<br>LUG is always about a real exchange of ideas. The LUG program committee
would like to invite members of the Lustre community to submit presentation
abstracts for inclusion in this year's agenda. If you’ve considered it before,
but put it off, we want to hear from you. We’ve made it easy; the first step
simply requires one-page abstract of your proposed talk. We’re looking for
deep-dives, new information, and controversial topics in all areas of Lustre
development, application, or best-practices. The deadline to submit
presentation abstracts is March , 2013.<br>
Please submit your proposal through Easy Chair here: <span><a href="https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=lug2013" target="_blank">https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=lug2013</a></span><br>

This is ultimately a community effort. Lustre is open source to its
core. If your organization is interested in sponsoring LUG, we've got multiple
ways to commit, one that will be perfect for your budget. If you’re into
Lustre, there’s no better visibility than being at LUG: <a href="https://www.gaveledge.com/SFS1301/sponsorships" target="_blank">https://www.gaveledge.com/SFS1301/sponsorships</a></p>
