Re: Talks at Connectathon 2016

[Rob Thurlow <robert.thurlow@oracle.com>]

Hi folks,

I don't have many talks yet, so I am shaking the bushes.  Getting
your ideas out in front of other NFS experts has a lot of value,
whether you have a novel idea or want to see more uniform behaviour
between vendors.

Oh, and it would probably also be good to remind you to register,
too.  Testing your current code or code under development against
other vendor's code at the show offers a much cheaper and faster
way to find and resolve issues than waiting to see it at customer
sites.  Remember that even if you haven't changed your code, others
have.

Thanks,
Rob T
