Dear SIGCOMM Community Members,

Who owns your research? What should be the role of associations like the ACM? Are they publishers who market science? Or should they strive to make it available to all for free? ACM SIGPLAN is running a poll on these questions in which we encourage you to participate:   http://goo.gl/vlCtn2

4. Building on the success of the HotSDN (Hot Topics in Software Defined Networking) workshop, the Symposium on SDN Research (SOSR) is the premiere venue for research publications on SDN. Co-locating SOSR with the Open Networking Summit (ONS) provides an opportunity for more interaction between researchers and practitioners and more influence on the networking industry. In addition, registered SOSR attendees can attend shared keynote, plenary, and panel sessions, and the social event, on June 17-18 at ONS.  Details at http://opennetsummit.org/sosr/sosr-register/

That’s all for now!
