If someone thinks they have something that people might >want to hear about post a short description and see who shows some >interest. I want to keep open - _if people are interested_ - the option of doing things which would not be appropriate for the mailing list. Most obviously, tutorials at a level too introductory for the content to belong here. Whether that's "What is BGP and why is it not used in Chinese cooking?" or whatever. I'm not sure that the format follows the programme. For one thing, we do have the option of bringing in an international speaker of some stature, but doing that would have an effect on the cost. We have had nine offers so far to be or provide speakers. I believe that what we do about that number depends on the format chosen - one day one stream will not allow that many. (That's one reason I haven't yet got back to those people.) Choosing a more ambitious style of event allows (requires?) us more actively to solicit contributions. So decisions about the format may well drive decisions about the content. More complex still, the decision about whether to run a demo network or how large it should be is both a format and a content decision. It has a lot to do with venue, too. So far, what feedback to the list there has been on format suggests that we're looking for a two-day residential event. If that is some sort of consensus, then I agree that it's time to think about content, but I'd like a more general organising group rather than merely a program committee, since decisions do need to be made about things like the venue and the price. Right now, I'd like more feedback to allow us to judge whether that is indeed a consensus view.

NZNOG Conference 2002: Topics - Local loop unbundling -
by Brian Gibbons 14 Jan '02

14 Jan '02

Juha> > Local loop unbundling? J S Russell>>The other topics are pretty "pure" technical ones. J S Russell>>This topic you suggest has the stench of politics about it. :) Richard Naylor>>My own view on this is that the loop shouldn't be unbundled The politics come from phone companies and their desire to deliver an analogue dial tone to a subscriber - leave them to it. Many subscribers to this list already use one of Telecom's "local loop access" products - IPNet. How about a technical discussion at the conference on IPNet - the good the bad and the ugly. I am in the same camp as Richard (don't unbundle the copper) but IPNet doesn't quite do it for me. A technical presentation by Telecom on IPNet would probably be beneficial to conference attendees. This could lead into a discussion on what ISPs really want for their downstream via Telecom.

There's been little feedback so far on this. My own guess is that that is because there is not just a single reason why people go to conferences. Partly, it's to learn things from the formal programme. Partly, it's to learn things informally. Vendors will be there in part to promote their brand and quitew possible to sell specific products or services. Potential buyers may actually want to know about specific prodiucts or services. Some attendees will be there in part simply to meet people whom its valuable in different ways to know. And not everyone is expected to be interested in every subject discussed, either. If not stopped, I'll proceed on the assumption that we can plan to do something without seeking a unifying reason for it. However, if people who would attend in the right circumstances do have goals they think we should be aiming to achieve, now's the time to speak up. - Donald Neal -- Donald Neal Special Operations Network Delivery Telecom New Zealand Ltd ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "This communication, including any attachments, is confidential.

NZNOG Conference 2002: Topics
by Andreas Girardet 13 Jan '02

13 Jan '02

>From the past year of discussions - IPv6. Migration strategies - Wireless beyond 2.4 GHz - Voice over IP - SPAM - SOP6 and freedom on the net If someone goes through the archives, I am sure we will have more points like that. Simple voting could decide then what the actual main topics are and we could then have workshops rather than long speeches. We really just need one or two main topics and could have work shops in which we actually draw up some steps to then be implemented in our various companies. If we keep it simple we will more likely succeed in getting something useful out of it. Beer is something that will happen automatically.

For example. We don't want to have content that fits into the Governance or Legislative domain because thats for ISOCNZ. We also might want to stay away from the wider Open Systems issues, because thats for Uniforum to address. This list is for Technical Network issues only. So things that I would not be happy to see in an NZNOG conference. . "A detailed look at the politics of neutral peering" . "Security issues of your favorite Linux distro" . "Domainz" (I'm going to get flamed on this one. but I don't think that there are any TECHNICAL issues that need to be discussed.) Things that I think are slightly more appropriate. . "An explanation of how new net technology X could be deployed in NZ" . "Detailed look at protocol X" . "Hands on workshop to install and demonstrate X." You get my point. We are a technical list, it should be a technical conference. Dean - To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
