Dear SwiNOG community member,

Please take a minute for my two requests :)

1. CFP - we're still looking for presentations to make your day at SwiNOG as interesting and informative as possible. If you have something or know someone to present (5 to 45minutes) - a new technology, a tool, your thesis or a solution to a problem, .... - please let me know.

2. Registration is open, please go to swinog.ch and register for the event on the 5th of November and meet up.

3. (ohhhh a third) - why don't you send this mail to engineers, technicians, students, etc. which might be interested in getting to know the SwiNOG Community, let them know that we exist :)

Have a beautiful day best regards Simon Ryf SwiNOG

Language of Slides and Talks ---------------------------------------------------

The whole day will be held in English, therefore we kindly ask you to produce your presentation in English.

Submission Guidelines ---------------------------------------------------

All submissions must have a strong technical bias and must not be solely promotional for your employer.

Please remember that your presentations should be suitable for a target audience of technicians from varied backgrounds, working for companies whose sizes may vary considerably.

To submit a proposal for a presentation, we request that you provide the following information to <swinog-core at swinog.ch>:

* the name of the presenter (and if applicable your affiliation) * a working email address * the name and number of the topic which will contain the presentation * the title of the presentation * its expected length (in minutes) * a short abstract of the presentation (so we know what it is about)

We also welcome suggestions for specific presentations which you feel would be valuable to the SwiNOG community.

Please be aware that your presentation will be published on the SwiNOG website after the event. We can publish modified slides if requested - it might be that some confidential data will be presented by you which are not intended for publication on the internet.

Greetings, Simon Ryf SwiNOG Core Team
