I have a theory that people have people more 'appearance management' orientated in the last 5-10 years as social media and the bulk of the populace have found communities of practice through CMC(computer mediated communications).
I'll put an alternative theory that NZNOG is not engaging the employees of the larger companies which means that as the industry consolidates we miss a larger proportion of the market. Does anyone have the number of employees of the larger companies ( Telecom, Telstra, Orcon, Chorus, Vodafone, etc)[1] that attended the recent NZNOGs? ( to remove the "can't talk in public" bias ) Speaking of alternative forums, I kind of manage the NZNOG linkedin group. Anyone have thoughts on directions they want that to go?
