AstriCon in Washington DC is only 102 days away! October 26-28 - slightly over three months - time is flying. The early bird discount ($595 for the whole conference) runs out next week - see if you can get in under the wire! The final selection of AstriCon talks is under way. If you've been intending to submit your talk and you missed the June 30 deadline... well, you're late. :-) But I've had so many good technical, informative proposals this year that I'd be foolish not to shake the tree one last time to see if any more perfect AstriCon session fruit falls into the basket. This year is going to be heavily loaded with very in-depth examples, tutorials, and case studies. We've got some really great talks from a fantastic array of speakers. While I don't want to publish the whole list just yet (that'll be next week) I can tell you that there are how-to talks on IPv6 (a double-session!) by the developers of the code (Viagenie), VoIP encryption techniques by the developer of some of the code (Terry Wilson), and a practical session on SIP security by the author of SIPVicious (Sandro Gauci.) If you've talked with me about giving a session, but not actually put it into the then it's not on the consideration list. I know that there are quite a few of you who are enthusiastic about giving a session but haven't quite gained the momentum to fill out the form - now's your last chance! Please don't deprive the attendees of your fantastic content! PS: If you've submitted a talk: please be patient! We're sifting and sorting and trying to find slots for everyone in the right way.
