lightning talks open and hotel rate expiring
by Todd Underwood 29 May '09

29 May '09

two quick reminders: 1) the nanog discount rate on the hotel is mostly (but not completely) full and i believe it expires today. if you're planning on coming to nanog, please register for the conference and book a hotel room. or pay more for the privilege of both experiences. https://nanog.merit.edu/registration/ http://nanog.org/meetings/nanog46/hotel.php 2) lightning talk submissions are now open. lightning talks are short (10 minutes), topical and timely. and they are done at the last minute (a feature which endears them to many of us). lightning talks submitted by jun 8 will be voted on by the program committee on our jun 9 call just prior to the start of nanog 46. lightning talks will continue to be accepted through tuesday of the conference, although the sooner you get your abstract in, the more likely we will be to accept your talk. several talks have already been submitted so if you've got a good idea, now is the time to write it up and get it in. i'm very much looking forward to seeing all of you in philadelphia. todd underwood, chair nanog program committee
