Some cross over the IT Security Community over the last year have started in2Security http://in2security.org.nz/ which in its first year focused was breeding the next generation of security professionals. They did this through setting up a mentoring program and doing presentations at Universities. On 19 November 2012 09:33, Sam Sargeant wrote:

How has the NZNOG community previously ensured that when a few key people decide to do something else the organisation doesn't get into trouble, so new blood keeps coming through?

Hi Sean,

Aside from the team of trustees and conference helpers there's no other organisation to speak of so I'm assuming that's what we're talking about.

From what I can see there are a couple of trustees who have been appointed in the last year. If you missed it during the last NZNOG in Christchurch I'm sure they'll be happy to introduce themselves. On the organising committee there have been 3-4 new faces in the last two years before I stopped doing any of the conference work.

I don't think these have been community efforts; people on the team have organised themselves quietly enough that I'd guess the wider community was unaware of any changes. Perhaps you and the list could give feedback on this approach? I'm wondering if there was something specific that triggered your question.

Sam.
