The NZNOG 08 conference will be held on 23-25 January 2008 in Dunedin. The first day of the conference will again be a workshop and tutorial day. It is usually run as one or more parallel 'interest group' streams and practical or interactive workshops of interest to Network Operators. This is a call for papers and activities for the first day of conference. Examples of past activities workshops include 'MPLS and fixed access networks for beginners', 'Mikrotik RouterOS Training', 'APNIC Internet Resource Management Essentials', and a System Administrators mini-conference which included talks on 'Using Debian packages for system administration' and '42 hosts in 1U: Using virtual machines'. A further call for presenters for the remainder of the conference (a single stream of general networking topics) will be made in due course. Please contact prog08 @ nznog.org if you are interested in organising an event on this day or if you have a suggestion about an event that could be included.
