ICANN Wellington
by Nick Wallingford 28 Mar '06

28 Mar '06

There's a page with an IRC channel and the streaming audio/video of the events in the Illot Theatre, where some of the activities of the ICANN conference are happening. I'm hoping that the channel will be monitored through today's sessions to take remote questions. http://www.icann.org.nz/irc.htm Nick Wallingford

.nz Whois Unavailable
by David Zanetti 27 Mar '06

27 Mar '06

Announcing on behalf NZRS: Due to a failure in one of the SRS sites, whois.srs.net.nz had to be switched from one site to another. While DNS propogates, you may find problems talking to whois.srs.net.nz. Some registrar sites may be okay, depending on exactly how they query whois (XML or using a name other than whois.srs.net.nz). Should be all resolved in a few hours (since that's the TTL :) ) -- David Zanetti <david.zanetti(a)catalyst.net.nz> Team Leader, Systems Administration Catalyst IT Limited +64-4-8032233 +64-21-402260

Re: [nznog] NZNOG06 redux

In message <20060327104307.GA30241(a)citylink.co.nz>, Simon Blake writes: >4) should we have a sysadmin stream? As the person who suggested this (al beit with the prompting of Simon Lyall who was hunting for ligntning talks!), I should say that the motivation is more that there is a small, but growing, group of people interested in reviving SAGE-NZ, who are looking for a conference venue. There were quite a few New Zealanders at the System Administrators miniconf at Linux.Conf.Au in Dunedin in January: http://sysadmin.miniconf.org/program.html Many of them seemed interested in doing it again. But the next Linux.Conf.Au is in Sydney, and so it's likely (based on past experience) that not many of them will make the trip. Since SAGE-NZ isn't really built up enough to run its own independent conference the obvious solution is to find some appropriate existing conference and run something in conjunction with that. NZNOG is an obvious one because there's a reasonable overlap between those that expressed an interest in "doing it again" and NZNOG attendees already. And indeed between what a "system administrator" and a "network administrator" does. If NZNOG is not interested (or stronger, unwilling) to act as host to such a miniconf then that's obviously understandable. But if it is willing to act as host, then I think it'd be best seen as helping SAGE-NZ out, perhaps getting a few more people to help organise things, giving NZNOG attendees an option to learn more about the application layer, and maybe coincidentally helping a few more people justify attending (if only to themselves). After some discussion with Simon Lyall, et al, I suspect the best approach would be a one-day miniconf aligned with the NZNOG tutorial day. That kind of miniconf approach has worked very well for Linux.Conf.Au (which now has half a dozen of them regularly on the days immediately prior to the main conference) and doesn't seem to noticably distract people from the main conference. But of course if y'all really hate the idea, then SAGE-NZ will need to figure something else out. Ewen

Xtra deferring SMTP... again?
by Mark Foster 23 Mar '06

23 Mar '06

Suprised noone has commented today on the fact that it seems since before lunch, Xtra have been deferring SMTP: -- Sorry,_I_wasn't_able_to_establish_an_SMTP_connection._(#4.4.1)/ I figure some people must have some large queues? Further, I believe mail from Xtra's network outbound is also being queued/delayed (as i'm waiting for some.) The whole engineering team can't be at NZNOG - surely! Cheers Mark. (PS: Noted that http://xtra.co.nz/help still shows 'there are no known problems on the Xtra Network' despite the fact I had the issue confirmed by someone in their support team...)

Further to my earlier email, theres a trailer outside the NZNOG06 venue with a satellite link via www.inzonecorp.com (I think - its raining and I'm inside finally). It isn't live, but has neat toys. We'll open the doors at morning and lunch time. For those not at NZNOG I'll post some photos later.

NZNOG 2006 Timetable Revision
by Donald Neal 20 Mar '06

20 Mar '06

The conference's timetable was revised yesterday to better the requirements of a number of speakers. There has been no further change to the material to be presented, but there have been a number of changes to what is scheduled to take place when. There can now be no further changes to the timetable, except of course the last-minute ones forced on us by events beyond our control. - Donald Neal Donald Neal |"I haven't tested it yet, but it Support Engineer |should be perfectly safe."
