Old Telstra Saturn Cable infrastructure in wellington.
by Jamie Baddeley 13 Jan '19

13 Jan '19

Hi, I had reason to try and contact Vodafone over the weekend due to some concerns about the mechanical integrity of their ageing overhead cable network. Basically there was a bit that was in danger of getting snagged by a bus or similar. No one on the helpdesk had a clue. The fact that they had overhead wires in a city in NZ seemed like a complete surprise to them. I'm emailing here because the standard routine did not work. This after being routed to several different desks. Does anyone here know how one would resolve an issue like this? Are VF even using this stuff anymore? If not, when are they going to start taking it down so apparent mismanagement of the "asset" doesn't pose a risk to the public? If they are still using it can someone advise the right place to call to get it quickly resolved? Or at least when someone says 'overhead cable infrastructure fault' the response is not 'you'll have to ring Chorus'. cheers jamie

NZNOG Slack
by Nathan Ward 09 Jan '19

09 Jan '19

Hi all, Some of you may have noticed that we recently added another page to the website describing the NZNOG Slack we're trialling. This particular one was created a few years back for conference organisation stuff, but we’re opening it up to others. Slack is a commercial chat product, which is used pretty widely by tech companies[1]. We’re using the free plan right now. We’ll see if we qualify for the non-profit thing to get the extra features, but, not really important at the minute. ** Why: There’s a few different Slacks in related industries in NZ that work really well, and most people I interact with professionally are in a couple of Slacks. It’s really useful to be able to drop someone a quick message, where email isn’t quite the right tool. The goal of the Slack is to facilitate real time conversations between people, and build some more direct relationships. You can have private chats with people when you’re debugging something. You can ask in the public channels for people to send you some traceroutes. You can post funny networking related things in the #random channel. You get the idea. The key really is real time. Also: If you have a clever idea for an integration that’s useful for NZ operators, please, let me know. Write a bot for your looking glass, that sort of thing. ** But what about: There is no intent to take away from the mailing list at all, and I would strongly encourage people to post important messages, requests, and all the usual stuff to this list in order to get a good audience. Of course, I’m aware of other places operators in NZ also discuss stuff that are not NZNOG - and we’ve no intent to take things away from those groups either. There is a #conference-2019 channel, for discussion of whatever’s going on at the conference, announcements, etc. In the past there’s been an IRC channel, and probably still is. ** What else should I know?: Some key notes: - The intent is that it’s for network operators in NZ, or people operating networks that touch NZ networks in some way. - Existing members can nominate new members through Slack itself, and then one of the admins will approve/reject. - The expectation is that discussions are not shared. - Don’t post secrets, passwords etc. There is a code of conduct, which you should read for more: http://www.nznog.org/slack/slack-code-of-conduct <http://www.nznog.org/slack/slack-code-of-conduct> ** How do I get on?: - We’re going to invite everyone who’s registered for the conference. I’m going to do that now, and update it with new registrations as they happen. - Ask someone who’s already on there, and they can nominate you. - Up until the conference, if you want on and the above don’t work, email me (nathan(a)nznog.org <mailto:nathan(a)nznog.org>) and tell me who you are and such, and I’ll invite you. -- Nathan Ward [1] Yes there are other “Free”, “Open”, etc. systems. Yes we could host our own system. The intent here is to get something that’s easy for the largest audience, and right now things tend to be looking towards Slack. This is a trial, so if something significantly better comes along then maybe we move to it - but let’s see if there’s value in this way of interacting first.

by Mehmet Akcin 06 Nov '18

06 Nov '18

Hello everyone, We wanted to share several updates about our project Network Atlas with you. First of all we are very excited to announce now our page has many more features (and more to come) and hosted in a much more robust platform at www.networkatlas.org We've recently made a press release about our project , https://finance.yahoo.com/news/network-atlas-launches-map-global-221500875.… Now we are working on two major tracks 1) Raising funds via sponsorship and our kickstarter to be able to afford future of developments. 2) Talking to engineers , network professionals to understand what would make this tool better everyone. As you might be already aware we have a slack channel you can join and discuss/help the project. here is the slack channel link - https://join.slack.com/t/kapany/shared_invite/enQtNDUwOTIzMDEwODM4LWE5NjNmO… Overall we need network operators who have access to networks/fibre/route information and operational status as we are developing our self service portal which via GUI and API will enable you to be able to provide status of global fibre optic cables, and receive updates the same way. For more information about this project, and other ideas feel free to join our slack or email me directly at mehmet(a)networkatlas.org thank you and we will follow up with further updates in December 2018! We are very excited how far we came so far providing more visibility already ( even though we are just in demo state ) Mehmet Network Atlas https://angel.co/mhmtkcn

Internet for Kiwicon

Could I have some contacts off list that would be willing to help out Kiwicon with a dedicated / reliable / fast internet link? Requirements are a fast (at least 100Mbit) connection and mostly international traffic (video streaming, CTF hosted in AWS Sydney) We're operating out of the Michael Fowler Centre in Wellington on the 15/16/17 November. The building is lit with Citylink fibre but Citylink are unable to help. Kiwicon is non profiting but we do have cash to make this happen, and i'd like to get it sorted! Thanks, Mike

Linux.Conf.Au 2019 is being held in Christchurch, New Zealand near the end of January 2019 (21-25 January), the week before NZNOG 2019 (http://www.nznog.org/nznog-2019) -- thanks to NZNOG for moving from their regular slot to make it possible for those of us who like to attend both conferences. LCA2019 early bird tickets are on sale this month (https://linux.conf.au/attend/tickets/) As usual at LCA, we (Simon Lyall and I) are running a System Administration Miniconf as part of LCA2019, and I'd be quite keen to see some networking-related presentations. Perhaps someone would like to talk about GNS3 for network lab simulation? Or using Ansible / Salt for network configuration automation? Or anything around network monitoring/management. Or high performance networking on commodity hardware controlled by Linux? The LCA2019 Sysadmin Miniconf Call for Presentations is at: http://sysadmin.miniconf.org/cfp19.html and the text is included below for your convenience. Ewen PS: The Sysadmin Miniconf is part of LCA2019, so you'll need a ticket to LCA2019 to attend/speak the Sysadmin Miniconf or any other LCA2019 Miniconf. -=- cut here -=- Call for Presentations Linux.conf.au 2019 Systems Administration Miniconf There will be a one day mini conference on Linux Systems Administration held as part of linux.conf.au 2019. LCA2019 will be held in Christchurch, New Zealand on 21 - 25 January 2019. 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, peers, social networks, and other relevant mailing lists. Please help by encouraging submissions from people you would like to hear present at this Miniconf. This is our 13th Sysadmin Miniconf at Linux.conf.au. Previous presentations can be found at the website: https://sysadmin.miniconf.org/. Presentation Topics =================== We welcome talks on best current practice, new developments in Systems Administration, cutting edge techniques and technologies, and ways to better manage Linux environments large and small. Topics for presentations could include (but are not limited to): Virtualisation and Cloud Computing Kubernetes / Docker / Containers / Orchestration Infrastructure/Platform/Software as a Service (IAAS, PAAS, SAAS) Sysadmin Administration in a "serverless" environment (FAAS) DevOps and SysAdmin Culture Systems Administration Best Practice Monitoring and metrics. Collection, storage and presentation Networkng: IPv6, SDN (Software Defined Networking), performance DevOps, Configuration Management and provisioning Bootstrapping systems, Lifecycle Management Dealing with BYOD Backups in a virtual/distributed world Troubleshooting techniques Keeping legacy systems functioning War stories from the "Real World" 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 professional Unix/Linux administration (many in the audience will have decades of experience). Format of Presentations ======================= We are now seeking proposals for presentations at the mini-conference. We have openings for: 15-25 minute short presentations 5-10 minute "lightning talks" Please note, due to the single day available (and whole-LCA opening before morning tea), we expect the majority of available timeslots to be 20 minutes or less, with possibly 1-2 slightly longer talks if there is space in the schedule. We have a general policy of accepting a high proportion of proposals but handing out relatively short timeslots. Please see previous years Miniconf schedules for examples of how the programme is organised. Submitting talks ================ Please note that in order to give a presentation or attend the Miniconf you must be registered (and paid up by the time the conference happens) 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 to priority with registration. Unfortunately the Miniconf has no budget for sponsorship of speakers. To submit a talk to the LCA2019 Sysadmin Miniconf, create an account on the LCA2019 website: https://linux.conf.au/dashboard create a speaker profile, and then select "SysAdmin Miniconf Talk" (in the "New Proposal" section of the Dashboard), or while logged into the LCA2019 site, go directly to: https://linux.conf.au/proposals/submit/sysadmin-miniconf/ Please pick a preferred length for your presentation from Short Presentation (15/20/25 minutes) or Lightning Talk (5/10 minutes) in the submission form; if you could do either (with more or less detail) use the Private Abstract field to describe the options and what you would prefer. In some cases we maybe able to add a few extra minutes to a few Short Presentations if there is any spare time left in the programme. Use the Private Abstract field to let us know a few more minutes would be useful for your presentation. Questions should be sent to: lca2019 at sysadmin.miniconf.org Dates and Deadlines =================== To encourage early submissions, priority (both of inclusion and scheduling) will be given to presentations submitted by 23:59 (any time zone) on 31st of October 2018. If you have a good presentation idea, please let us know early, even if you need time to finalise the presentation abstract. Please let us know directly if you need an early confirmation to assist you in arranging time off work or travel; we will do our best to help. 2018-10-31 - Deadline for early submissions 2018-11-18 - Deadline for submissions 2018-12-04 - LCA2019 Sysadmin Miniconf programme published 2019-01-21 - LCA2019 Sysadmin Miniconf held (Christchurch, NZ) Contact and Questions ===================== Please see our website at https://sysadmin.miniconf.org for more information on the miniconf, past presentations and presenting at it.
