ILUG 2008 - call for abstracts

QuickImage Category

Well, now that Lotusphere 2008 is in the past, the turrets get set on ILUG2008.  Our first meeting of the year was last night (we are careful what we say in front of Duffbert these days) but decisions were made and registration will be opening soon.  But first things first, if you want to speak at ILUG 2008, now is the time to tell us.  There is an email address to use:
speakers@ilug2008.org

Send me an abstract for a session you would like to present.  The only condition we have is that it is reasonably funky.... We try to keep clear of strategic sessions as much as possible.  If you have an idea for a cool session, jot it down and send it to us asap!.  Remember
1.  Suits on speakers is just wrong at ILUG
2.  This is a user group - informality is the key
3.  Bad language is welcomed, and sometimes encouraged ;)
4. Session length is an  hour.
We will be doing speedgeeking, but not working on that just yet.

Here is an example of one of my abstracts for Lotusphere.

AdminBlast... Over 60 tips in 60 minutes.
Bring coffee to this session as Paul Mooney brings you though over 60 administration tips aimed at improving the domino server environment for all the administrators.  This brain dump of configuration features, notes.ini parameters and recommendations covers almost every aspect of Domino servers, and you are guaranteed to pick up something new.

1 - I was going to put myself forward for an hour of jocularity and jolly Domino related japes delivered in broad Ulster Scots. However given the cosmopolitan nature of ILUG I fear the subtle nuances of "the mither tang" would be lost on all you heathens so I will continue to develop JavaSlabber(tm) in my dingy garret for another year.

I think however that the post ILUG events should be changed to a "fringe" ... Well Edinburgh has it's "fringe" why not ILUG? I was thinking perhaps I-GLUG 2008 - ILUGs naughty cousin ... sponsored by Guinness Smithwicks, Bushmills and the Temple Bar Temperance and Chastity Society... a time for relaxing, Admin vs Developer Mud Wrestling and generally talking s**t.

Dates,times,location and ambulance support to be arranged. Emoticon

Obviously except when directed at Developers? Emoticon

9 - @11... I'm hoping that "planning" and "doing" are two different things.

13 - "Paul Mooney brings you though over 60 administration tips"

I think you need to either "brings" to "takes" or "through" to "off". I'd go with the former, but whatever floats your boat.
