During and after this year's successful conference, a number of
suggestions were made to organisers about the way in which the next
NZNOG conference could be organised. After consideration of a number of
generous offers to host the conference, the organising committee have
opted to retain a stand-alone conference structure, but once again to
try a new venue.
Next year's New Zealand Network Operators' Group Conference is scheduled
to run from 31 January to 2 February 2007 in Palmerston North. Our hosts
are Inspire.net (http://www.inspire.net.nz/) . This will be the first
time the conference has been in Palmerston North, and the first time
we've been hosted by an ISP.
The venue is to be at Massey University's campus.
A Call for Presenters should be issued later this month. Please form an
orderly queue ...

Dear Colleague,
This is to notify you that some object(s) in NZRR database
which you either maintain or are listed as to-be-notified have
been added, deleted or changed.
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.

EU ORDERS DEUTSCHE TELEKOM TO SHARE NETWORK
The European Commission (EC) supported German regulators who ordered
Deutsche Telekom AG to open its high-speed Internet networks to
competitors. As a result of the order, the company must permit
competitors to buy access on its broadband network to offer their own
services to end users. German regulators will have advance approval of
the price charged. Past refusals to grant access forced the company's
business rivals to build their own networks, effectively preventing
them from operating outside cities and causing higher Internet prices
in rural areas, according to the EC.

Just a quick heads up but it is likely that myself and a few others will
be organising a Systems Administrators stream on the Wednesday of NZNOG 07
in January next year.
The stream will be a operationally orientated event for those NZNOG people
who work with servers and server-based services especially in an Internet
context (web facing rather than say desktop management).
The Call for Papers will probably look something like this:
http://sysadmin.miniconf.org/cfp.html
which is from an event held in January as part of linux.conf.au .
Please send me some email if you are interested in participating and/or
presenting or otherwise have some feedback. Now is also a good time to
start considering if you or someone you know might have a suitable
presentation.
Official announcements and CFPs will be made when details are finalized.
