Just a small advisory. I bought 1.5km of fiber for NetHui this week and it was stolen from the supplier (Corys/Mastertrade) before I got there to collect it. Its 12 core D-series, single mode LSZH cable cut as 2x750m. The CCTV footage shows it stolen from the loading bay.

So if you get offered some cheap fiber, I'm sure Corys would be very pleased to hear from you.

Replacement fiber arrived friday pm in one length. After a lot of winding and splicing, the van is all loaded ready to roll tomorrow.

I was suspicious that the folks mad keen on cable laying through the roaring 40's to South America, had nicked it as a part of their project.

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.
