RE: CUG

I'm definatly interested! Even though I'm in Hamilton - it definatly sounds worth the trip every month/whatever frequency you/we decide. Personally - I think it is best to keep it as a club - with very minimal/no cost - although I realise that refreshments/venues can cost somewhat. Also - I reakon it'd be nice to see some other vendors equipment - just for some variety. I'm also all for semi practical/workshop type situations - for doing stuff like ipsec or multicast (just to expand one's knowlege). Just the value of having a meet - where cisco people can talk cisco is just huuge. Malcolm

Because I'm passionate about Cisco networking equipment, and I think I can get a good sized crowd coming along. If I made it a NUG (Network Users Group), then it could swell it be something huge.

I have good contacts at Cisco, and the Cisco distributors. I can arrange to get demo equipment for a night to show people, and to let people touch.

I have Cisco qualifications, and can help to get study groups going.

I'm thinking about forming a Cisco Users Group (CUG) in Auckland, and modelling it after other CUGs such as http://www.cisco-users.org/.

Just out of interest, if you were going to the effort of organising something like this, why would you make it vendor-specific?
