This message is for those attending or considering attending the SELinux Symposium. I have been asked to organize Birds-of-a-Feature sessions (BoFs) and Work-in-progress Reports (WiPs) for the upcoming SELinux symposium (http://www.selinux-symposium.net/). These sessions will be a less formal time to present new work or discuss topics of mutual interest. Hopefully this will provide an opportunity for community building and collaboration. The conference organizers are currently planning to have a reception with food and drinks on the evening of the first day of the conference. At the beginning of the reception there will be 30 - 45 minutes of WiPs. During the rest of the reception there will be small breakout groups for BoFs. If you are attending the symposium and interested in organizing a BoF or presenting a WiP please submit a proposal. The number of slots for each will be limited, so the sooner you submit your proposal the more likely it will be included. Details on the submission process are included below. Thanks, Karl Work-in-Progress Reports (WiPs) WiPs are an opportunity to present emerging projects and technologies to the community in short presentations. The presentations usually cover works-in-progress, new results, or timely topics. Speakers should submit the title of the presentation, a few sentences describing the topic, and a brief bio by Feb 14 to chair@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Accepted presenters will be notified by email and the final schedule will be placed on the website and posted at the conference. Birds-of-a-Feature Sessions (BoFs) BoFs are an opportunity to have an informal gathering of community members interested in a particular topic.
