This evening, I saw the Call For Papers (CFP) on bugtraq for Notacon 2006. I was first introduced to the Notacon guys at Ohio LinuxFest 2005 and have to assume that these guys can host a kickass con (see the photo gallery for proof).
Since being a presenter gets you in for free (and discounted admission on a guest), I figured I’d offer to be a presenter for next year’s convention. I just submitted my topic for presentation which I entitled “Patch Management in a Windows environment”. My abstract was:
“With the number of viruses and worms on the loose increasing almost daily, it’s now more important than ever to keep one’s systems updated. As the number of machines under a single administrator’s control continues to grow, it becomes impossible to keep Windows PCs up to date by hand. In this presentation, Jeremy will describe various ways of keeping large numbers of Windows clients patched and up to date. He will demonstrate how to deploy Service Packs via Group Policy, but will focus on using Microsoft’s Windows Server Update Services to manage large Windows environments.”I’ve never been to Notacon before, but since it seems to be somewhat “hacker-oriented”, I thought it might be a decent topic. Any thoughts?

[…] A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about my presentation submission for Notacon that I sent to the organizers. I got word back that they accepted my presentation and I should be speaking there this year. This will be the first time I’ve made it to Notacon, but it definitely sounds cool. […]
