I know this seems somewhat 'not networking' but it's actually been the majority of what our clients struggle with for the last couple of years.

Interesting. I guess I TL;DR this as 'Getting great networking from a *nix system'. To ask a follow up question, who would be the best trainer on this in our part of the world? Would we want someone from Google, Facebook, etc? Is there someone who's an expert at this based in NZ? WAND? Dave

TICSA and general LI compliance, from both a deep technical perspective and an operational perspective for NZ network operators and service providers(*).

[* ideally from local providers' and industry players' perspectives rather than government departments' perspectives]

A tutorial on OpenLI along with an update from the government suits? (I know some people...) https://openli.nz Dave

I'm sure if you want to develop a curriculum around tuning, someone will want it for a tutorial or workshop. I figure it takes around a week to develop and polish each full day of talks and labs. Alternatively you can suggest a topic where someone has already done all that work, and offered it for free for the NOG meeting. On Mon, 27 Aug 2018, 06:50 Joel Wirāmu Pauling, wrote:

Possibly/maybe something I would be willing to throw my hat into the ring on if there is enough interest. I can think of a few others who have been dabbling in this space locally for some-time who are likely better sources tho.

I am wondering perhaps if Tuning could be wrapped into the SDN bits. Generally goes hand in hand.
