Hi all,

Starting this new thread here as a way to collect information about upcoming presentations on ceph research at international conferences, instead of having an individual thread for every new meeting. Feel free to post links to abstracts to inform others that may be interested. By having the links here, this thread will also serve as a directory of researchers and their work.

Suggestions and comments always appreciated!

I am going to this. AWESOME. Can we have a TONMO mini-con at the Fiorito presentation on Saturday?

In a time machine? Probably a good idea to quote the title in case someone slips in an entry (or two) before your post :biggrin2:
