SD West CFP

[gem at cigital.com (Gary McGraw)]

hi sc-l,

Some number of years ago I started giving talks at SD West in order to up the level of exposure that software security 
gets at actual development conferences.  After a few years of that, I helped to rejigger the entire security track to 
be about software security.  These days the track is thriving and it is well attended.

The time has come to solicit talks for SD West 2009.  I hope that some of you will consider proposing a talk (hint, I 
am the guy who puts the track together and I like real software security types).  Here's a link:
