Ahh, so LCA changed their week and NZNOG gets blamed for the clash.
Yeah, but to be fair, LCA usually gets its dates announced before NZNOG does. I seem to recall that there was something else on in LCA's usual week that cased LCA to get moved.
As with most events when LCA is held really depends on what is going on in the city that is hosting it, including other events happening at the venue. There is no standard week for LCA (I can speak with some authority here). Also, as Simon pointed NZNOG moves around as well. I know, I got in trouble for speaking at NZNOG'06 a few days before I got married in March, attending the rest of the conference was definitely not an option. As it is, I expect this'll be another year I miss out on NZNOG, not because of LCA this time but because I'll have a new baby so I'll miss both LCA and NZNOG. But, you can attend both! Submit talks to Simons miniconf at LCA! There is a beer festival[0] in Ballarat on the Saturday after LCA2012[2]! Cheers!
