NZNOG 2002 Dates and Location
by Donald Neal 28 Jan '02

28 Jan '02

NZNOG People, UniForum NZ have announced to their members that their conference this year will run 11-14 July at a hotel near Auckland Airport. (This is the last few days of the school holidays.) The small amount of directly relevant feedback I have received suggests a preference for an event in Auckland, with some people keen to be part of a UniForum conference. Unless I hear objections from people who would otherwise attend, I intend to try to arrange for NZNOG involvement in that conference. A condition of this would be that people are able to register only for days on which NZNOG appears (though other things may well be going on at the same time). These are tentatively Thursday 11th and Friday 12th. We're not yet at the stage where registration costs can be set, but discussion on this list seems to suggest that $100/day is acceptable for those not presenting. If there are objections to this, I'd like to hear now. If not, I intend to get back this week to the people who have offered to help with a view to confirming their interest given these specific dates. It is not my intention that any detailed organisational work be done using this list, but progress announcements can be expected from time to time.

OT: Peering in Australia
by David Anso 24 Jan '02

24 Jan '02

Hi all I have a service that I want to to provide to NZ and Australia only. If I peer at APE and/or WIX I should be able to cover most of the New Zealand Internet community. Does anyone know where I would peer in Australia to achieve connectivity to the majority of the Australian Internet Community? Do the Australian Peering Exchanges have the same sort of coverage as the New Zealand ones? -- David Anso Systems Administrator Zip Internet - To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

NZNOG Conference 2002: Further Feedback
by Donald Neal 23 Jan '02

23 Jan '02

NZNOG People, OK, I asked for further feedback and now I've got some. Quite a lot actually. With a certain amount of interpretation on my part (e.g. all cases of "I'll bring along some other people" interpreted as "I'll bring along one other person"), I believe that we have something like this: Potential attendees volunteering: 21 Potential attendees volunteered by others: 7 Offers to provide or be speaker(s): 7 Offer to help organise speakers: 1 Offers to help organise: 5 Offers of venue: 4 Offer of sponsorship (i.e. money): 1 Offer of exhibition network equipment: 1 There have been relatively few statements of preference as to location: Auckland: 3 Wellington: 3 With UniForum NZ: 2 Hawke's Bay: 1 Outside Auckland and Wellington: 1 Interpreting the comments of two University of Waikato staff as votes for Hamilton would not clarify that picture any. I'm impressed. All of that in three days. We do appear to have enough interest to justify proceeding to planning a specific event. In doing that we face a number of inter-related decisions. 1/ Do we wish to restrict this to one day, or are we looking for a residential conference? I think this is the most important of the decisions. It has implications for cost, obviously, but also for where we do this and what sort of organisational structure is needed. A residential conference should probably be outside (though within reach of) Auckland or Wellington to keep costs down and to reduce the temptation to go back to work. Conversely, that can be expected to make it harder for some people to attend. I'm assuming that we do want a national event rather than local meetings over drinks, but if that's not the case, now's the time to say so. I'm also assuming that multicasting is an add-on to a physical event, not a substitute for one. 2/ Are we happy to have a vendor provide a venue? There has been at least one quite feasible, as well as generous, offer from a vendor. Whether this is even an issue depends on the answer to the previous question. 3/ How often are we planning to do this? Should we be thinking big on the basis that this is a once-a-year thing, or are we trying to keep the scale down so that it will be repeatable more often? This is closely related to cost, in money and time to organise. See also question 1. 4/ How much emphasis do we want to place on construction of a laboratory/exhibition network as opposed to paper sessions? More hands-on fiddling means the option of having attendees have stuff explained to them as they do it, but requires a longer event. My Opinion: "The opinions expressed in this programme are bloody good ones." - F. Dagg I wish us to be very conservative in what we expect from the team of people we put together to organise this. I believe that if we choose a residential event we should piggyback it into UniForum NZ's event and seek to have them do a fair amount of the work for us. Conversely, if we choose a one-day event we should seek to cooperate with a host organisation - whether an education institution or a company - while ensuring that a NZNOG committee (yes, sorry, it has come to that) retains control over the programme. In either case a certain amount of exposure for vendors is to be expected. As to frequency, I'm inclined to go for as large an event as we think we can manage, and worry about the next one after we've learned about running one. Others may think differently. I believe that the composition of the committee/team/chain gang will vary depending on exactly what we're trying to achieve. So I'd like to see some discussion of these questions, and others that seem relevant _to potential attendees_ before we try to work out who's going to be asked to take the next steps. I'd hope for some clearer idea of where we're going within the next few days. - Donald Neal ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "This communication, including any attachments, is confidential.

Conference
by Michael Hallager 22 Jan '02

22 Jan '02

Hi all, I would like to confirm my interest in the conference. However I am somewhat sick and tired of the large amount of E-Mail this has generated in my inbox. (30+ messages per day). I would anticipate attending the conference to learn more about something, however I would prefer that the minority who wish to have a protracted debate on what this "something" is could do so in private, and then when they have made their mind up- then send the ideas to the list. Any comments? Based on what I have seen, I would like to learm more about the cable network setup/s. (As covered in recent posts). Beyond that, I am happy with whatever else. Hence, I only need one email to express my interest.
