Hi there, Sorry for the delay. We were about to open registrations yesterday and there were a few more earthquakes. Being the risk adverse bunch that we are we have been to the venue to assess the situation, and the Trustees have decided that there is no reason at present not to proceed with the 2012 NZNOG conference in Christchurch. So we're all go! Buy the gift of NZNOG this Christmas... Or New Year... Register now at https://nznog.lilregie.com There is conference information at http://2012.nznog.org For the terminally lazy, or those who don't want to loose any of those precious leap seconds waiting for network latency, the speaker list so far is: Martin J. Levy (Hurricane Electric) - The state of the IPv6 global Internet Phil Regnauld (NSRC) - ValiDNS Geoff Huston (APNIC) - Digi who? (DNS security) Josh Bailey (Google) - Software Defined Networking, OpenFlow, and how to make an OpenFlow Router Bill Manning (free agent) - Moving the cost of Crypto Nick Wilcox (Netmania UK) - 360 Degrees of Customer Service Jonathan Brewer (free agent) - All your Waves are belong to us Greg Hankins (Brocade) - What's Going on with Ethernet?
