From georgia.tech.swagger at gmail.com Sun Apr 19 19:51:26 2015 From: georgia.tech.swagger at gmail.com (georgia_tech_swagger) Date: Sun, 19 Apr 2015 15:51:26 -0400 Subject: [Tuxaloosa] SouthEast LinuxFest - RFP ends soon / Ambassadors Message-ID: Howdy SELF's call for speakers ends Saturday 4/25 at 11:59 PM ET. I'd encourage anybody interested to submit a talk. We do go a bit out of our way to try to help bring up local FOSS talent in LUGs throughout the southeast. So even if you only experience was a nervous talk in front of your local LUG ... c'monnn submit it. You have nothing to lose. Submit here: http://www.southeastlinuxfest.org/?p=1250 Secondly, if anybody is interested in helping out a bit with SELF, particularly when it comes to representing us at local events (LUG meetings, local tech group meetings, local conferences) we'd love to hear from you. We call these people Ambassadors. In exchange for doing a bit of local leg work to represent SELF, we send you swag/goodies and maybe even fly you expenses paid to awesome events like the Southern California Linux Expo (SCaLE) to help run our booth there. Or if those bright lights are a bit much, and you're just interested in volunteering, we'd love to hear from you as well. Either way, shoot an email to info at southeastlinuxfest.org Thanks for your time, and hope to see you in June! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I won't be able to go this year (it will be only the second one I've missed), but I can assure everyone that there's a lot of fun to be had. You don't have to be a certified card-carrying expert to do a talk either - even I managed to to give a mostly decent (well, perhaps depending on who you ask) :-) presentation on the netfilter/iptables packet filtering infrastructure several years ago, so if you know more than most about a particular topic that others could benefit from knowing, please consider submitting a proposal. Most importantly, consider attending SELF 2015 - it will be worth your while. -RW
