Thanks Jon,
The voluntary nature of the trustees means that from time to time we do drop the ball on things like this. This is not the first time that something like is has been pointed out. So since that last time we've managed to recover almost all of the program details from NZNOG's past. We have about 95% of that info going back to 2006 or so. And big thanks to the video archive that Richard Naylor has built over the years.
One of the trustees actually put forward a proactive proposal a month or so back to sort out the NZNOG conference website once and for all, but it was the consensus of the trustees that it wouldn't be right to simply sign off and assign funds to that development as the process needs to be competitive, or at least have a couple or three choices as to how the new website gets sorted.
So right now we know know what we need to do, but we just don't collectively have the time to do it right now. Like right now.
If someone would like to volunteer some time to helping us run a process where we select an outfit to get us some nice online bling, and then it actually happens, that'd be great. We'll assign a small budget to get the site developed. We're also working on a plan to ensure that this new website is well maintained amongst other things. More on that later..

Hi All,
Two months ago we had a conference in Wellington. Since then the website has still not been updated to reflect the programme on the day.
Previous conference websites have disappeared from the Internet.
I understand the trustees have funds at their disposal, and I call on them to take one of the following actions:
1.) Hire someone to sort out the site 2.) Find someone who will do it for free 3.) (or) step down and appoint someone who cares
Sorry guys, I like you as people, but your performance here has been abysmal. Fix it please.
If you don't want to do anything, I put my hand up for taking over a trustee seat.
-JB
