Hey everyone. There must be some perk to having two Kiwis as the co-chairs of the APRICOT programme committee. All I could think of was that I can give you guys a look at the titles of some of the talks we've accepted before they make it up on the website. So here you go. There's more coming in as well as more already submitted that we're working to put the final touches to. So no more excuses, If you needed a reason for your boss, choose some of those and register here: https://2016.apricot.net/register If you know anyone who works for one of our telcos.... I can't recommend the "IPv6 in Mobile Networks" tutorial by Sunny Yeung(a)Telstra enough. He's a great speaker and he's got all the experiences from an organisation who has actually gone down the track of doing something here. If anyone got an issue with not being able to register for any reason, then email me personally and lets have a chat. Don't forget, there's no NZNOG this year, so this is basically it =) Dean CONFERENCE TALKS 'OpenFlow: What is it Good For?' - Pete Moyer(a)Brocade 'Virtualisation For Network Testing & Staff Training' - Philip Smith(a)Network Startup Resource Center 'EDNS (in)Compatibility: Adventures in Protocol Extension' - Eddy Winstead(a)ISC 'Building a Small DC' - Karl Brumund(a)Dyn 'Recent Network Trends in Asia and Oceania' - Cody Williams(a)TeleGeography 'Next Generation Network Architectures' - Sunny Yeung(a)Telstra Corporation Limited 'BGP in 2015' - Geoffrey Huston(a)APNIC 'IPv6 Performance' - Geoffrey Huston(a)APNIC 'New Zealand Broadband Map' - Jay Daley(a)NZRS 'prefix hijacked' - Yoshinobu Matsuzaki(a)IIJ 'SoftBank Global AS migration practice' - Hirokazu Taira(a)SoftBank 'Why I should Model my Network' - Jeff Young(a)Juniper Networks 'Making the best of satellite links to Pacific Islands' - Ulrich Speidel(a)University of Auckland 'DDoD Mitigation using BGP Flowspec' - Justin Ryburn(a)Juniper Networks 'Bit Indexed Explicit Replication (BIER)' - Greg Shepherd(a)Cisco 'Top Misused ASNs' - Anurag Bhatia(a)Hurricane Electric TUTORIALS 'IPv6 in Mobile Networks' - Sunny Yeung(a)Telstra Corporation Limited 'NETCONF/YANG' - Shishio Tsuchiya(a)Cisco Systems G.K.
