The German Unix User Group (GUUG) will hold their annual conference "Frühjahrsfachgespräch" on September 23-26 this year (I know, not really "Frühjahr" anymore, but this is how it is).
The Call for Presentations is still open until May 31st. Talks can be proposed in German and English, and there are slots for longer tutorials as well.
The range of possible topics is broad, so if you think you have anything interesting to share with a very passionate and technical audience of sysadmins and developers, here are some suggestions:
- Operating Systems/Applications: architectures, privilege concepts, new developments, administration, mobile systems
- Relevant new OS Kernel features: new developments in Linux-, BSD- or other Spen Source OS kernels
- Networking: protocols, technologies
- Virtualisation/High Availability: OS, networks, cluster, SAN, file services (high-) avialability, OS/storage virtualisation and cloud
- File systems: distributed file systems, cluster file systems, special purpose file systems
- Middleware: databases, application servers, etc.
- IT Security: organisational and technical aspects
- Data Center Infrastructure: climate control, energy efficiency and monitoring
- Operations: monitoring, backup/recovery
- Non-technical Topics: work organisation, legal aspects, licensing and patents, education and training
This year, I'm honoured to be part of the reviewing committee and we've received a number of interesting proposals already. But we'd like to see more!
So please don't hesitate and submit your proposal now!
Thank you.
