Opus is an International Civil Engineering Consultancy firm (ex Works Consultancy). 151.135.0.0/16 is their old class B. They "gave it back" a couple of years ago as they were basically only using it behind a firewall and they wanted to be good net citizens (My wife contracts to them). cheers mark

Appointment of NZRS Chief Executive
by Andy Linton 12 Jan '09

12 Jan '09

This extract is from an NZRS press release went out earlier today - I'm posting it to the list given the recent discussion on this list regarding Enum and the reference to it here. .nz Registry Services is delighted to announce the appointment of Jay Daley to the position of Chief Executive of NZRS. Jay was formerly Director of IT at Nominet UK, one of the world’s leading domain name registries, and brings to his new role a wealth of experience in registry management, leadership and strategic management, and critical technology systems management. He combines a passion for technical excellence with a desire to foster a culture of consensus decision‐ making, lifelong learning, knowledge sharing and excellent customer service. One of Jay’s notable recent successes has been heading the implementation of Enum in the UK, the first diversification undertaken by Nominet UK.

A very rough overview of current state of NZ IPv6 deployment.
by Dean Pemberton 11 Jan '09

11 Jan '09

I'm not cross-posting I swear =) The following information was just posted to the IPv6 Steering Group TechSIG list and as it's got network operational content I'm posting it here as well. http://www.geek.nz/ipv6/ It's a quick stab (not complete by any means at all) at a survey of the state of IPv6 deployment within New Zealand. Discussion around this is in full flight on the TechSIG list. For those of you who missed what list I'm talking about. Here is the the invitation again. Dean ---------------------------- A workshop at held at InternetNZ on the 28 November in Wellington saw the formation of a New Zealand IPv6 Steering Group. This group includes representatives from telecommunications carriers, internet service providers, ICT vendors, and industry and user associations. The members of this steering group consist of invited senior representatives from the following organisations: InternetNZ TUANZ ISPANZ Telecommunications Carriers Forum Digital Development Forum Telecom TelstraClear WorldXChange Orcon FX Networks REANNZ Canterbury Development Corporation Kordia Cisco Vodafone Juniper Networks Alcatel Lucent Braintrust Prophecy Networks This steering group will primarily be concerned with high level discussion regarding the deployment of IPv6 within New Zealand. The steering group will not necessarily be a place where technical discussion takes place. As with so many things these days, a combination of business and technical expertise must be bought together to solve a given problem. To this end at the same workshop a Technical Special Interest Group (TechSIG) was also established. The goals of this group are: . To act as a central point for IPv6 technical discussion within the New Zealand Internet community. . To identify to the IPv6 Steering Group any business related barriers to IPv6 deployment which have been identified by the SIG's technical contributors. . To comment and provide potential solutions to technical related barriers identified by members of the IPv6 Steering Group. . To stimulate the production of relevant technical documentation. The co-conveners of this group are Andy Linton Nathan Ward Brian Carpenter Dean Pemberton A mailing list has been created and membership is open to all interested parties. Subscription details can be found at the link below; http://listserver.internetnz.net.nz/mailman/listinfo/ipv6-techsig I would encourage anyone who has an interest in the deployment and growth of IPv6 to join and contribute to the list. Please do not feel that this is a 'Networking Specialist Only' list. The deployment of IPv6 (and depletion of IPv4) has just as significant an impact on system administrators and content/application providers as it does on network administrators. I welcome all technical viewpoints onto the list. Thank you for your time. Dean Pemberton (Co-convener, IPv6 Steering Group Technical SIG)

One more reminder to send us (a) topics you'd like to see discussed, and (b) offers to introduce a specific topic. This is your chance to talk with your peers about layer 7 issues which are of relevance to you. To date we have had suggested: - configuration automation (puppet, cfengine, and friends) - scaling network monitoring (eg, distributed nagios) - virtualisation (VMWare ESX, etc) No one showed any interest in talking about ENUM (either having it as a topic, or giving an intro talk), so perhaps that topic is too last week. We'd be happy to host it if there is still interest, particularly if those trying to get the 4.6.e164 delegation are willing to turn up and talk about it.

NZNOG09 not too far away now...
by Jonny Martin 07 Jan '09

07 Jan '09

Hi All, NZNOG09 is now less than three weeks away. Please register now if you haven't already! Please don't leave it until the last week as so many of you tend to do :). http://2009.nznog.org/ The NZNOG block booking at the Mount Richmond Hotel for NZNOG09 has now completely sold out. Given that we block booked virtually the entire hotel you'll find it hard to get accommodation there for the duration of the conference if you haven't already booked it. We have a great list of speakers again this year, as well as not one, but two social functions which are at no additional cost thanks to our generous sponsors. Thanks, and look forward to seeing you in Auckland, City of Sales... Jonny. For the NZNOG09 org team.

Re: [nznog] enum
by Michael Sutton 06 Jan '09

06 Jan '09

This is my third email on the subject of ENUM. (on a diet) Firstly; I would appreciate and hope that experts including members of NZNOG do not argue to justify why USER ENUM should NOT be implemented in New Zealand. It is not up to individuals to quantify how it will be used or the value of it to end users and application developers in the fullness of time. It is instead up to our community to actively promote and facilitate the use of any reasonable protocol on the Internet. The truly unique fact about 4.6.e164.arpa is that it is an officially sanctioned/moderated top level domain using the stable DNS ENUM services. ENUM (the protocol) is operational around the world and also in New Zealand via DNS client USER ENUM enquiries made both to countries already actively using e164.arpa as well as other registries such as e164.org TLD's. For myself I see this as a real issue of my personal Internet usage rights in New Zealand. Imagine if we were still considering whether New Zealand should have its own CC TLD. That is the situation we are in with respect to USER ENUM 4.6.e164.arpa. I cannot opt-in to register my New Zealand telephone number and all my associated communication services while ~50 countries can. Imagine if each internet protocol had to be approved by local entities such as the MED, TCF and InternetNZ. Eg. email or http/https web or skype or h323 - such a scenario is impossible to countenance. Yet User ENUM 4.6.e164.arpa delegation has been "frozen" for years by agreements between the MED (TCF and InternetNZ). 4.6.e164.arpa delegation must be approved by the MED and as such I recommend that the MED delegate it to themselves and fast track operation and policy implementation. New Zealand Telco companies who are members of the TCF already use PROVIDER ENUM as a backroom routing protocol. There is nothing they need from USER ENUM 4.6.e164.arpa but they do need to co-operate with the authentication process for establishing USER ENUM registrations. The political issue here of USER ENUM is why New Zealanders are being 'prevented' from using this service. We need a least cost, least capture USER ENUM Registry to be established which puts ENUM client users as well as application developers interests as the prime consideration. Issues concerning +1 delegation: Previous emails suggested that the United States +1 delegation was lapsed as there was no demand - This is not the situation. It is useful to appreciate that +1 represents a number of Caribbean countries as well as Canada and the United States and the complications that this fact originally had. +1 had been registered delegated for trial to "CC1 ENUM LLC" (a private company Country Code 1 ENUM Limited Liability Company). This Company's shareholders include AT&T, Sprint-Nextel, and Verizon etc - Board Papers show the stake-holder were/are not in themselves interested in supporting USER ENUM instead their primary goal was PROVIDER ENUM with delegation of 1.e164.arpa to the Company. The US State Department however "refused" to renew the +1 registration to CC1 ENUM LLC in February 2008 as the Company does not need the delegation to operate PROVIDER ENUM. Indeed the Company is proceeding with PROVIDER ENUM using 1.e164.us. (which is not a sanctioned ITU ENUM). Then in May of 2008, positively supported by United States Representatives, the ITU SG adopted "new" guidelines to cover delegation of numbers such as +1 which represent multiple countries. Therefore Canada and the other Caribbean countries are also supporting this guideline. What appears to have happened is that because CC1 ENUM LLC was only really interested in routing optimization, the US Government has pulled the plug on it because it was making no plan for USER ENUM and rather than letting the LLC remain as the Delegee the U.S.G. decided to prevent capture by this entity. This situation closely mirrors that in New Zealand - the networks want PROVIDER ENUM but eschew USER ENUM. The actions of the US Government in May 2008 (Geneva) show that they are very keen for USER ENUM to be enabled for the 1.e164.arpa countries. My advice to the Minister: On the 19th December 2008 I wrote to Ministers of the NZ Government requesting (in one part) that implementation of USER ENUM be expedited and set as a KPI of the relevant Ministry. I was completely unaware at the time of the application that was to be made on the 23rd of December by Mr. Jones for delegation of 4.6.e164.arpra. Unless the ITU receives a letter from the MED within 60 days of Mr. Jones' application the ITU will refuse the application. This notice of refusal will then be communicated by the email list to every international subscriber to the list (private/corporate/government) and will show New Zealand, I suggest, in a disorganized and poor light. (No criticism of Mr. Jones) Should this ENUM 4.6.e164.arpa registration situation then be repeated again and again and again then Kiwis will look like Thanksgiving turkeys. Best regards Michael Sutton ( Previously InternetNZ's ENUM Task Force Chairperson.) http://www.awacs.co.nz (NZNOG conference timing provides conflicts with my current schedule :( ) I suggest Andrew Ruthven and Don Christie from Catalyst be invited to attend any panel session NZNOG has)

Any Juniper heads out there?

Hi All, I have a Juniper J2320 running JunOS 9.0 R2.10 Enhanced Services, on which I'm trying to configure as an IKE gateway in hopes that I can connect using NetScreen-Remote or some other IPsec software from various DSL links (Dynamic IKE endpoints and NAT traversal). Is anyone familiar with Juniper and IPsec/IKE? Any tips welcome. Regards, Nick Larsen PS: I have looked at many pieces of documentation, but they're either for static endpoints, or using X-Auth with RADIUS. Or perhaps I'm just being blind.

False accusations ? the thing I'm finding is that people are asking for more information and we are getting 'yes yes, we will give you the information if you ask for it !' which isn't actually giving anyone anything about the intentions behind the application. This is very typical of commercial entities (and infact, anyone trying to divert attention away from something) when they are about to do something that will not necessarily be in the publics best interest. This has been an exceedingly common tactic in the NZ Internet industry since it started. The lack of any positive from JONES JAMES F and the ability to silently sidestep any real questions on his companies intentions for the enum allocation raise warning bells in my mind. I guess you've got a different outlook. Good for you, at least you're still smiling as you get shafted. > How about outlining how you'd like to see the system used in NZ? I really don't think it will ever get used, which is probably for the best. I also think allocating/activating it with no set plan as to how this is going to be implemented is dangerous. All it would take is a reasonably large carrier (verizon ? etc..) to perform a lookup, get a response and incorrectly route a call and you'd end up with chaos (keeping in mind that this is _supposed_ to be an official way route PSTN allocated numbers via IP). How are number allocations going to be handled ? how about coping with number portability ? do we sub delegate based on the NAD ? if the NAD has control then why is a private/commercial entity looking after the allocation ? is this entity going to charge to gain access to this system (even tho its open ! yay for word games) and if so, how much and will any charges slow adoption ? oh, and answering Craigs questions would also be nice. > How about putting a shout out for support for your ideas? I dont have any ideas other than 'it should be allocated to the MED/DNC/Peter Mott in order to stop this sort of thing from happening. > Seems to me that there are people here who are just jealous that > someone's trying to do something with this enum stuff. Yup, what a wonderful conclusion you've come to. I'd just like to make sure that a system such as enum, that is seen as a standard (with a low uptake, granted) does not fall in to the hands of some crowd that will in all likely-hood exploit it to make $$, prove to me that this is NOT the case and i'll happily shut up. (and yeah, I know there are checks around the allocations and I would _hope_ that they all work swimmingly, but call be a skeptic - especially when there are names such as Alcatel-Lucent and Telecom NZ behind the application based on the original e-mail sent to the list) > How about getting this thread moving back in a positive direction rather > than a pointless flame?! I find anything questioning why a public standard falls under the control of an unknown commercial entity, in order to line someones pockets, to have a reasonably valid point. If you see this as being pointless, then feel free to use your delete button or ignore the thread. I know, doom and gloom - but I have yet to meet anyone that can predict the future and looking back after the fact and saying 'oops, we maybe shouldn't have done that' doesn't really help things move forward. The NZ Internet industry has done that too often in the past, why are we doing it again now ? -- Steve.

VoIP Peering - was Re: enum

OK lets cut to the guts of the problem. How do we get VoIP peering sooner rather than later ? Tomorrow, yet another year will have passed. Progress starts today. Assumption 1 - The big T(s) make about 50% of revenue off the PSTN equivalent to about $2.5B, so don't expect any co-operation. Assumption 2 - it has to be neutral - the Govt should NOT be involved. Of course they are welcome to peer, in fact its a surprise that Govt depts don't have inter-Dept peering already, its a bit of a no brainer for them. Maybe GSN was going to get there...... Assumption 3 - it has to be simple, so that VoIP providers and end users can get involved. (besides I'm on holiday and my horizons are sleep, food and beer) Assumption 4 - It should be distributed and scaleable.. (are you peering with your city, your region, your country or the World ?) So we need something NOW, that can be migrated if required. But we shouldn't be waiting on committees or politicians. Richard

Re: [nznog] enum
by Michael Sutton 29 Dec '08

29 Dec '08

I would suggest that NZNOG community read InternetNZ's ENUM archive there are two major ENUM related reports as well as an Open Source Software that InternetNZ released. I enclose some links to downloads and documents I refer to (see below). ENUM should be activated for New Zealand as it is an enabler which permits systems and network developers to utilize ENUM in a transparent way to the end user but which enhances the phone address lookup and uses the DNS which is already globally implemented. Note The ENUM system also enables PSTN numbers to be entered and used (subject to the rules of the Registry). Here's some points: 1. While an InternetNZ Councilor from 2003 - July 2007* and as Chair of the ENUM Task force I advocated for ENUM to be fast tracked and activated with a Personal User Agent software (UCI PUA service). ENUM has however been frozen since 2006 by agreements between MED, TCF and InternetNZ to delay ENUM which IMHO does not support our interest's of choice through ENUM operation and access. 2. In my opinion the MED should be required by Government to request delegation of 4.6.e164.arpa (ENUM) unto itself. MED should host ENUM on trial servers on their own ip address space which should be used for boot-strap testing and which can then be transitioned with technical delegation, operation and policy being determined on a fast track basis. The Government should include in the MED's key performance indicators measurements to incentivise their role in the implementation of ENUM for New Zealand. 3. There were discussions resulting in the current situation but there has been no ENUM Trial between InternetNZ, the TCF, NAD and MED. 4. In 2005 InternetNZ as part of the then ENUM initiative and research - INZ funded a UCI, PUA, ENUM (ETSI EG 284 004) software prototype which was developed by CatalystIT (extreme programming - shouts to AndrewR) which used the ENUM directory system, but the trial did not activate the 4.6.e164.arpa delegation, which it would in practice, or trial an ENUM authorization and registration process. In connection with this work: The final version ETSI EG 284 004 in September 2007 recommendations stated that UCI & PUA will use the public ENUM e164.arpa as a global directory. The work of InternetNZ and CatalystIT in New Zealand was recognized in reports on this matter to the European Commission and was used during the development of the final ETSI Guide/Standard which was approved in Europe by vote in 2007. The APEC Business Advisory Council's Report to the APEC Leaders in Bussan also included direct reference to this work. Note PUA is a Personal User Agent routing firewall system for client of isp telco services and UCI is an opt-in Universal Communications Identifier. Recently an Italian company undertaking a research and development contract for communication services for blind people (was contracted by the Italian Ministry of Science to implement a system using UCI PUA ENUM) communicated and requested access to InternetNZ's reports and the open source program code that InternetNZ released. 5. InternetNZ has $20,000 allocated for ENUM in the current place holder budget. 6. The ITU will not approve the ENUM delegation application of James Jones as the MED will not send a letter of endorsement to the ITU in support of this application - or will they.

Very funny xtra bound mail (yahoo) goes via another provider

Heya, While drinking beer and playing with the routing table, i notice that mail destined for Xtra: xtra.co.nz. 799 IN MX 20 mx2.tnz.mail.yahoo.com. xtra.co.nz. 799 IN MX 10 mx1.tnz.mail.yahoo.com.

I know this may not be news to everyone yet, and yes, it's not the first time I've mentioned (1) vocus in the last week, but from what I can tell they seem to be doing a good job for the NZ internet so far.

xtra tedium.
by Steve Holdoway 19 Dec '08

19 Dec '08

Is there anyone from xtra/yahoo who reads this list? I've run out of things that I can do to get your servers to accept my mail.

NZNOG 2009 Network Management Miniconf
by Ewen McNeill 19 Dec '08

19 Dec '08

If you've registered for NZNOG 2009 (http://2009.nznog.org/register) you will have seen that we are holding another network administrators miniconf on the Wednesday tutorial day. We'd like to try a different format this year and have a few BoF-style sessions on various ISP systems/network management topics, each with a brief introductory talk followed by an extended discussion period (10-30 minutes depending on interest in the topic). We would like suggestions for topics of interest to anyone planning on coming to the miniconf. We would also welcome any offers to speak for a few minutes (5-15 minutes) on a topic as a lead into discussion. This is your opportunity to find out what your peers at other ISPs have found does or does not work. Some topics that have been mentioned in informal discussion, or happened in previous years: - system configuration automation (puppet, bcfg, cfengine, etc) - system/network monitoring (nagios, etc, especially scalability) - mail systems/spam filtering/webmail But there are plenty of other possible topics so let us know what is relevant to you at present. Please send topic suggestions and offers to talk to: <talks09(a)nznog.miniconf.org> Simon Lyall and Ewen McNeill Network Administrators Miniconf

Do you grok DNSSEC?
by Sam Sargeant 19 Dec '08

19 Dec '08

Hi all. There are two conferences coming up early next year that have a track on DNSSEC. Both NZNOG and APRICOT are looking to find people who have experience and would be happy to share their thoughts. My feeling is that actual use in .nz is small however I'd love to hear from you if there's something you've done with DNSSEC. Ideally we'd like people who are willing to talk in Manilla or Auckland but even just a few shared thoughts are appreciated. http://2009.nznog.org/ http://apricot2009.net/ BTW, registrations are open for both. Register now! :) Sam.

NZRR Route Registry Update
by NZRR Database Notifications 18 Dec '08

18 Dec '08

Dear Colleague, This is to notify you that one or more objects in which you are designated for notification have been modified in the NZRR routing registry database. These objects are used to configure the various NZIX route servers (http://nzix.net/) so you can expect the relevant servers to be reloaded in the near future. The reloading of the servers is staggered over a period of time so that if you are peering with both servers at an exchange, you can maintain at least one BGP session at all times and consequently a full set of routes.

IPv6 Steering Group Technical SIG - Announcement/Invitation
by Dean Pemberton 18 Dec '08

18 Dec '08

A workshop at held at InternetNZ on the 28 November in Wellington saw the formation of a New Zealand IPv6 Steering Group. This group includes representatives from telecommunications carriers, internet service providers, ICT vendors, and industry and user associations. The members of this steering group consist of invited senior representatives from the following organisations: InternetNZ TUANZ ISPANZ Telecommunications Carriers Forum Digital Development Forum Telecom TelstraClear WorldXChange Orcon FX Networks REANNZ Canterbury Development Corporation Kordia Cisco Vodafone Juniper Networks Alcatel Lucent Braintrust This steering group will primarily be concerned with high level discussion regarding the deployment of IPv6 within New Zealand. The steering group will not necessarily be a place where technical discussion takes place. As with so many things these days, a combination of business and technical expertise must be bought together to solve a given problem. To this end at the same workshop a Technical Special Interest Group (TechSIG) was also established. The goals of this group are: . To act as a central point for IPv6 technical discussion within the New Zealand Internet community. . To identify to the IPv6 Steering Group any business related barriers to IPv6 deployment which have been identified by the SIG's technical contributors. . To comment and provide potential solutions to technical related barriers identified by members of the IPv6 Steering Group. . To stimulate the production of relevant technical documentation. The co-conveners of this group are Andy Linton Nathan Ward Brian Carpenter Dean Pemberton A mailing list has been created and membership is open to all interested parties. Subscription details can be found at the link below; http://listserver.internetnz.net.nz/mailman/listinfo/ipv6-techsig I would encourage anyone who has an interest in the deployment and growth of IPv6 to join and contribute to the list. Please do not feel that this is a 'Networking Specialist Only' list. The deployment of IPv6 (and depletion of IPv4) has just as significant an impact on system administrators and content/application providers as it does on network administrators. I welcome all technical viewpoints onto the list. Thank you for your time. Dean Pemberton (Co-convener, IPv6 Steering Group Technical SIG)

by Dean Pemberton 16 Dec '08

16 Dec '08

Interesting reading. http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20081216/ts_alt_afp/uschinaitinternetsoftwarecr… Microsoft will release an emergency patch on Wednesday to fix a perilous software flaw allowing hackers to hijack Internet Explorer browsers and take over computers. The US software giant said on Tuesday that in response to "the threat to customers" it immediately mobilized security engineering teams worldwide to deliver a software cure "in the unprecedented time of eight days." According to researchers at software security firm Trend Micro, attacks based on the vulnerability in the world's most popular Web browser are spreading "like wildfire" with millions of computers already compromised.

FW: Media Release - Industry agrees - IPv6 transition plan needed
by Mark Foster 16 Dec '08

16 Dec '08

This just came to my attention... Industry agrees - IPv6 transition plan needed Media Release - 15 December 2008 Following a workshop convened by the Ministry of Economic Development, major ICT industry and stakeholder organizations have agreed on the need for New Zealand to develop a transition plan from IPv4 to IPv6, the next generation Internet addressing protocol. The transition plan will include education, and identification and removal of roadblocks to IPv6 deployment. There is growing urgency for the Internet to support both IPv4 and IPv6, which together will offer vastly increased resources. More than one million new devices connect to the Internet every week and the pool of four billion IPv4 addresses is expected to be exhausted by 2010. IPv6 supports a much larger pool of addresses, enough to assign an IP address to each grain of sand in a fine layer covering the entire planet. Internet advocacy group InternetNZ, a key sponsor of IPv6-related initiatives in New Zealand, has agreed to provide continued support for furthering IPv6 as a national industry initiative under the auspices of the Digital Development Forum. The forum is a multi-stakeholder initiative designed to promote New Zealand's transition into the digital economy. The workshop was held on 28 November in Wellington and saw the formation of an IPv6 Steering Group, which includes representatives from telecommunications carriers, internet service providers, ICT vendors, and industry and user associations. A complete list of stakeholder organizations is included at end of this release. Telecommunications industry consultant Dr Murray Milner has been confirmed as independent convenor for the steering group. Milner says IPv6 provides much more flexibility in allocating addresses, and will allow Internet growth in New Zealand to keep pace with the expected worldwide trend. InternetNZ Executive Director Keith Davidson says the initiative is more than welcomed and indicates increasing recognition that IPv6 deployment will be a business-critical issue as IPv4 exhaustion looms. While this is not a Y2K scenario, unless New Zealand has a clear plan for the introduction of IPv6 then there is an increased risk of Internet black holes developing. "This may mean that communication via the internet may not be possible in the near future between parts of New Zealand's IPv4-based Internet and certain developing countries such as China and India, where IPv6-only Internet infrastructure is currently being deployed," says ISPANZ President Jamie Baddeley. Digital Development Council Executive Director Paul Alexander points out that it is not time to panic but it is time for the ICT industry to get organised and reach out to the wider business community to explain the issue. CEO of the Telecommunications Carrier's Forum Ralph Chivers says that progress can only be made with a co-coordinated and concerted effort across the ICT sector to ensure New Zealand has a timely and trouble-free transition to IPv6. IPv6 was highlighted in Digital Strategy 2.0, which mirrored the growing urgency expressed in global ICT technical forums on the need for leadership amongst key industry stakeholders in transitioning to IPv6. IPv4 was deployed in the mid 1980's, at a time when billions of Internet connections were never contemplated. IPv6 has been under development since the mid 1990's, and currently exists in small pockets around the world. TUANZ Chief Executive Ernie Newman says that users welcome the initiative and that TUANZ stands ready to take an active part in educating users once equipment suppliers and the registry have ensured they are fully prepared and have clarified the major steps users need to take. Next steps include development of a technical education plan to stimulate IPv6 skills in New Zealand's ICT and academic sectors. This will be followed by development of a roadmap for the deployment of IPv6 for New Zealand and a business sector outreach programme. A national IPv6 Hui anticipated for September 2009 is also planned.

Vendor Reception at NZNOG09
by Nathan Ward 16 Dec '08

16 Dec '08

Hi all, At NZNOG09 in January we are intending on trying something a little new - having a "Vendor Reception" on the Wednesday evening. This is to give vendors the chance to meet people with glossy pieces of paper handy, and also to encourage the social aspect of the conference and networking with industry peers. The format of this is roughly: - Vendors/someone wanting to sell something sets up some sort of stand, table, demo, whatever[1] around a room/pool. - Vendor swag encouraged[2]. - Open bar, possibly dinner depending on numbers and budget. - Informal. We may do a bit at some point early in the evening where vendors can stand up and read out a short[3] personals ad - we'll decide how that goes closer to the time based on how many people are interested in participating and exhibiting, and other arbitrary criteria we have yet to invent. This will be open to sponsors automagically. Non-sponsors can participate, and would be asked to contribute to offset the cost of drinks and food for the evening. Please contact me on nznog(a)daork.net if you're interested in exhibiting. Cheers! -- Nathan Ward [1] Jonny "Mr Marketing" Martin suggests a bar leaner with a bottle of some premium liquor. [2] Those FX coffee mugs from 2002 or whenever it was were great, I still use mine but I feel it's time for a change. Hint hint. [3] "Short": adjective. An arbitrary period of time in minutes counted on one hand.

NZNOG09 Fellowships
by Jonny Martin 15 Dec '08

15 Dec '08

Hi All, NZNOG09 is being hosted by FX Networks at the Mount Richmond Hotel and Conference Centre in Mt. Wellington, Auckland from Wednesday 28 to Friday 30th January, 2009. Following on from the successful fellowship program offered last year there will once again be a small number of fellowship packages available. Fellowships are open to all - employed, unemployed, students, programmers. The aim of this is to provide assistance to those people that mightn't otherwise be able to come - but have a lot to offer to, or gain from, the NZNOG community. Fellowships will cover conference and tutorial registration fees, and up to three nights accommodation at the NZNOG venue. Travel assistance may be considered if applicants are able to provide solid justification for why it would be needed. Up to five fellowship packages are being made available. Applicants must: - Write a few paragraphs explaining why they need a fellowship to NZNOG'09 and what they hope to get out of it. - Their employer can't or won't cover them and they're having to cover costs personally or they're a student / unemployed. - Demonstrate a history of involvement in some aspect of the NZNOG community or an intent to become involved, and how attending NZNOG'09 will benefit them. - Actually attend the NZNOG sessions! Fellowship prospects will be helped greatly if applicants are presenting, or intend to present a conference paper, lightning talk, convene a BOF, or otherwise contribute to the conference. Submissions will be evaluated by the NZNOG 2008 organising committee. We need to be satisfied that there is a legitimate need for the fellowship. Email your submissions to talks(a)nznog.org - and while you are there, why not tell us about the talk/lightning talk/BOF you wish to provide... Closing date for applications Monday 15th December Successful applicants will be notified by Wednesday 17th December. Cheers, Jonny.

NZRR Route Registry Update
by NZRR Database Notifications 14 Dec '08

14 Dec '08

Dear Colleague, This is to notify you that one or more objects in which you are designated for notification have been modified in the NZRR routing registry database. These objects are used to configure the various NZIX route servers (http://nzix.net/) so you can expect the relevant servers to be reloaded in the near future. The reloading of the servers is staggered over a period of time so that if you are peering with both servers at an exchange, you can maintain at least one BGP session at all times and consequently a full set of routes.

Anyone got a WiSpy in Auckland?
by Nathan Ward 14 Dec '08

14 Dec '08

Hello all, I need to go do a spectrum sweep of the venue for NZNOG09, so that we can figure out what frequencies we can use, and any problems we're going to run in to. Is there someone who has one of these in Auckland and can lend it to me for an afternoon? Will pay in beer at the conference :-) -- Nathan Ward

NZNOG 2009 - air travel to Auckland
by Alastair Johnson 13 Dec '08

13 Dec '08

With NZNOG just around the corner, I noticed that Air New Zealand currently has a sale on for domestic travel... including for people who need to get to Auckland in late January. The sale ends on Wednesday. It might be worth looking into this if you're coming up to NZNOG - and I hope you are. http://www.airnewzealand.co.nz/airfares_offers/hotdeals/hot_deals_fares/che… aj (apols for the somewhat OT post, but I think this will be useful to some)

NZRR Route Registry Update
by NZRR Database Notifications 11 Dec '08

11 Dec '08

Dear Colleague, This is to notify you that one or more objects in which you are designated for notification have been modified in the NZRR routing registry database. These objects are used to configure the various NZIX route servers (http://nzix.net/) so you can expect the relevant servers to be reloaded in the near future. The reloading of the servers is staggered over a period of time so that if you are peering with both servers at an exchange, you can maintain at least one BGP session at all times and consequently a full set of routes.
