I'm very enthusiastic about the idea. The Waikato University Network Research group (WAND) would certainly like to be involved. I expect we would like to supply speakers on network measurement research and some non-presenter audience as well. We can host the conference if there is interested in that.

NZNOG People,

I have been very surprised by the feedback I've received to the suggestion of a face to face conference this year.

Potential attendees: 6 Offers to provide speaker(s): 3 Offer to help organise speakers: 1 Offer to help organise: 1 Offer of venue: 1

This is a very impressive level of willingness to do the things that need doing. Not so flash on the audience front, though. Could anyone else who'd consider attending please advise me in the not too distant future, preferably including any preferences on date and/or location.

I haven't yet replied to any of those who've offered to help. I hope to do so early next week.

Should this go ahead, nz2600 (www.2600.org.nz) will definitely do some security related talks. -----Original Message----- From: owner-nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz [mailto:owner-nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz] On Behalf Of Donald Neal Sent: Thursday, January 10, 2002 9:56 AM To: nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz Subject: NZNOG Conference 2002: Feedback So Far NZNOG People, I have been very surprised by the feedback I've received to the suggestion of a face to face conference this year.

Might be interesting. Depending on location and content. Auckland is probably the best. Easier (*) for flying options than Hamilton, yet its easy to travel to Auckland from Hamilton. So that probably covers 60% of the people likely to attend. (*) No $99 one way tickets from Christchurch to Hamilton from the major carriers. I think joining it to another show/conference is probably easy up front. Probably good idea to keep it small the first time around, don't bite off to much. Even consider say tacking it on to one of the Tech Pacific Road Shows or similar. Almost vendor neutral, easy venue, likely audience is increased 10 fold. Again it all depends on the target content/audience. -- Nicholas Lee - nj.lee at plumtree.co dot nz, somewhere on the fish Maui caught. gpg. 8072 4F86 EDCD 4FC1 18EF 5BDD 07B0 9597 6D58 D70C icq. 1612865 Quixotic Eccentricity - To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
