Thanks to everyone for all the submissions received and the committee is evaluating them for selection. If you are on the fence about submitting remember - All selected speakers will receive compensation to cover Airfare and 2 hotel nights in Honolulu, Hawaii. Not to mention get to hang out with a great group of people in a laid back locale. ----++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---- Shakacon IV - Honolulu Hawaii "Sun, Surf, and C Shells" CALL FOR PAPERS http://www.shakacon.org/cfp.txt ----++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---- Who: Shakacon Crew What: Shakacon IV When: June 18-21 2012 Where: Paradise aka Honolulu Hawaii (nuff said) Why: Why NOT? How: By plane, boat, canoe, yacht, hydrofoil, stand-up paddle board, jetski, long board, dolphin, whale sled, nuclear submarine, etc. [Overview] After taking two years off to work on our surfing skills we decided it was time to bring some top notch technical talent back to one of the most remote locations on earth. Sitting around somewhere freezing your a$$ off? Dreaming about warm days, rainbows, decadent tropical drinks sipped out of coconuts? Sure you could drop your 0day in Vegas, bring down the Internet in Germany, or satisfy your dark desires in Asia; however, wouldn't you rather submit your research or topics to our CFP and maybe win yourself a paid trip to Hawaii? The Shakacon security conference is a laid back conference where industry, government, academia and independent experts will get together to share knowledge and experience in one of the most beautiful places on Earth. Shakacon will offer local, national, and international participants a casual, social, learning environment designed to present a "holistic" security view and the opportunity to network with peers and fellow enthusiasts in a relaxed setting. Leave your ego at the airport (or shoreline if you come in via another method) as we look forward to attendees varying in skill level from N00b to Ninja. During the day, sessions will include: best practices, case studies, research projects, etc. covering all different aspects of the information security landscape. There will be something for everyone and if sitting through talks isn't your cup of kava, there will be exciting events and contests for you to sharpen your skills and knowledge on. [Trainer Opportunities] Don't want to speak at the Con but have an uncanny ability to teach and a proven track record for delivering quality courseware and want to come to Hawaii? We're also interested in bringing in trainers to provide world class training leading up to Shakacon (June 18 and 19). Submit a synopsis/class agenda, prior teaching experience, and maybe get selected to teach in Hawaii. [CFP Details] (1) Abstract for papers must be submitted to the review committee by _March 31, 2012_. (2) Selection notification will occur by _April 6, 2012_ and abstracts posted to the site by _April 13, 2012_. (3) Full Slides for your papers must be submitted by _May 18, 2012_. CFP Review Committee: Caleb Sima Katie Mossouris Val Smith Matthieu Suiche Vincenzo Iozzo Kent Backman Jonathan Brossard Daniel Hodson Kris Harms Mark Ryan Talabis Chris Potter Jason Martin There are a limited number of speaking sessions for which the conference organizers will provide travel and accommodations so please submit your abstract early if you are interested in speaking. Speaking slots will be 55 minutes long (45 minutes for your talk and 10 minutes for Q&A); however, we will accept "turbo" talk submissions and if we have enough we'll blend them into a block of the conference. The audience will be a broad mix of professional, academic, and enthusiast, so we welcome both technical and non-technical submissions on all aspects of security. The key criteria are practicality and timeliness. We want to provide our attendees with up to date materials they can take away and immediately gain benefit from as well as new research or tools. Absolutely NO SALES presentations will be accepted. Proposals should include: <Subject Line:> "Shakacon CFP Submission: <paper title>, <your name>" <Body> 1. Name, address, and contact info. 2. Employer and/or affiliations. 3. Brief biography. 4. Presentation experience. 5. Topic summary. 6. Reason this topic should be considered. 7.
