The ZaCon II CFP is nearing it's closure date (tomorrow!), and this is an overt reminder to all of you thinking about submitting to do it. ZaCon is a great place to either give your first infosec presentation or deliver a tech-heavy presentation to a receptive crowd. All you need do is submit a short abstract to abstracts@zacon.org.za and if your submission is accepted, prepare and deliver a presentation. You don't even need to write a paper. If that isn't lowering the barrier to entry enough, then you're just lazy :)

If my submission is accepted (heavy bribery underway), then I'm hoping to set up an infosec BP-style debate, and will be approaching some of you "I'm smart but never share that outside the office" types to get involved, and hopefully have some fun.

You can read more of my thoughts on ZaCon here. Also, at some indeterminate point in the future, some ramblings about ZaCon will appear in episode 18 of Let's Talk Geek.
