[Brian C. <ca...@sl...>]

We're doing it again this year, but a few months later than last year.   Sorry if you receive this multiple times. 


   2012 Sleuth Kit and Open Source Digital Forensics Conference
                      http://www.osdfcon.org

               Call For Presentations and Workshops


The 3rd Annual Sleuth Kit and Open Source Digital Forensics Conference will be held on October 3, 2012 in Chantilly, VA and we invite you to submit a presentation (note that the conference is several months later than previous years).  The conference will be attended by digital forensic investigators and developers.  This event is a unique opportunity to make investigators aware of your tools, get feedback from users, meet fellow developers, and help direct the future of open source digital forensics software. 

We are looking for talks on a variety of topics about using open source tools, including:
* Open, plug-in analysis framework designs and experiences
* Automated forensics
* Hard drive analysis and triage
* Analyzing application-level artifacts
* Mobile device forensics
* Cyber incident response
* Getting involved with the community
* User experiences
* Case studies

We are also looking for people who are interested in providing half- and full-day workshops on the day before the conference (October 2, 2012).  The workshops should provide hands-on guidance for using or developing open source digital forensic tools.

About the Conference

The mission of the Sleuth Kit and Open Source Digital Forensics Conference is to create a forum where developers and users of open source digital forensics software can learn and interact.  One of the benefits of open source software in digital forensics is that an investigator can examine how a tool works and better testify to it.   See http://www.opensourceforensics.org for more information on finding open source tools.  

The first conference was held in 2010. Basis Technology has always organized the conferences and Brian Carrier (author of The Sleuth Kit) has been the conference chair.  This years conference will be held at the Westfields Marriott hotel in Chantilly, VA.
