Thankyou to everybody who responded to the NZNOG survey, the results are in and are very useful to us. Geoff Huston was considered a top three speaker most often followed by Francesco Alberti of Eolo. Hamid Maani of Hawaiki and Kraig Winters representing the Red Cross were third equal with a large group just behind them. More importantly almost all the speakers were considered interesting by someone attending the conference so we are pleased with the programme reception. Respondents liked Queenstown but didn't like the venue. They wanted desks in the conference and aircon in the rooms. The most popular destination choices for next years conference were Napier, Wellington and New Plymouth. This fairly closely corresponds with the trustees' thinking so we will check them out for venues and accommodation with air conditioned rooms. It will, however, be difficult to top jet boating as a social activity. Just over 90% of people are open to us changing the conference dates. We will investigate this. There were almost no other conferences identified to avoid clashes with but public holidays are clearly sancrosanct. There was also a suggestion that we avoid school holdiays which we currently don't do. People are happy for us to make the conference a bit bigger to make sure people don't miss out. There were also a lot of individual comments and suggestions that we will try to take on board. Richard Nelson
Please try and avoid linuxconf.au; I know there are a dozen or so peeps
that I talked with there that would have been at NZNOG (including myself)
had it not clashed.
Next year it is in Christchurch.

Seconded. I would have been at NZNOG if it hadn't been that Linux.Conf.Au (Sydney) and NZNOG happened to be the same week (FTR, only the second time that has happened ever, and not coincidentally only the second NZNOG I've missed....; they've often been adjacent weeks though).

LCA is probably the largest reason (but not the only one) that we are considering changing dates to avoid clashes. Richard. On 09/02/18 12:47, Ewen McNeill wrote:

As someone who has to travel quite a way to come to New Zealand, it would be really cool if NZNOG was either the week before or after LCA as I could kill two birds with one stone. -T -- Tarus BALOG, Maintainer Main: +1 919 533 0160 The OpenNMS Group, Inc.
