> Greetings, could this please be posted to the following e-mail address? 
> 
> ocuug at listserv.storm.ca
> 
> We want YOU to submit a paper this year to the LISA conference.
> Really. Yes, you! Whether you are an academic developing new
> algorithms that improve system administration, a leader of an open
> source project that sysadmins find valuable, or a practitioner in
> industry that has written new software to improve productivity, we
> believe there's a paper inside all of you that wants to get out!
> (LISA '11 is December 4-9, 2011, in Boston). LISA is also a great
> venue for student papers: it is a friendly audience and we have a
> "Best Student Paper" award that pays cash.
> 
> LISA '11 is doing three big things this year to make it easier to
> submit a paper:
> 
> 1. We provide mentoring.
> 
> Submitting a paper to a conference can be intimidating, a lot of work,
> and stressful. To make the process easier, the members of the LISA
> Program Committee (PC) are available to provide mentoring. You can
> bounce ideas off of us by email or phone, we'll proofread your drafts,
> and we'll try to answer any questions about the conference or submission
> process. Just write "assign me a mentor" in email to the conference
> co-chairs at lisa11chairs at usenix.org.
> 
> Mentors can help turn your accepted abstract into a "print ready" final
> draft. We'll also work with you over video chat to rehearse and
> strengthen your presentation for the conference.
> 
> 2. You don't have to submit a full paper.
> 
> It can be heartbreaking to write a complete paper only to learn it
> wasn't accepted for this year's conference. Papers are 8 to 18 pages;
> that's a lot of writing. In recent years about 20 of the approximately
> 80 submitted papers were accepted.
> 
> While you may submit a complete paper, we will also accept an
> "extended abstract" of 4-8 pages. You only write the full paper by
> the publication deadline if your abstract is accepted.
> 
> In an extended abstract, you document the meat of your paper. You want
> to make sure you don't leave out important points such as what you have
> achieved along with how you achieved it. Phrases like "the full paper
> will reveal the new algorithm" don't allow the PC to evaluate your
> efforts. Working with a mentor can help you through this process to
> ensure you submit the best abstract possible.
> 
> 3. You don't have to be a scientist.
> 
> "But I haven't invented anything!" Refereed papers describe work that
> advances the art or practice of system administration and are held to
> high research standards. However, LISA has an additional category
> called "Practice and Experience Reports" (PER) that describe a
> substantial system administration project whose story reveals lessons
> worth sharing. In other words, you did something awesome and want to
> tell the world about it so they can learn from your mistakes. (Did I say
> mistakes? I meant "learn from your awesomeness.") Actually, failures
> are often worth documenting as we learn the most!
> 
> A PER is judged on the basis of whether it addresses a pressing or
> rising need in the industry and the usefulness of the lessons learned.
> If accepted, a final draft of the full report (4-10 pages) is due by the
> publication deadline, just like refereed papers.
> 
> The first paper I presented at a LISA conference would have been a PER,
> if the category had existed then. That was 1997! My paper wasn't
> rocket science (or even computer science), but we were able to explain
> some valuable insights into what to do (but mostly what not to do).
> 
> We're also looking for proposals for general talks, special Q&A talks
> called "The Guru Is In," and posters.
> 
> http://www.usenix.org/lisa11/cfpb
> 
> Conclusion
> 
> Every PC member is currently reaching out to friends, calling
> universities, and visiting user groups to encourage people to submit
> papers. We'd love for you to announce the Call for Participation at your
> local user group meetings (and we'll give you a little gift if you do).
> Let us know if you're interested in getting more involved by
> participating on a future PC.
> 
> LISA '11 is making an extra big effort to seek out new papers and new
> authors. We're doing outreach, we're making the submission process
> easier, and we're providing mentoring. So, if you have never submitted
> an abstract to LISA, maybe this is your year. Contact us if you are on
> the fence. Maybe we can answer your questions and concerns to put you
> on the path to successful author.

The focus of CSET is on the science of cyber security evaluation, as
well as experimentation, measurement, metrics, data, and simulations as
those subjects relate to computer and network security. Because of the
complex and open nature of the subject matter, CSET '11 is designed to
be a workshop in the traditional sense. Presentations will be
interactive, with the expectation that a substantial amount of this time
may be given to questions and audience discussion.

- FOCI '11: USENIX Workshop on Free and Open Communications on the Internet
Monday, August 8, 2011
http://www.usenix.org/events/foci11
The first USENIX Workshop on Free and Open Communications on the
Internet (FOCI) seeks to bring together researchers and practitioners
from both technology and policy who are working on policies or
technologies to detect or circumvent practices that inhibit free and
open communications on the Internet.

- WOOT '11: 5th USENIX Workshop on Offensive Technologies
Monday, August 8, 2011
http://www.usenix.org/events/woot11
Progress in the field of computer security is driven by a symbiotic
relationship between our understandings of attack and of defense. The
USENIX Workshop on Offensive Technologies (WOOT) aims to bring together
researchers and practitioners in systems security to present research
advancing the understanding of attacks on operating systems,
networks, and applications.

- HealthSec '11: 2nd USENIX Workshop on Health Security and Privacy
Tuesday, August 9, 2011

combine posters and brief presentations by position paper authors,
slightly longer talks by extended abstract authors, and panel
discussions.

- HotSec '11: 6th USENIX Workshop on Hot Topics in Security
Tuesday, August 9, 2011
http://www.usenix.org/events/hotsec11
HotSec is renewing its focus by placing singular emphasis on new ideas
and problems. HotSec takes a broad view of security and privacy and
encompasses research on topics including but not limited to large-scale
threats, network security, hardware security, software security, physical
security, programming languages, applied cryptography,
privacy, human-computer interaction, emerging computing environment,
sociology, and economics.

- MetriCon 6.0: Sixth Workshop on Security Metrics
Tuesday, August 9, 2011
http://www.securitymetrics.org/content/Wiki.jsp?page=Metricon6.0
Attendance at MetriCon 6.0 is by invitation only.

Whether you're a researcher, a system administrator, or a policy wonk,
come to the 20th USENIX Security Symposium and the co-located workshops
to find out how changes in computer security are going to affect you.

See you in San Francisco!
