Topics for Presentations/Talks
---------------------------------------------------

The number and length of presentations per session is not fixed, although due to time constraints we would prefer the length of the presentations to be between 10 to 30 minutes.

However proposals for longer/shorter presentations or presentations whose subject falls outside of the topics below are also welcome; please do not hesitate to submit them.

Here is a non-exhaustive list of typical SwiNOG meeting topics:

- Security - DDOS Mitigation - AntiSpam
- IPv6
- Open Source tools
- International view of the internet (incidents, outages, measurements)
- Routing
- Server applications (DNS, Web, etc.)
- Legal issues (BÜPF, etc.)
- Telecommunication polictics (Net Neutrality, Incumbent monopoly, etc.)


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@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,
Pascal Gloor
SwiNOG Core Team
