NZNOG 05 - Lightning Talks
by Simon Lyall 16 Nov '04

16 Nov '04

As part of the process of finalising the NZNOG 05 schedule it's been suggested that perhaps we have a session of lightning talks (it's been mentioned before but this is a semi-official call). Lightning talks are talks/presentations that last no more than 5 minutes. Several of them are usually run one after the other so that multiple speakers and topics can be covered in a short time. Here is a good page on the subject with links so where these have been held before and there are more links at the bottom of this email: http://www.justanotherperlhacker.org/lightning/ Possible topics might be (see also the pages linked in this email): - How to use RPSL with NZIX Route Registry. - Advice for finding IT jobs in NZ. - I'm involved in the X project, here is why it is cool. - I want to do cool project X. Does anyone want to help? - A quick way to clone Linux Servers - Interesting stats from the netflow across my APE link. - Building and maintaining a large and popular file archive while avoiding the lawyers. - Successful Project: I did project X. It was a success. Here's how you could benefit. - Failed Project: I did project X. It was a failure, and here's why. - Heresy: People always say X, but they're wrong. Here's why. - You All Suck: Here's what is wrong with the our community. - View from the Far Side, experiences as an IT journalist. - Call to Action: Let's all do more of X / less of X. - Wouldn't it be cool if X? - IF each ISP were an animal which animal would it be. - Someone needs to do X. - Maintaining router configs using awk - Wish List - How to get and keep portable IP addresses cheap. - Why X was a mistake. - Why X looks like a mistake, but isn't. - What it's like to do X. - Where I think the New Zealand Internet is going. - Here's a useful technique that worked. - Experiences with Juniper vs Cisco. - Here's a technique I thought would be useful but didn't work. - Why you shouldn't ever run qmail. What I would like to do at this point is gauge the interest people have in having and giving these talks at nznog05. Please email me if: - If you are interested in giving one (suggest possible topics). - You would like to suggest a topic that someone else could give a talk on ( Feel free to suggest the person) - You think it's a good/bad idea. - Any other questions or comments. I'll go over the emails (and subsequent followups) in the next few days and give a summary. If we get the numbers then I'll probably do one myself ( either on a topic I choose or something others suggest). Assuming we get at least half a dozen people prepared to give talks then I'll see if I can get us a place in the schedule. This is a good opportunity to get your pet topic out there or perhaps to get some experience with presenting without having to go to a full hour long talk. Some links. Advice on giving Lightning Talks: http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2004/07/30/lightningtalk.html A couple more links: http://www.metaart.org/maca/perl/lightning/lightning_what.html http://perl.plover.com/lt/lightning-talks.html http://www.metaart.org/maca/perl/lightning/lightning_what.html -- Simon J.

NZNOG 2005 Progress Report - 16 November
by Donald Neal 15 Nov '04

15 Nov '04

NZNOG People, We've received a surprising number of late offers to present, some of which we're still working through. That has drawbacks for the organisers, but it's been good to have a high level of interest from presenters, from which a strong technical programme seems to be growing. We're adding the names of presenters as they're confirmed to the conference web site at http://www.nznog.org/ . Expect to see rapid change to that site over coming weeks. In particular, we expect to be opening registration early in December. So you'll have plenty of opportunity to talk to your manager _before Christmas_. - Donald Neal Donald Neal |Presbyopia - inability to see what Technical Specialist | bishops are for.

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.

NZNOG People, Everyone who made an offer to present by the end of October should by now have received a response from the organising committee. We're still working our way through one or two later proposals. If we've overlooked anyone, could you please contact me off list as soon as possible. Presenter and programme details should begin to appear on the conference web site in the next few days. Thank you for your attention. - Donald Neal Donald Neal |Presbyopia - inability to see what Technical Specialist | bishops are for.
