Hi everyone, I'm really pleased to be able to announce that Donald Love's presentation on UFB Realities, which was selected as the best local presentation at NZNOG 2013, has been accepted by the programme committee for the upcoming APRICOT conference in Singapore. This means that Donald will be presenting his paper in front of our regional peers, which is really cool. You can see his paper listed here: http://www.apricot2013.net/program/internet-technologies-2 This is a real testament to the high quality of the local material we saw at NZNOG this year and that's all thanks to all of you for continuing to explore interesting things and being prepared to pull together your findings and present them to the rest of us. So thanks. If you have something technically interesting worth sharing start planning your submission for NZNOG 2014 now :^) NZNOG 2014 will be held January 27-31 2014 in Nelson, New Zealand, and a Call for Papers will be issued to this list later in the year. Speaker slides from this year are still to be posted, sorry for the delay with this. And thanks for all the feedback on and off list about the website - we're on it and hope to get it all sorted soon. Cheers, Gerard
