Just out of interest, if you were going to the effort of organising something like this, why would you make it vendor-specific?
You do have to wonder. You would probably get a larger turnout if you made it vendor-neutral. Afterall, of all the large core networks deployed in NZ over the last 2 years, lets count how many have been purely Cisco? Being Multivendor is now an advantage. You never know. Not nailing it down to Cisco might mean that peoples horizons get extended a bit. And you have more than one Vendor to hit up for Beer money. I have just as large an expense account as the Cisco engineers, but you're never seeing any of it if it's Cisco only. =) =) =) Then again you might just want this to be a Cisco club. Thats ok, just wanted to show another side. It would be a shame if a country, with as few Network Engineers as NZ, had to have so many little cliques. CUG JUG (Notice the cool beer connotation here =) ) NUG LUG etc, etc, etc Just lets have one, make it the best you can and then everyone benefits from it.
