Inaugral Meeting of the NZ OpenStack Users Group
by Andrew Ruthven 29 Jul '13

29 Jul '13

Hey, A bunch of us who are working with OpenStack in New Zealand are putting together a users group. If you're working with or on OpenStack, or even if you just want to, then we'd love to hear from you. What is OpenStack? OpenStack is a global collaboration of developers and cloud computing technologists producing the ubiquitous open source cloud computing platform for public and private clouds. The project aims to deliver solutions for all types of clouds by being simple to implement, massively scalable, and feature rich. The technology consists of a series of interrelated projects delivering various components for a cloud infrastructure solution. [0] The first meeting is to determine where everyone is at with OpenStack. Do you have a 3 node or a 10,000 node cluster*[1]? Are you a core developer on an OpenStack project, or do you want to be? (Does that thought terrify you? That's okay as well.) >From this initial meeting we'd like to work out what topic areas are of interest to the larger group, and who is willing to talk about their areas of interest. Practical details: When: 6pm on 26 August Duration: Probably an hour and a half Website: http://www.meetup.com/New-Zealand-OpenStack-User-Group Location: Level 3 Catalyst House 150 Willis Street Wellington The front door of Catalyst House locks at 6pm, there'll be a sign on the door with someones' phone number on it. There'll be beer, non-beer and nibbles. [2] Cheers! [0] Pinched from http://www.openstack.org [1] You don't need to have a cluster to come along, that's okay, we can help there as well. [2] Thank you to Catalyst IT for sponsoring this event. -- Andrew Ruthven, Wellington, New Zealand At home: andrew(a)etc.gen.nz | linux.conf.au 2014 | Come swan on the Swan River | http://lca2014.linux.org.au -- Andrew Ruthven, Wellington, New Zealand At home: andrew(a)etc.gen.nz | linux.conf.au 2014 | Come swan on the Swan River | http://lca2014.linux.org.au

24 Jul '13

Hi all, I wanted to make sure you know that applications are open for InternetNZ fellowships to attend the Global Internet Governance Forum (IGF) to be held in Bali, Indonesia 21-25 October 2013. About the IGF: The IGF is the global multistakeholder Internet event, which brings together people from all over the world to talk about Internet issues and policy. Find out more here: http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/aboutigf Regional and national IGF initatives, such as our very own event NetHui, are ideal to feed into the global event. InternetNZ is keen to encourage the Internet community to attend, especially as this year's IGF is relatively close to us, in the Asia-Pacific region, being held in Bali Indonesia. Find out more about the event here: http://igf2013.or.id/ What's on offer: These fellowships are designed to enable NetHui participants and the wider Internet Community to join in the discussions and proceedings this year in Bali. InternetNZ is seeking to award Fellowships across the wide range of interests and topics under discussion at the IGF. InternetNZ will provide fellowship funding to up to 4 New Zealanders to attend. Fellowship funding is limited to no more than $2,500, which will probably require some additional funding to be secured or provided by the applicant. Applications close tomorrow 26 July so get an application quick if you are interested! https://internetnz.net.nz/content/InternetNZ-IGF-Bali-Fellowships -- Dean Pemberton Technical Policy Advisor InternetNZ +64 21 920 363 (mob) dean(a)internetnz.net.nz To protect and promote the Internet for New Zealand.

Off List Replies Please: Quotes for IP Transit
by Alexander Neilson 03 Jul '13

03 Jul '13

Slightly early for Beer O'clock but, Beer We have reached the cap of our existing IP Transit capabilities and have requesting pricing and lead time from our existing provider for increased capacity. If anyone on list is providing IP Transit and can handover to us in SkyTower L48 we would be interested in seeing price per Mbps for Domestic and also for International. This is a pricing comparison as we are very happy with the service level of our existing provider. Price advantage would need to be substantial to more or possibly a backup feed etc. Please can any replies be sent directly to me and not to the list. Simply posted here to invite to treat. Looking for pricing in the few 100's of Mbps each of Domestic and International transit. Thank you Now back to the regular Beer Schedule (I mean intense discussions of network operations) Regards Alexander
