The Linux Security Summit CFP is now open, and will close on 27th of May.

Accepted speakers will be notified by 1st of June.


WHO SHOULD ATTEND

The event is open to all registered LPC attendees.

You do not have to be a "security person" to attend -- we're seeking a
diverse range of attendees, and welcome the participation of general
developers, researchers, operations, and end-users.

There will be several panel sessions in addition to brief, selected
presentations, with a strong focus on discussion.


CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

The program committee currently seeks proposals for:

Presentations:

Brief technical talks in 30 minute slots, including at least 10
minutes of discussion (i.e. the maximum length of the presentation
alone is 20 minutes). Papers are encouraged, and slides should be
minimal.

Presentation abstracts should be approximately 150 words in length.


Panel discussion topics:

If you'd like to see an issue discussed in a Q&A style panel, send it
in. Note that this may result in you volunteering to participate in
a panel.


Topic areas include, but are not limited to:

* System hardening
* Access control
* Cryptography
* Integrity control
* Hardware security
* Networking
* Storage
* Virtualization
* Desktop
* Tools
* Management
* Case studies
* Emerging technologies, threats & techniques


Proposals should be submitted in plain text via email to the program
committee at: lss-pc (_at_) ext.namei.org
