Having your security conference talk rejected

20.12.2010

Speakers that he would never let talk.

Dark-horse speakers with awesome proposals.

Good speakers with weak proposals that he knows will execute flawlessly.

A whole raft of "yet another systems-development talk" or "yet another vague cloud-is-bad-for-security talk," from which he has to pick just one.

Really awesome proposals that are so unusual that he doesn't know what track to fit them into.
