Re: [nznog] NZNOG06 redux

In message <20060327104307.GA30241(a)citylink.co.nz>, Simon Blake writes: >4) should we have a sysadmin stream? As the person who suggested this (al beit with the prompting of Simon Lyall who was hunting for ligntning talks!), I should say that the motivation is more that there is a small, but growing, group of people interested in reviving SAGE-NZ, who are looking for a conference venue. There were quite a few New Zealanders at the System Administrators miniconf at Linux.Conf.Au in Dunedin in January: http://sysadmin.miniconf.org/program.html Many of them seemed interested in doing it again. But the next Linux.Conf.Au is in Sydney, and so it's likely (based on past experience) that not many of them will make the trip. Since SAGE-NZ isn't really built up enough to run its own independent conference the obvious solution is to find some appropriate existing conference and run something in conjunction with that. NZNOG is an obvious one because there's a reasonable overlap between those that expressed an interest in "doing it again" and NZNOG attendees already. And indeed between what a "system administrator" and a "network administrator" does. If NZNOG is not interested (or stronger, unwilling) to act as host to such a miniconf then that's obviously understandable. But if it is willing to act as host, then I think it'd be best seen as helping SAGE-NZ out, perhaps getting a few more people to help organise things, giving NZNOG attendees an option to learn more about the application layer, and maybe coincidentally helping a few more people justify attending (if only to themselves). After some discussion with Simon Lyall, et al, I suspect the best approach would be a one-day miniconf aligned with the NZNOG tutorial day. That kind of miniconf approach has worked very well for Linux.Conf.Au (which now has half a dozen of them regularly on the days immediately prior to the main conference) and doesn't seem to noticably distract people from the main conference. But of course if y'all really hate the idea, then SAGE-NZ will need to figure something else out. Ewen

Xtra deferring SMTP... again?
by Mark Foster 23 Mar '06

23 Mar '06

Suprised noone has commented today on the fact that it seems since before lunch, Xtra have been deferring SMTP: -- Sorry,_I_wasn't_able_to_establish_an_SMTP_connection._(#4.4.1)/ I figure some people must have some large queues? Further, I believe mail from Xtra's network outbound is also being queued/delayed (as i'm waiting for some.) The whole engineering team can't be at NZNOG - surely! Cheers Mark. (PS: Noted that http://xtra.co.nz/help still shows 'there are no known problems on the Xtra Network' despite the fact I had the issue confirmed by someone in their support team...)

Further to my earlier email, theres a trailer outside the NZNOG06 venue with a satellite link via www.inzonecorp.com (I think - its raining and I'm inside finally). It isn't live, but has neat toys. We'll open the doors at morning and lunch time. For those not at NZNOG I'll post some photos later.

NZNOG 2006 Timetable Revision
by Donald Neal 20 Mar '06

20 Mar '06

The conference's timetable was revised yesterday to better the requirements of a number of speakers. There has been no further change to the material to be presented, but there have been a number of changes to what is scheduled to take place when. There can now be no further changes to the timetable, except of course the last-minute ones forced on us by events beyond our control. - Donald Neal Donald Neal |"I haven't tested it yet, but it Support Engineer |should be perfectly safe."

NZNOG06 - Location, Dinner etc
by Lin Nah 20 Mar '06

20 Mar '06

Hi all Reminder: registrations close at midday. This email covers Location of conference, Late presentation confirmations, dresscode, conference dinner, Wed and fri night dinner * Location of conference NZNOG 2006 will be in Union Hall of the Student Union Building. More information on how to get there, street address etc can be found here : http://www.nznog.org/node/86 Btw there is NO parking allocated for attendees. Please plan accordingly. Also possible to share taxi to campus. If people want to use the wiki to list who is staying where, I have started a list of hotels. http://wiki.nznog.org/index.cgi/Where_are_you_staying * Late Confirmations In case no one has noticed we have had a few speakers added on since registrations opened. a. Chris Liljenstolpe, a Distinguished engineer in Alcatel will be talking about Traffic Engineering Decisions in a Large IP network. http://www.nznog.org/node/79 b. Tom Vest of Caida will be talking about Market Structure and Internet Growth. http://www.nznog.org/node/73 c. Mark Williams from Juniper will be talking about Leading Edge Protocol Developments. http://www.nznog.org/node/72 d. ENUM Talk What hasn't been made clear till recently is there is going to be a presentation within the VoIP tutorial on "ENUM, Privacy and Security - What Has Happened in New Zealand and Why" by Donald Christie and Andrew Ruthven of Catalyst IT. This is a project they have been working on and will be used in an ENUM trial later this year. e. Richard Naylor is not confessing 8) Unfortunately Richard Naylor's other committments has forced him to withdraw his talk. We are still hoping to see a bit of him at the meeting. * Dress code: In case anyone is new to NZNOG meetings, dress code is casual. You will stick out if you wear a suit. 8) T-shirt and jeans will be de rigeour. If you wish to accessorise it, bring your interesting lanyard. Just make sure you can clip/attach the name badge pocket to it. Yes lanyards will be provided. You can however choose to use your own. * Conference network As Joe has mentioned, there's a conference network for all attendees to use. This will enable you to respond to any issues or keep an eye on things at work. Please ensure you can put your mobile or pager in vibrate mode. * Conference Dinner The conference dinner will be at Shooters in Wellington. http://www.shooterswellington.co.nz A caterer has been organised to provide a spit roast meal. I believe people who have indicated their In light of the programme change on Thursday (slightly earlier finish), I think we will be heading to Shooters before 7:30pm. Won't surprise me if it is as early as 7pm. As with previous years, dinner is a casual, relaxed affair to allow all to mingle and socialise at ease. I have been assured the bar tab is bigger than last year AND Shooter's Happy Hour ends at 9pm. I'm hoping to see them today to ensure we are eligible for the Happy hour prices. 8) Entry to the function is limited to conference delegates or student delegates who have purchased a dinner ticket, or guests with tickets purchased by delegates. * Wednesday & Friday night dinner We have to have dinner and so it seems practical to try to have dinner at the same venue. Anyway like last 2 years I am attempting to organise these two dinners. All are welcome. The bill for the evening will be divided equally by the number of people there. So please be warned that you will be expected to pay your share. Dinner on Wednesday night will be at Daawat. Daawat is home to Wellington Thursdaynight curry. Unfortunately it was rulled out as the venue for the conference dinner as the capacity was too small. Since Wed night dinner tends to be smaller in numbers I am confident they can accommodate us. They have been warned about us! 8) Start time really depends on when we end. At the latest the start will be 7:30pm. My guess is we'll probably be there by 7pm, assuming all tutorials are finished by 6pm. Please put your name here if you are planning to come to curry. Otherwise (if you don't get around to it), just show up. http://wiki.nznog.org/index.cgi/Wednesday_Night Venue for dinner on Friday night is still not planned. I don't think we'll have much problem finding somewhere as long as we stay away from pubs as there's a rugby game on. We could have curry again or go somewhere different like Chinese meal or middle eastern. I've started a page for ideas: http://wiki.nznog.org/index.cgi/Friday_Night Look forward to seeing everyone regards lin
