Greetings, presenters!  I?m organizing the Connectathon talks again
for Connectathon 2016.

Unlike the testing floor, these talks are open to the public, and will
be held in the upstairs conference room in the Mellon Auditorium, as in
years past.  The talks will be held on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons
during Connectathon.  Appropriate topics are technical talks on areas
that are of broad interest to the NFS community.

If you are interested in presenting a talk, please send me:

   o  A presentation title
   o  A 2-4 sentence abstract of the presentation
   o  The name and e-mail addresses of all presenters.  I will not share 
these with anyone
   o  How long you need: typically 30 or 60 minutes
   o  Expected audience (Small/Medium/Large)

A VGA overhead projector is available.

In addition to presentations by individuals, we have space for ?birds of 
a feather? sessions where we can hold group discussion on topics 
relevant to our community.  These sessions could be held during one or
more of the normal talk slots, or could possibly be scheduled for
Wednesday afternoon in a smaller location.  They would also be open
to the public.  Some initial ideas for BOF sessions include:

   o  NFS Testing (a perennial favorite)
   o  NFS/Kerberos (especially ease of use)
   o  NFS/RDMA
   o  RPCSEC_GSSv3

Please give these a +1 and/or send other suggestions.

A schedule of talks and BOF sessions will be posted on the 
www.connectathon.info web site as we get closer to the event.

Thanks,
Rob Thurlow
