LayerOne geek festival call for proposals

By at 3:04 am Sunday, Dec 7

Boogah Smalls and his pals are putting on a low-cost geek festival in LA on June 12, called LayerOne -- looks wonderful! They've just put out a call for papers; got something you want to say?
LayerOne is now officially accepting papers and presentations for our first session, tentatively scheduled for June 12th and 13th, 2004. We are looking for people to speak on a broad range of topics, however we encourage all submissions. Since the target audience will consist of mainly technophiles we've gathered a list of some of the topics we'd love to see covered below... 
    :: Peer To Peer Networks
          :: Securing
          :: New models
    :: Network Security
          :: Flaws with current protocols
          :: Techniques for hardening
    :: Community based tools 
          :: Social software models
          :: Weblogs
    :: Encryption
          :: Securing your files
          :: Implementation
    :: Telephony 
          :: VoIP
    :: Copyright Issues
          :: Releasing works into the public domain
