Hi All

From time to time we run into people who claim that we keep moving the NZNOG conference dates around. Normally this is because NZNOG happens to conflict with another conference that they might want to go to.

The official policy is.. "The last full usable week in January" I'm just about the give the NZNOG update at the APRICOT meeting in Kuala Lumpur. So I thought I'd solve the problem once and for all. Here are the conference dates for the next hundred years along with a script to check which a particular year. I might have a couple of these wrong and we do reserve the right to change them if required, but they are a good place to start. #!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict ; use DateTime ; use feature qw( say ) ; my $year = $ARGV[ 0 ]; my $dt = DateTime->last_day_of_month( year => $year , month => 1 ) ; while ( $dt->day_of_week != 5 ) { $dt->subtract( days => 1 ) ; } my $nznogenddate = $dt->dmy; $dt->subtract (days => 5) ; my $nznogstartdate = $dt->dmy; print ("In $year NZNOG will be held from $nznogstartdate to $nznogenddate\n") ; $ for i in `seq 2015 1 2115`; do ./dates.pl $i ; done In 2015 NZNOG will be
