday 8 November 2021.
