[Dailydave] SyScan Singapore 2013 - Tenth Anniversary Edition ( not a CFP )

[Thomas Lim]

Dear DD readers

I know Ben said there will be no CFP but I am an old fashion guy. So
here i am issuing this Call For Paper for SyScan'13.

Yes we will be 10 years old next year so we are going to do something
crazy. We are going to give up to S$5000 to all speakers, except for
those who work for COSEINC (my middle finger to you too Ben).

Ben is right about the spreadsheet. We are giving that up. So if you
wish to speak at SyScan'13, you better hope we understand what we are
reading and that we like you. Rather, you better hope that Ben likes you!

So go on to the SyScan website (http://www.syscan.org) and check out the
CFP document.

Thank you
Thomas Lim

Thank you
Organiser SyScan

PS: Oh 1 more thing. If anyone at the conference can out-drink Ben Nagy,
i will pay you S$500 cash. i am doing this to set the record straight
and make Ben recover his "Down Under" pride.
Nico Waisman, get your butt over here in Singapore and settle this once
and for all.
