NZNOG-People, I have just finished migrating all of the mailing lists held at The University of Waikato from one server to another.

Hey guys, wondering if anyone from TVNZ On Demand is on this list and wouldn't mind contacting me offlist regarding problems streaming if a user has an IPv6 address. The helpdesk doesn't appear to know what ipv6 is so thought I'd try an alternative. Many thanks Barry

Call for Presentations Linux.conf.au 2014 Systems Administration Miniconf As part of the linux.conf.au conference in Perth, Australia in January 2014 we will be holding a one day mini conference oriented to Linux Systems Administration. The organisers of the Systems Administration Miniconf would like to invite proposals for presentations to be delivered at the Miniconf. Please forward this CFP to your colleagues, social networks, and other relevant mailing lists. This is our 8th year at Linux.conf.au. To see presentations from our previous years, see the miniconf website http://sysadmin.miniconf.org/. Presentation Topics =================== Topics for presentations could include (but are not limited to): Systems Administration, Virtualisation, Cloud computing, Devops, Monitoring, Dealing with "Bring Your Own Device", Configuration Management, Backups, Security, Troubleshooting, Buying Decisions, Identity Management, Two Factor Authentication, Web and Email management, Wiki, Clustering and High Availability, Log Management, Spam and Virus Filtering, VOIP, Ticketing systems, Bootstrapping and automated installation, Packaging and Provisioning, Keeping legacy systems functioning. We strongly welcome topics on best practice, new developments in systems administration and cutting edge techniques to better manage Linux hosts and environments. Presentations should be of a technical nature and speakers should assume that members of the audience have at least a couple of years experience in Unix/Linux administration. Format of Presentations ======================= We are now seeking proposals for presentations at the mini-conference. We have openings for: 45 minute double-length presentations 20 minute full presentations 10-20 minute "How we do things" presentations 5-10 minute "lightning talks" Please note, due to the single day available, we expect the majority of available timeslots to be 20 minutes long or less. The 10-20 minute "How we do things" presentations are intended for people to talk about their sites. Information could include: Servers, talks, tools, people and roles, experiences, software, operating systems, monitoring, alerting, provisioning etc. The intent is to give attendees a picture of what is happening in the "real world" and some understanding of how other sites work, as well as offer you a chance to get suggestions on other tools and practices that might help your site. Discussion of "lessons learned" through really trying to use some of these things are especially welcomed. Submitting talks ================ Please note that in order to give a presentation or attend the miniconf you must be signed up for the main linux.conf.au conference. Presenting at the Miniconf does not entitle you to discounted or free registration at the main conference nor priority with registration.
