Time management and the duration of the talks are one of the critical points in our Congress. It is preferable to ask for a regular talk than trying to rush a quick talk, without allowing free time for the audience questions. 2. We appreciate EXCLUSIVE talks, which wasn't previously published as blog posts, websites, events or any other conferences. 3. We believe in the responsible Full-disclosure so, if your idea is to present a Zero-Day, we want confirmation that you have contacted the manufacturer, and if this contact couldn't be made at your own, we offer to manage it. 4. One of the main reasons for cancelling the contract between speaker and /RootedCON is not to deliver (all) materials on the deadline established. Delays could deduct expenses covering congress and charged to the speaker. 5. PLEASE, it is very important to * CLEARLY * indicates if accommodation or travel is needed when you submit your paper through the CFP form. Rooted reserves the right to not cover that kind of needs if it was not stated initially. -=] Contacting with the organization info-AT-rootedcon.es -=] Our links - Web: http://www.rootedcon.es/en/ - Twitter: @rootedcon #rooted y #rooted2014 - Facebook: http://bit.ly/fbookrooted - LinkedIn: http://bit.ly/linkedinrooted - Rooted mailing-list (spanish): rootedcon@listas.rooted.es - Vimeo: http://www.vimeo.com/rootedcon - Slideshare: http://www.slideshare.net/rootedcon _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ |_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____| --- RootedCON V (2014) - www.rootedcon.es @omarbv
